If anything, his lack of work caused his skills (and overall rhythm) to regress.Chandler's still 2 years younger, but he could stand to play a clear role in a winning system in order for his skills to develop in a structured manner. As a Knick, he's played both forward positions as well as SG. Phil Jackson kept things simple for Ariza.
To be clear, I think Ariza today is a much more complete player than Chandler. I think they're currently going down different paths - perhaps Ariza is becoming more like a Pippen... and Chandler is more of a Marion.
Marion Jones???
The thing about Chandler predictions is he is the same guy from the last year of college to this year plus or minus 1 or 2.

So I don't understand what we are waiting for???? If Wilson Chandler plays 32 mins he is going to take 11-13 shots, score 12-14 points, Block about .9 shots, steal about .7, get around 1.5 assist, and 5.5 rebs........... while going to the line about twice a game. Overall an under whelming player getting alot of time to be sub average. I wonder what chandlers numbers would look like if he had to come off the bench with 8-9 shots and only 22 mins per.......... would he even play!!!
