Can you say perfect starting SG? Pure shooter, PNR player, versatile scorer, 20 ppg potential, etc.
Davis
Smith
Carmelo
Amare
Chandler
Douglas/Bibby
Shumpert
Fields/Walker
Harrelson
Jeffries
So over imaginary rosters that look cute on paper. JR Smith is as combustible as they come, which is not always a good thing. As the Knicks are in audition mode, and have no right to be choosey beggars in the backcourt, JR can bring his talents to New York.
Individual stats mean nothing at this point because the roles are subject to change and egos MUST be checked at the glass partions leading from the new MSG locker room.
There is only ONE question: Does JR Smith makes the guys around him better, or worse?
