Its time for UK to start flexing its muscle. We should write in a vote for Fields every day and see what happens.

Tonight, Fields, in 22 mins, had one less rebound (10) than the entire starting front court combined (Amare, Gallo and Chandler).
Not sure what that says for our front court.

Fields is awesome. He fills up a lot of the gaps in our lineup- total glue guy. He definitely has a Shane Battier or Doug Christie quality about him.

If he can become more consistent with his jump shot he can be considered.

Knowing what kind of kid he is, I expect to see him make the kind of progression Lee made, so next year you will see a drastically improved J, IMO.

he spots up for 3 on that weakside corner on most plays. Everytime the shot goes up he charges the basket where he gets a put back, and offensive board or takes a swipe at the ball in the air. Its a volume effort. It doesnt yield results most times, but he does it SO much that the 5-6 times it works out of the 15-20 he does it turns into 3 rebs, a tip out and a couple put back dunks. Its the raw effort to do it so many times that makes him so good. Most guys would quit bothering after whiffing a few times. Fields keeps doing it until they sleep on him, and every team does

I like Fields and would love for him to make the allstar team. However for some reason the sports writers don't show any love for the Knicks. With the quarter of the season gone Amear is not even in the top ten for mvp. They keep say that we had an easy schedue and now lets see what they do the rest of the month and into Jan 2011.

Fields was a big time scorer at Stanford. Sometimes big time college scorers only become solid NBA scorers (Kurt Thomas anyone?), but Fields probably has another level he can hit.

I remember when Kurt first came and started playing really well. Some of the Knicks were suprised. One of the reports told Larry Johnson that Kurt once led the nation in scoring AND rebounding in the same year. LJ said "what nation was that?"

AKA: Coaches dream

I played with a guy that had no talent, no athletic ability, no skills but would score 20 points a game, grab 8-10 rebounds, dominate the game in the 4th quarter. It was becasue he just didn't care. He didn't care if he missed a shot or got his shot blocked. All he knew was to keep trying. He was relentless. Love those type of players.

I just hope that people will like me

If he can be more consistent with his J, what more can you possibly want from this guy? Such an all-around player

Rookie game sure with some rook of the year considerations but allstar team...... someone please let me have some of what you guys are smoking. He doesn't average enough points are assists!

We keep calling the allstar selections a joke every year well, what would it be if Landry made it.

I love what the kid brings but his not bringing it THAT MUCH

the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between. Bunch of emotionally weak, angst riddled people. I mean, how many times can you argue the same shyt

Its not so much about Landry as it is about the influence of UltimateKnicks.com

If we all vote once a day, every day for Fields as a write in candidate... Who else would do that?

At the end, hopefully Landry has an inordinately large amount of votes for a write-in, and we'll have a measure of how much we can tip the voting scales.

Alan Hahn: Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)

It would require a few hundred thousand votes to get him in there. It would only require 15,000 of us, voting daily to get him 500,000 votes...
