On this current team?......

Fav prospect?........ Or McGrady Or Lee?

Explain why

I'll say Gallo.....

Wanted him since before we drafted him and has shown if given the shot attempts he could be a star!!

His desire to be a great defender shows me his heart and passion for the game!!.... He still is very
young and all he needs is for the NBA game to slow down for him..(that can only happen with time)
Sick 3 point stroke..... Ability to put it on the floor with either hand ..... Does not mind banging
even though he is told to be a perimeter player....

His all around skills will be only get better as he gets stronger ( looks like he is getting bigger)
His confidence is that of a star already...

Tied for second I must say Walker and Toney look very promising....

KNICKS on the way UP!!!

Did not him want in the draft. Wanted Demar. but I adopted him. He is showing hearts, pride and skills. Suddenly it is ok to yap with melo and back it up.
Gallinari played with a look in his eye more fiery than he’s displayed all season, but tried to downplay what almost looked like a game of one-on-one at times, reiterating that he wants the challenge of defending players like Anthony “to understand at which point I am and what I can do to improve myself.”

But he eventually acknowledged, yes, this turned into a challenge because, “I was having the feeling that every time we were playing defense, they were going to him.

“I didn’t really think about going on offense at him. I was just thinking about running and being even more aggressive on the offensive end.”

“We were just competing,” said Anthony, who missed his last three shots. “It just happened like that tonight that we were going back and forth.”

Back and forth verbally, too. Anthony said the Knicks’ youngster held his own, saying, “I was kind of surprised.”

That, though, is why he said, “I like him. I like him a lot. I like him as a player and as a person. …
“He’s gotten a lot better from when he first came in. I think a lot of people turned their heads on him and I think he’s coming along, big time.”

A free agent in summer 2011, Anthony could choose to play with Gallinari, but deferred questions about that, saying in a hail of double-negatives, “I don’t know what’s going to happen. But I don’t see why nobody wouldn’t want to play here in New York.”

And what Gallinari showed Tuesday made for a decent recruiting pitch.

He outscored Anthony, 17-12, during the third quarter after missing his first five shots and after the Knicks surrendered the game’s first 12 points.

He then missed his first three fourth-quarter attempts, all threes, before driving the right baseline with that fiery look in his eye for what turned into a three-point play that gave the Knicks a nine-point lead with 5:25 to play.

Denver got that lead down to one twice afterward, but after the first time, Anthony rattled a runner in-and-out as he glided right-to-left across the lane, as he rattled a subsequent left baseline drive following Douglas’ shot.

And after the final buzzer sounded, Anthony and Gallinari exchanged much kinder words than they did during the game.

“I’m watching him from afar,” Anthony said he told Gallinari. “I love what he’s doing.”

“Keep up the good work,” Gallinari said Anthony told him. “And keep balling.”

Gallo is 1. Douglas is 2. 2 used to be Wil, but he seems to be developing a durability issue at the end of seasons despite being built like a tank.

I can't say I have a favorite player (I'd trade any player on this team for the right deal) but I'm warming up to Toney Douglas. He plays like an old-school New York Knicks guard.

Oh no you di-int. Al? Really? Yikes, Marv. That's almost unbelievable. But to each his own.

For me, Gallo and TD, for reasons already stated, including heart, tenacity, desire, teamwork, and attitude. They're winners who play both sides of the court. I like Lee, too, but I have a problem with his softness on D. Makes me suspect him of caring more about his stats than about winning.

That's what I'm wondering.....Derozen wasn't in Gallo's draft class.

Gallo
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Yeah, but it's the sloppy, nasty kinda love. Mofo gots game, but he is like a well-meaning oaf who scores a lot. And like Lee, his defense is sometimes non-existent. But he can ball, no doubt.

Gallo is the team's most talented player and it's been awesome watching him scratch the surface. It's been fun watching Lee hit his potential.

But my favorite is Toney. He's a winner, he's tenacious, and he's just a hell of a lot of fun to watch

I like Lee but can't see him worth the 10 million slot he will take up from the cap......

He has only get better each year and has passion on offense and the boards...

He kills on the D though..... Gives up more then he produces I think!! Would love him at 5 or 6 million a year though
but wont happen..... He bitches to the refs too much too!!

Wilson I like even more........ He can ball.... Little non-existent at times but a great talent!
Can score with the best of them when he wants too.... Mid range game is sick and so is his ability
to get to the rack...... Play's good D at times too

Biggest knock against him for me though is his drive and passion.......WTF duke you are in the
NBA why do you seem like you dont want to even be there?..... Like damn wish I was playing C-low
with my boys then dunking on Garnett!

If he had heart and passion he would def be right there with Gallo as my favorite but 3 years
now he still looks passive...... Him for Rubio would be a great trade for both sides!! I think he
will continue to only get better but if we get Lebron Will has no place here!!

22 y/0 putting up 16 pts 6 rebounds and two assists ...... Reminds me of young Roy

Al can score...... Has passion ..... Not scared nor timid!!..... Can SCORE!!

After that he offers nothing!! .... Never passes rarely do you see him making a good decision
even though alot of his shots fall..... Always kills momentum!!... TO prone in crunch time!!
He is anticlutch!!..... He can score and has heart but belongs in NJ not NY....

Like him and hate him at the same time!!

KNICKS on the way UP!!!

think ur confusing Gallo for Jordan Hill here... Demar was taken in a different draft.

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Wilson is my favorite Knick followed by Toney Douglas... just like how those kids go about their business w/o trying to draw attention to themselves & they're both humble & willing to learn

i really like Gallo too cuz kid has some moxy & wants to be the best player he can possibly be, how can u not like those things in a guy?

i like D Lee but dude frustrates me when he's not playing any D, & Al makes me wanna love the guy one game then pisses me off the other when he's playing out of control

there's only 1 player on this team that i really dislike & that's Curry... can't stand that lazy, unmotivated fugger.

Douglas - then Gallo - then Lee.

But I don't exactly like any one of the three that much more than the other.
