Just saying, Novack is the better three point shooter, but Copeland may be better at everything else by a wider margin than the gap between his three and Novacks.

He can post, draw fouls, run the pick and roll, better at defense and rebounding too.

Novack has a 4 million dollar deal, Camby has a 4 million dollar deal, could get a nice roll player for 8million in trades...... just saying.

No, Novak is still one of the best shooters in the NBA. Having them both is a nice problem to have

novak isnt the same as last year. Team have figured him out. copeland is great to have because he can score inside and outside i'd rather him get minutes he has earned it

Novak is automatic and proven. Copeland is 29 yr old rookie.

to be fair novak has been very inconsistent. copeland has played well every time his number is called

Novak has played multiple seasons. Copeland could have an epic fall off. Copeland is still unknown.

True, it's still too soon to really judge, but so far I'm very impressed by Copeland.

Not saying I'd want to trade Camby & Novak, but if a REALLY good offer was available I'd be forced to think about.

I'm just saying. And we know Copeland can score, the question is can he do it as much as Novack does.

Because it's no question that Copeland does everything else better on the floor.

How great is it that the Knicks found this guy and he is playing for the rookie undrafted minimum? Knicks did a great job of spanning the globe to come up with players despite not having draft picks or cap space.

If the knicks went this route, it would only make sense to trade for a big man who is a very good rebounder. I still think Camby can be that player but the knicks could be hesitant to make any deal while it's going well for fear of messing with team chemistry.

Definitely. What if we could get Andy V from Cleveland??? Or Milsap from Utah??? We wouldn't be better with Copeland filling Novacks Offensive threat off the bench roll and one of those guys???

Just saying.

How many points did Wallace score of Copeland??? Did Deron just see lunch when Copeland was switched on him???

I think this is something the coaches might have to look at as a bench scorer off the bench, who gives you more Novack or Copeland.

This is a great article on how Cope became a Knick. Allan Houston is already paying off as a front office guy.

Figured out? That would mean that his numbers should be way down from last year...which they are not.
