PS - in order to prove how right I am about these whiners, I'll be hopping in my Delorean & coming back with proof

Folks may have emphasized his positives a bit too much, but I don't think the general consensus around here is that Shumpert was the one and only perfect pick for us at 17.

Singleton, by the way, is almost like a larger version of Shumpert, in some ways, and even less developed offensively.

Do the Knicks need size? Especially from an above average defender? With his size and length, Singleton could guard 1-4. I would argue that Singleton has more to offer offensively as he shoots better from mid to long range (37% vs 27% from 3pt) and is a better finisher at 6'9''.

Isles my good man, as usual you have missed the point. I'm sure you did mention Singleton in some long gone obscure thread but the larger issue is that if the Knicks would've picked him you would've done a 180 & figured out some reason to hate him because it seems like you are physically incapable of happiness when it pertains to the New York Knicks. I & many others had hoped you would seek therapy & come back to the board a well man, after your banishment but alas I see that is not the case. I love sparring w/you but it gets old & if following the team doesn't give you pleasure than why do it???

PS - don't pick a fight with someone wittier & more verbose than you, that's sort of like Joe the Plumber challenging Obama to a debate...just a thought. By all means feel free to disregard as you do with most common sense posted here

Just wondering why you would start a post calling other posters out and then accuse one of those posters of picking a fight with you.

I support Action. I wrote the same thing, except I used 'stupidity' to describe them and it got locked. I shouldn't have used that term but my point remains:

One of those threads you linked to was trashing the Rautins pick. Do you think that was an over reaction?

Your thread?

Yeah, it was. Because it was trashing Fields too. Two players you've never seen play before that draft. Judging by how Fields developed, maybe it would make more sense to be less judgmental right off the bat - especially for players that you know very little about.
