Both guys have played good--most of the guards in the draft have all shown nice signs. If you look at the Knicks--we really needed a big man and we did take a 6-11 player. Big men who come out of college are going to take longer time to develop than smalls. I think there will be some big men in the previous draft who end up on high plateaus--they need time to grow into their bodies and learn the NBA game much more so than the guards who really were all pretty physically well built to go with the skills. The way the NBA is right now in terms of defense--it caters to guards.

EG will be a much better player than Wilson in the league. If we had him right now we would have a nice two guard for the next 10 years.

Not at all I think Walsh should have offered 5 years about 42 million and got it done this summer. Instead he waited and now he has no trading leverage to get equal value and now risks losing him for nothing. Lee is getting 17 points almost 14 boards a game since Zach left. Lee is a rookie when it comes to working in the post because he has had Curry and Zach in there clogging things up. Bottom line we are playing for 2010 when we should try to make this team better now and sign one free agent and pay Lee the 8 or 9 and use the other 6 or 7 and get a defensive minded big or shooter.

Walsh waits on everything that is why we are playing with seven players right now. It is starting to take a toll on duhon and he doesnt deserve that. I think Walsh didnt sign him because they didnt think he could fit in this system. Lee has been with the Knicks for about 4 years and they have traded lottery picks for post players, drafted lottery picks, signed bigs and the only person that is constant is Lee.

We had enough with Isiah and his lack of plan and of patience. Walsh has both and it will be the best for the Knicks. Why rushing on signing a player when you can explore 2-for-1 trades? Why buy out Robinson, something I've called for many times, if he would be included in a trade to make the numbers work? Walsh is exactly the guy we needed in NY. He studies everything before making a decision. It usually results in a better deal for the Knicks.

I remember i started a thread before the draft in favor of us drafting DJ Augustine and you dismissed him and pretty much proclaimed him as a nonfactor. I though he would be a good pg in the league but he has even exceeded my expectations a little.

I remember seeing a prevalent opinion his ceiling was no higher than Jameer Nelson or worst case Tyronn Lue. I thought some might be selling him short if they thought his best would be Jameer Nelson.
