Would like to see a bit more shooting consistency.

His defense looked a bit better lately.

If this guy could only keep this up the rest of his career.... The way things are running is how it always should have been. Guys would have developed better throughout the season

We can draft well halfway decent mildy promisingly again! Maybe this is the start of a new Knicks trend!

Allan Houston. very similar games. Houston would put the ball on the floor like he was attacking the rim and pull up and bury those mid range shots. THjr isnt as strong as H2O was, but he's more athletic. I see a lot of flashes of a young Houston and thats a good thing... he was a great scorer

I don't see Allan Houston because Allan could pass and also post up.

I still see Rolando Blackman and Cuttino Mobley. Regardless bro, this kid is on the right track. He has the motor and killer instinct to get better. That gene passed along from his dad. There is no denying that

THjr also doesn't seem to have that innate ability to almost always disappear/evaporate for long stretches in the second half of games, or does no one remember that about H20?

yeah Houston would be quite invisible for long stretches and at the end of games he'd have 20pts and we'd be like when did he do that? 25pts one night and 8pts the next with the same impact, lol.....I remember...I have the medical bills to back it up

I definitely remember that all too well. As much as i loved Houston, no one pulled disappearing acts like he did.

Yup, fourth quarters weren't his strong suit. Its why that runner against Miami in the playoffs was such a big deal. THJ relishes big game moments, Houston shied away from too many.

If he gets very good at being a defender, he is an all star.
Guess that isn't so hard to believe, lots of guys fly under the radar, but to do this in his first year so far, wow!
I think his defense will get better with more muscle (and experience of course.) He is a smart guy and will adjust. Surprised his defense isn't better considering his pedigree though...
