you can fault donnie for whiffing on 2 picks. knicks had the least talent in the league last year, and had TWO first round draft selections, and BOTH are getting DNP-CDs with largely the same roster intact. hill can't get time in THIS front court, you've honestly got to be kidding me. jennings is PERFECT for this offense, i don't care about ramon sessions, jennings was, is, and will be a better pick than jordan hill. the guy doesn't seem to give a damn, watch him on the bench during games.
also, duhon is playing, what, like 45 minutes a game. he's going to burn out again by the all-star break, and the knicks are going to have a top-5 pick which they are going to send utah. (thanks isiah, but regardless). we don't even have a backup pointguard right now, the one walsh picked sits on the bench in his warmups next to hill, who is a bust. i dont think its too early, the guy was a mess in summer league, he cant get time on THIS team with really no rebounders other than david lee. jennings has been a stud in summer league, a stud so far this season, he's everything the knicks needed in a point guard (deep 3 point range, excellent passer, good ball-handler, can play up-tempo).
bad pick, no doubt about it.
and, to go back to an earlier point, duhon is playing at an absurd pace, just like last year. all you need to do is google "chris duhon partying girls" to see that he doesn't take great care of himself, he will be on the injured reserve by february at the rate he's playing at. d'antoni played him 50 minutes the other night against the bobcats!!! toney D couldn't get in just to spell him at the end of quarters! pathetic drafting by walsh. jennings and dejuan blair could be on this team contributing right now. gallinari, whatever, the guy can shoot i will still concede that is up in the air, i think he can be a good scorer, obviously guys like randolph and lopez were available, at least gallo looks like he can play. hill, no dice, i honestly don't think the guys got any skill or heart and jennings CAN play.
