Why doesn't Harrington pick-n-roll with Duhon more?

Is this only for Lee?

Harrington, to me, always seems to play outside the offense. Would be nice to integrate him more.

Harrington is only interested in shooting 3's or going 1 on 1 unfortunately.

I wonder the same thing with Fugazy, as well as Gallo. I feel like both guys could just hit that open 18 footers all day long.

Fugazy and Gallo play within the offense though so I am OK with their play. And I think is just waiting for Gallo to get into better game shape before he starts looking for him on offense.

I think of the group, only DLee is capable of consistently receiving the passes succesfully and finishing. The last game, I saw Al, Tim and Gallo try to play the pick and roll but don't seem to have the concept of when to set a pick and when to roll. I think it is just a matter of what they are comfortable with.

I like what I've seen from Harrington. He does take bad shots at times, but for the most part, he comes up with very big buckets and he gives the effort on defense.

He's a one on one offensive player, but we're gonna need him for big buckets and when Nate the other scorers cool off. He jacks up 3s but he also takes it to the bucket. He's a very good player.

Agreed, but ultimately he most likely is just a rental, I'm afraid.

Harrington was a salary dump. In the mold of TT.

No I agree, but for this year and next year, he'll be very helpful, and hopefully, for his sake, a lot of good teams will be attracted to him.

Why some players can do things and others cannot? Hmm...
I guess because not only hands and legs are involved but some brain too. Or is it?

What takes more energy rebounding running the floor and setting 70 drag screen a game, or not rebounding and camp out at the three and shoot a bad percentage. When Lee goes out of the game everything is one on one and no ball movement. It takes skill to pick and roll catch the ball and score have you seen what happens when they throw Jeffires the ball on a roll

Don't the Knicks get too confused when they try to do too much? I think if they all have specialties and can compliment each others, then why touch it? I don't know if that applies to the newest team we have now and we are winning more lately, so maybe it's working the way it is now.

Although, if he could pick and roll more often, it would be an added bonus (weapon).

He plays on the perimeter or trys to create his own shot. I don't think it has anything to do with Duhon. I am sure he would love if Harrington set a pick and then broke to the basket.

Players and teams that come to mind that could do that pick and roll stuff to near perfection were people like the Lakers and Bastan of the 80's, michael and the bulls of the 90's. If I'm not mistaken, isn't Tony Parker and the Spurs pretty good pick and rolls?

Lee has the best hands & is the best finisher on this team by far... Al has a more 1 on 1 style game, but he's still a very useful player in the right role... as long as we don't rely on him to be the #1 option on every play, he's very good... also, he has to try & stay away from the "I have to carry this team" mentality that got him into some bad habits a few games back... as long as he stays w/in the flow he's fine... same goes for Nate.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

That pretty much nails it on Al.
