His range is better and better every game where you can see him being a legit 3 point threat. Some of his moves around the basket are awesome and he really has a nice mix pump fakes and turn around jumpers he beats you with mid range. He rebounds well, he's a top notch NBA athlete and he plays hard on defense. Shoots 48%...

what his this guy's ceiling?

Core roation?
All star?
Elite player?

He really seems to play like he wants it and wants to win.

Wilson Chandler currently reminds me of Kendall gill when he was in Charlotte.

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

chandler's a little up and down right now. He put's up some decent numbers on off nights, and puts up great numbers on others. I think it's too early to say, but I think he will be the go to guy next season and then we should really see what he's made of.
I'll never trust this' team again.

Chandler just needs an opportunity to play and at time make mistakes. If his shots aren't falling that doesn't mean you yank him. You continue to stick with him. Whatever his game will be he will come. My favorite moment from him is his willingness to defend the best player on the court. Pushing Nate out of the way so he can man up Pierce shows me a lot.

Wilson Chandler is simply nasty. He has the stuff to be one of the elite players if not an all star. I mean how many elite players get snubbed by the All Star game? Chandler is getting there. He can do everything, We are all witnesses to his growth as probably the best knicks player of this era.

i compared his ceiling to Caron Butler a few weeks back & i still think he's got the ability to reach that level.

I think he's pretty good. I think he has all-star potential but I'm not sure I'd go even that far just yet.

I guess the question I have is about some of Chandler's mistakes and missed shots.

Tonight in traffic he missed some in close lay ups that were rushed. All Stars make those shots.

Is this a learning experience, and does he figure the game out?

Or is he Frank Williams Part 2?

He reminds me a little of Shawn Marion. Right now I think he can be at least as good as Gerald Wallace.

Dude, Chandler is a second year player who barely played last season. He'll make a couple of mistakes.

that move he made where he spun into the lane and made that hanging shot, had me like "wow!!

if his ceiling is caron butler, but just a bigger version. I will take that in a heartbeat..

His jumper is becomming automatic from within the arc..

I little rough on him especially for a 23rd pick and 2nd year player, who didn't play much at all last year. If his work ethic is like I hear and the little i have seen, he will be better then Butler and Marion. All his mistakes are normal for guy's coming in the league. He will with out a question be an all star when this roster becomes more balance. His IQ is up there now and will only get better. He's guarding all stars and guys much bigger then him, that alone says something

Life must suck. I mean is that what you take away from this game when a 2nd year player who spent the majority of his time on the bench in his 1st year. We now get on him because he isn't able to go perfect from the field every night. Has it come down to this. Because he isn't able to shut down the NBA Finals MVP by himself.
