... In Indiana, Isiah Thomas had great success helping Jermaine O'Neal and Ron Artest blossom into stars, and he believes he can help Tim Thomas do the same in New York. "When you make a trade for a player, you always try to imagine how the player would be in your surroundings, in your environment, under your tutelage," Isiah Thomas said. "I'm confident that if Tim is willing to work and willing to listen, we can help him reach the potential that he has." Despite his underachievement, Tim Thomas brings some advantages to the Knicks. He is more athletic than Van Horn, and he is a true small forward who excels in the open court. His running ability should mesh nicely with Marbury. Although not as good an outside shooter as Van Horn, he can get hot from beyond the 3-point arc. Whether Thomas has the mental toughness or the work ethic to reach his potential remains to be seen. |
