He's only 20.. 2nd round pick (#43).. Apparently, he slipped through the cracks for the knicks on draft day but now he's gone..


I strongly believe knicks will be haunted for trading Ariza away..

HE hadn't developed a consistent jumpshot yet but @ 20, will get better.. Problem is, it won't be with the Knicks... HE's gonna haunt us big time.. you watch!!

The Future. GO KNICKS!

I think you're right. I am not saying he will be a big-time star but I believe he will be a good player, a true defensive and rebounding presence.

It all depends on what the Knicks get for Francis.

As a big fan of Reezy I really was sad to see him fall out of good graces.

Problem as I see it is we can't have too many projects and must reduce those who lack fundamentals. Butler was a nice surprise and is also a project but has many of the tools and can project better than one who has yet to get it.

Reezy lacked handle and a shot. If his attitude or "delusions" elevated his stature in his own mind, then perhaps until he matures he will not progress as fast.

This is the NBA and he was given many opportunities even with larry. Given the above and not wanting to start in Los Angeles might show he is not ready to handle the pressure of being in this game.

QDog has the handle, size and shot already. Since he already Phuched up, he might be ready to understand that professional life is not all fun and games.

With Butler, Qdog, with the 3 rooks we have lots of youth.

Agreed. Lets hope Isiah knows what to do with it.
