I haven't watched their games but I have checked their box scores. Both guys have been putting up numbers. Downs is another one of those guys that was very highly rated coming out of high school and then had a disappointing/non spectacular college career. I think he is tall and long for the two guard position. I don't know a lot about Jackson but it makes sense that they go with a young guy versus the vet they had at the point earlier in the year. Also, Leslie has been putting up big numbers. Leslie is a freak athelete and was one of the top rated prospects in his class coming out of high school. Hopefully he can become consistent and make it with the big club. He seems like the type of player that would excel in a running system. Would love to see the Knicks have a second unit that really pushed the ball.

Leslie hasn't started in a while. His numbers are up and down and pretty lack luster. He's can't shoot the 3 at all either.

Would love to see the Knicks have a second unit that really pushed the ball. Downs seems like a good spot up three-point shooter and good finisher. Not sure why he didn't score more in college. I don't know if he's a pro, but at least the roster is getting stocked with solid players. Jackson is a waterbug. But you gotta worry about a 5'9" guy who can't shoot the three. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

Downs surprised me with the splitting of the defense in the clip and his athleticism. I wish I could catch a game one day.

Yeah, it's hard to play a wing who shoot.s 20 percent from three. The plus side is that he's averaging nearly a block and a steal in about 25 minutes a game. He'd have a spot on a NBA roster if he could just hit a corner three. Reminds me of a young Trevor Ariza. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more.

I have tried watching and usually make it for 10 minutes. Also, I think Chris smith hasn't gotten any minutes in the past couple of games.

Another big game for Leslie. Bayhawks lost and Downs and Jackson didn't have great box score numbers but Leslie went off for 31 pts tonight. Have to wonder if Leslie will get a call up at some point. I think Leslie and Metta were supposed to be the small forwards for the big line up.
