His usage stats for the last 3 years are very good and somewhat similar although his FG % is rising. That could mean this player is ready to take it to another level.

unless he goes undrafted, we have very little chance of getting him.
And we should avoid Okafor fantasies as we have a real chance of not getting him. In fact, more than likely we don't. We as Knick fans should prepare for getting screwed out the one year we actually sucked AND were unable to trade their pick! |

I'd have to think Hammons has gone way up on several teams radar in the late first round for a rim protector. The upside with Hammons is that's he a solid rebounder and has a good deal of offensive upside. If he comes out I'm sure he will be one of the players on the Knicks radar if the capture a 2 #1

is Jerome Jordan physical abilities and skills right now a comparable talent to AJ Hammonds who is younger with more potential and upside of JJ 2.0
Jerome Jordan has improved his skills, in rebounding/shot blocking, and post moves/scoring/shooting, in addition to his frame/body when we drafted him, which took a couple of years Where as AJ Hammonds is already where JJ is right now, with the potential to improve... |

and that why I am calling him 2.0 and comparing him to the improvements Jordan has made from drafting him and the couple of years, white Hammond is younger with more time to improve/develop
I think both Jordan and Hammond are pretty light on their feet for their size with decent but not impressive athleticism One thing I do notice about Hammond, he doesn't box out and use his body to not give up post position easily, something Jordan actually does, while Hammond relies more on his ability to jump and timing to get the rebound/shot blocking |
