Why so hard on the Rook? He actually had surgery this year and the setbacks have slowed his progress down. Just be glad that he's showing a little something cuz we need as many of our prospects to develop as we can get. We have like ZERO F'n patience with this fan base now. If our rookies and prospects aren't ballin day one "get em out of here". Come on guys let's put things in some kind of damned perspective.

I didn't think he approached the game as a rook at the beginning..I think he got way ahead of himself shooting threes, and not not looking to play defense..He was trying to be little Melo...Why is a rook wearing sleeves??..

He is the perfect illustration on why you need a good coach..The talent is there and he needed guidance..If I was his coach, I would ride him to play defense and drive the lane from day one...He wouldn't be allowed to take as many threes as he takes...Some players needs to be coached...

What offensive skill set?

I think he could be a pretty good jump shooter--he's got good enough form, I've seen him hit 3s, jumpers on the baseline. And if you play him to tight, I've seen him put the ball on the floor and get to the basket. Decent defensive player, he can rebound, he's got grit and toughness. If he came up with 1 or 2 post moves and further developed his jumper and take to the basket, he could be a very serviceable offensive player, something better than Lance Thomas let's say...just my 2 cents.

He could be. But his lack of IQ is a bit worrying sometimes. When he is defended by oppenent 3's, instead of using his size and bullying him to get to the basket, he takes a jab step then takes a jumpshot. He also makes uneeded fouls on the other end aswell. He can also use some handles aswell. For now, he is just a really good player to have in a fast break.

You are right but when you are having a season like the Knicks are havingyou should give time to players like Acy to see if they will learn over time. Why give time to players who have consistently sucked for years, Jason/bargs?

Agreed, goes to show how I don't understand what Fisher is doing at this point.
