moochie is problably a better scorer and has a scorer's mentality and isn't a good decision maker. While Frank is an excellent floor general who was showing skills on offense before we got Steph, but like I said Frank would be so much better off on another team. Not playing 6min a game behind Stephon. Shandon isn't playing all that bad. I would put Demarr on the roster and deactivate Frank cos we don't need him cos Moochie can play SG while Frank can't cos his shot is off. It doesn't mean Moochie is better than Him. I just hope other teams realize that.

Moochie is more reliable that FWil. In the playoffs, it's not about 'upside' or 'potential.' It's about performance, and with equal time, Moochie is doing more. So he gets the nod.

As for Derrmar, the playoffs are about defense. He has none. Zero. A player that can score 15 and give up 20 is the WORST thing to have on the floor in the postseason. By game two, he'll be exploited everytime he's inserted.

I, for one, trust that the 16 (or how-many-ever) experienced basketbal coaches that the Knicks employ and our Hall of Fame GM know what they're doing when it comes to evaluating talent in practice.

exactly... everyone knows Frank and Dermaar have more talent than Moochie and Shandon, and everyone also knows Frank and DJ are probably part of our future while Moochie and Shandon would be gone for a bag of ball in the offseason, the playoffs is for the veterans. DJ still cant stop anyone and Frank has major issues with TOs. His (barely) 2:1 assist to TO ratio is terrible for PG and keeps him on a short lease.

Tru....thats very well stated. Couldn't agree more.

yea I agree, especially with the part that performance not potential matters most in the playoffs..
