Have to agree with this, but it has been fun to watch him use the opportunity Fisher is giving him.

Teams are going to challenge him to shoot a jumper- it will be interesting to see if he has any consistency.

I thought he had a strange follow-through on a couple of his shots- at 26, I would think that it would be hard to fine tune it.

Nice defender, so far. He has kind of caught me by surprise.

Seems to buy into the offensive scheme.

His presence on the team makes it doubtful that the Knicks will bring up Thanasis, IMO.

Fighting for an end of the bench spot next season- so far he is earning a contract for the rest of this season.

+1 I agree with you a lot on shot consistancy, one thing I tend to do is to watch the way the players shoot and to see if it is consistant or not, I noticed he did something different about 2-4 times like one time he would step into his shot for some reason and another team he'd look like he is doing a better version of a rashard Lewis. Nevertheless, he put in work tonight and it paid off.

i don't mind sticking out the year to help the towns/okafor cause tho!

He played well last night. Truth be told, I wouldn't have resigned him after he was initially waived. Funny how you mention Thomas and Galloway in the same sentence -- I see both on the same level -- both are halfway decent young players but I just feel there were better fish in the sea for us to choose from. Having said that, he's far from terrible. I remember posting about this guy in the NBA thread weeks back when he was still with Oklahoma City. KD was out and this guy was doing a nice job in his place. The particular game I remember watching he was impressive.. Looks pretty long, fairly athletic and he can hit from the mid-range. Would I have liked to see us acquire a more dynamic/higher upside forwards like a JaMychal Green or a Quincy Miller? You bet. Or a big 2G like a Kevin Murphy or Orlando Johnson? Yes. Or a better PG over Galloway in Bryce Cotton? Yes. The one guy I would've kept around from that trade we made with Cleveland/Ok. City was C Alex Kirk -- turns out he's the only one Phil didn't want back so go figure. And how about Austin Daye, recently cut by the Spurs to make room for JaMychal Green? I think a case can be made that he might make a little more sense than Lance Thomas...Nothing we can do now -- the Knicks made their moves and appear set with their roster for the time being. Let's see what guys like Galloway and Lance Thomas can continue to do for us. Maybe I'm wrong and there's higher upside with each guy than I thought.

Yeah, I'd much rather read more Melo bashing threads
