Playing to their strengths

Kirk had a good game against the lakers, but has really stuggled against all other teams

Ndour and Greek Freak fighing for last spot. I think the Knicks sign Thanasis and NDour goes over seas with a roster spot promise next year....

I thought they had 2 spots open?

I think Ledo makes the team. After that, 2 spots left.

Like I said before, if they are planning to keep Ledo they need to be on the phone with Brian Shaw and ask him what he did with Stephenson.

Did Shaw end up on Kerr's staff?

Idk, I haven't herd anything and I would think he'd have been on the sideline in Vegas if he was with them?

You figure Ledo's got a spot locked up and I agree--Ndour's played his way onto the team, esp. if he continues to bring it in TC/pre-season. One spot left after that -- what are you thinking? Kirk, Galdikas (hopefully they bring him in for TC and we get to see him in some pre-season action), Elliot Williams??

I thought he looked slow, but he really did not get much of a chance in the SL, and sometimes being tentative on the court makes you look slower than you really are..

I just figure that Fisher bases playing time on what they show in practice, so Bray simply did not earn the time.

Good shooter and passer, but as I said, he seems to lack the quickness for the NBA.

Early is a poor defender, ball handler and passer - also very low b-ball IQ.

Early ball handling has really improved this summer league as well as his passing. His defense is up and down . One game it is bad and then one game it is really good. I think his defense will become more consistent since Fisher has made it clear to him that th only way he will get playing time is through defense.
