Whoever thinks this guy is going to be a backup center this year is sadly mistaken. Don't get me wrong, I think for a guy 2 yrs out of high school he has some nice skills but he is so far from a regular in the nba. He would get killed playing against stars in the nba. I actually was a alittle disappointed in how he looks physically this summer. Considering how he spent part of last year with us and all he has in his life is to work on basketball I would have thought he would look incredible this year. He looks very soft ,with no defination in his body. He needs to spend all year developing in the nbdl and MAYBE in the future he can be something. Now I know why he saw no time playing with us last year.

You said stars of the NBA, well there are just 2 stars at the center position in the ( SHAQ & BIG Z ) !! So i think he will be ok as a backup center !
Isiah Thomas will lead us back to the playoffs in 2006 !!!

wasn't it CBA? whatever, point is, he's big, strong, has a few offensive moves to develop, low risk, high reward. i'm willing to be patient.

I'm not saying drop the guy, rather he needs alot more experience playing which should be in the nbdl. To think the knicks are going to be a good team with butler in the rotation, then thats crazy. We need another plan for a backup center because butler will not contribute to this team this year.

sorry bro. CBA is probably better competition than the NBDL though.

yeah. low risk. high reward. cheap practice player. the type of guy that if he was on any other team, people would want him on the knicks. I like.

yeah what he said, I think Jackir Butler was a brilliant move but it means nothing if he isn't given a role and minutes

That's exactly the kind of moves we have to make all the time, while trying to bigger splashs. You neevr know what kind of players you could find under the radar. I mean, guys like starks and mason were not properly league mvps when they came aboard and those helped us go the the finals.

At least he'll be motivated for practice and will push the starters. That helps a lot too.

Mate, I heard that with so many scrubs (who stuck with us really long) that I don't think the word guaranted should be used anymore on that topic.

Actually i have watched all the games that have been shown and again nothing i have seen tells me this guy can actually contribute something this year. What have you seen that leads you to say that? 2pts, 3rebs in 15 mins vs a scrub sl player?

Aguire didn't run a single play for the guy and Butler was able to contribute. He out muscled bigger guys, and his defense was stellar. While Nate Robinson got all the glory for ball hogging in Vegas, Butler, Ariza and Lee were playing great defense. Butler does the same thing that Sweetney does but is willing to play smart defense. I am sorry if defense is no longer appreciated in the NBA but I glad to see that some guys still believe in it. I like this kid's potential.
