Oh and Harry Douglas, Toney's older brother, is an Atlanta Hawk. Impressed with how he carried himself in the interview as well as Toney's parents during the first game pre-game. Seems Toney's family is tight and intelligent. That's a good sign.

saw that and thought the same.

Cosmic - Harry Douglas is an Atlanta Falcons wide receiver

Keep Warren Carter around for his ability to score and rebound.

Harry Douglas Sr has a master plan for his family that has been in place for years.

I meant Falcon LOL I was just thinking basketball.

Seems like an intense, tight, and very intelligent family. I think that's a major plus.

Although, we kinda thought that about Frye... but I think Douglas is an entirely different animal. I like the purchase of the pick and the selection it was used on. I think this kid has a LEGIT shot here.
....
I honestly would dump Sene and keep Carter and see what he has to offer.

No Ahearn in sight, good

The Apple Does Not Fall Far From The Tree

Cosmic - back at you. The word "upside" is sometimes thrown around without knowing where "upside" comes from, or what it really means. I would submit that "upside" is one by-product of having parents who love and support you. For that reason, and the reason he can also play a lick, Toney will learn the NBA game in incremental steps and continue to learn throughout the season.

Nothing spectacular, but like his parents - solid.

So what are we looking at here? An Earl Watson? Jamaal Tinsley? ---- Derek Fisher? Bobby Jackson?

LOL at us going down in flames here at the end. It doesn't seem to matter the venue, does it, we're so good at falling apart it's unreal.

The Answer Man Never Makes Comparisons, Except For The Video Man

Q. Cosmic - So what are we looking at here? An Earl Watson? Jamaal Tinsley? ---- Derek Fisher? Bobby Jackson?

A. Since his parents are old school, The Answer Man is going out on an old school limb and respectfully submits an old school name - Henry Bibby.

LOL, I'm 36 years old. Haven't had the pleasure to know Henry Bibby outside of telecasters brining him up during games that Mike Bibby played in.

*shrugs*

But I heard he was good.

I think skita is the one guy that deserves to be brought to camp with a serious shot at making the roster. I think he has played good team ball--his game looks mature---his 3 point shot is there---he blocked some shots---showed some driving abilities--he just look like a solid 10-11 spot roster guy who can come in at times to create mismatches and give us some quality diversified depth.

I think Morris Almond had a grand opportunity 4 days ago and started off very well in that first game and went down hill. I think it's going to be up to the Knicks if they want to bring him to camp--I dont know if he showed enough variety and his main guns werent good enough to justify anything other than consideration. Maybe he gets with the big club after working on some things and sees a bit more space--or maybe the Knicks need to look around at other more versatile players. Costner looked pretty diversified and had a nice 3 point stroke and a strong body. James Johnson looks like a young Paul Pierce.
