Posted by BigC:Posted by TMS:He is not better than Derek Harper. Harper was a big time scorer before he joined the Knicks. Also let's be real he is not better than Marbury. As far as Mark Jackson i don't think he's as talented a player as Marbury or nearly the score he was, that wasn't my point... i'm talking about purely PG skills... orchestrating an offense & doing the little things every good PG should do to help a team win games... as a scorer obviously Harper & Marbury were both better players... anyway, regarding Harper we're not talking about the player he was on other teams, just the player he was on the Knicks.

Posted by islesfan:Posted by TMS:Posted by islesfan: Duhon's game is very simlar to Cheeks and Ward's game. He is a good pg to have he won't blow you away with stats but he will get the job done. I'm happy with his play and he just did what no other Knicks pg just did and that is put up 22 assists. If Lee and Harrington didn't blow some of those passes he might have had 25+ assists tonight. |

Duhon is a really good player. A winner. I told you guys this was a good signing.
He's a better defender than Jackson, but Mark Jackson was stronger and a superior offensive player in every way. Duhon is a good player. He's a winner and he's playing for every PG's dream of a coach. "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs

Posted by TMS: Do you remember Harper when he was on the Mavs? He would run rings around Duhon. Harper had to distribute the ball to guys like Aguirre, Tarpley, Perkins, Schrempf and Blackman and keep them happy. Riley put the clamps on the running game and Harper was very effective running it but he could run any type of offense. If it didn’t work in Phoenix with Nash and Stoutamire... it’s just not a winning formula. It’s an entertaining formula, but not a winning one. - Derek Harper talking about D'Antoni's System

As far as Mark Jackson I don't think he is a better passer than Harper either. Remember the Knicks passed the ball around and had other players bring up the ball. So the assists were spread out. On the Knicks right now only one player brings up the ball. When Harper was here you had Mason, Starks plus Harper. BigC's Knick blogs and Knicks

Duhon is OK but what makes him good in Mike and his system.
It looks a lot like Nash explosion when system makes player. Same goes for Lee and other guys. Give Mike good soldiers and he will win a lot of wars. "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." Hamlet
