Cleanthony Early (Forward, New York Knicks. 11.5 ppg, 4.8 rpg, 1.3 apg): One of six members of Derek Fisher’s summer league team that has a legit shot at being a rotation player come regular season, Early left us with a positive impression. Like two of his predecessors in David Lee and Landry Fields, Early was consistently in the right place at the right time. His confidence manifests itself both in his willingness to communicate and be heard on the floor and in his propensity to attempt to control the game by playing at a breakneck pace. We love his athleticism and floor-running ability, but would like to see him develop one elite-level skill to help him stick in an NBA rotation.

Early has a real nice shot off the dribble, I hope he develops that. Sometimes the triangle wont be effective, we need players who can get a good look on their own.

Eric Moreland was probably the quiet unknown shining star. He really looked like a version of a younger Marcus Camby--no real video on him but hes 6-10ish plus long and athletic.

Glad to see Justin Brownlee get a mention. The dude can play. He just needs a chance.

Agree. I wish the Knicks had brought him back to camp.

while it is normally the man with the numbers who gets the credit, there are a great many whose contributions go largely overlooked. With the NBA naming their All-NBA Summer League First and Second Teams, we pay homage to a few of the other players who caught our eyes for one reason or another.

I don't think Early will have 1 elite level skill....but a lot of above average skills is just as good. And don't sleep on his handles. They are there, he just needs to build up the confidence to use them. I know my handles came on very late (26)....But when they did, I was unstoppable. Early is that kind of potential, because he can jump, shoot and drive to the hoop....Plus become a lock down defender, with passion and energy that fuels the entire team.

Strength and handles is the key for him.

Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland. The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

I would sign up for that. Remember there was a stretch Lamar could legit play and guard 4 positions. It would be nice to draft a few of these type of glue guys.. rather then overpaying the ones from other teams or trading picks to get them
