Obviously he doesn't have the same sort of game or pedigree and perhaps potential, but dude is still the hottest rookie in the gaaaaAAAAMmmme.

Landry Fields Dad, Steve, once busted Allan Houston's Dad, Wade, in a game of horse, blindfolded... Lefthanded.

Modell's stock was up 817% after the video posted on YouTube.

When he was in the sixth grade Landry Fields gave acting lessons to Tom Hanks.

Landry Fields stopped shooting so Carmelo could touch the ball... and that was only AFTER Carmelo begged Landry to date LaLa's younger sister MiMi as compensation.

The Japanese government has pleaded with Landry to solve the nuclear reactor crisis. Fields promised to get back to them after the playoffs.

John Havlicek has requested an autograph from Landry Fields via Pope Benedict XVI.

Man Houston was a good player... not a star, but a damn good player. Too bad so many people remember the contract over the other stuff.

Bottom line is the Knicks NEED Fields to be a bigtime player, but he's got some things that I think will keep him from ever being anything close to Houston. Slow first step and slow release on that jumper. He has a very hard time keeping people he defends in front of him... time will tell. Hard not to root for him. Downside is he's a productive bench player, which is great in the 2nd round. Upside? I see him as a Matt Barnes.. maybe a Rick Fox? Kind of oversized SG

landry will have a loooong way to go to match the type of offensive player houston was. not many had/have a jump shot as lethal as houston's - when he was on, we called him aqua or H 2 0 - the guy was water. landry may already be better on the defensive side as that wasnt houston's fortee.

Love Landry, but dudes overrated defensively.

Honestly, he may have the physical tools (as did Houston at 6-6' 220) but he's not stopping anyone. Not at this stage anyhow... Houston played nearly 12 minutes less per game his rookie year, behind Lindsey Hunter who was stealing all the PT.

how is he over-rated? Or rather, who is rating and touting him as a defensive dude?

He's a second round rookie who leads the NBA guards in rebounds per minute.

I've seen comments by several people (not just on this site) claiming that he's good defender. It simply isn't the case in my view and I'm not pointing fingers. He rebounds well, sure. But without a center and Amare being an inconsistant rebounder, do you think Landrys numbers are padded to some degree?

Bill Walker has superior range and the ability to finish; imho he still has the higher ceiling.

Well, he IS the Employee of the Month. Damn, am I happy we were able to hang on to him.

He may not be the lethal scorer that Houston is, but at the end of the day he is still a 50% shooter and 40% 3-point shooter. If those numbers can be improved or maintained as he earns a greater role in the offense, we are in excellent shape with him as our starter SG long-term. Many people believe he lacks the tremendous upside, but i think we need to be happy to where he is at in this stage of his career and can only assume he will find ways to get better. I still compare him to the SG version of David Lee in the way that he has a high BBall IQ to improve and maximize his physical tools into a very good player despite the perceived lack of potential.

With better defense, hops, rebounding(for his position) and last but not least, better sense of humor.

I don't see the H20 upside at all. I think the D. Lee comparison is spot on. he's got to develop his handle and become more of a slasher. Also, if hes gonna be a 2, he needs to learn to post guys up, he has a size advantage.

H20 had an amazingly quick release, a ferocious first step, and was nearly impossible to cover. He could get his own shot and make even great defenders look helpless. But he didn't play an ounce of defense and was a liability on that side of the court.

Fields is nowhere near Houston's level yet, but there's a lot to like in his game. He's well-rounded, and with dudes like Melo and Stat on the team, I'd prefer that complimentary role for Fields than a pure shooting guy like Houston.
