can we bring back Jerome Jordan to put him in the D league for more minutes?

hes played 10 Euro and is shooting 70% and looks like the compliments have been very good on his play. I would rather him in the D league getting 40 minutes and working hard at all facets of the game with American strength instructors as well.

where are you seeing the stats?

I don't know how many minutes the dude is getting, but I wanna say a more fundamental-based practice is had in Europe, which is exactly what he needs.

I wish the Knicks would establish their own D league affiliate.

the thing is briggs most of the better undrafted talent goes overseas, thats where the money is, there is no money in the d-league.

We own his rights and I'm not sure if he can play in the D-league then. I thought we might have to sign him, after all, he is not going to make as much money playing in the d-league. And, if we sign him that means we have to let Williams or another player go.

I'd say, it's not happening. I doubt he is that much better than what we saw of him earlier (he wasn't bad, just not ready.)

Earl Barron would help us at center much more imo. (at least now)

In D-League he has to be on the 15 man roster for a maximum of 2 years. Overseas, its like your own little minor league. Simply put, under the current CBA, the Knicks retain his rights as a 2nd rd draft pick as long as he is under a professional contract in a foreign country. If he needs two years of development, it is better to do it over there where he isn't taking up a roster spot or salary cap.
You know I gonna spin wit it
