His rebounding has caught me by surprise. He is much more of a willing passer than he was at the start of the year. He is getting most of his offense within the principles of the triangle now. He drives to the hoop a lot more than advertised. He might not be athletic enough to finish at the hoop like a Wroten but he makes up for that by having a killer floater. He is obviously not a shutdown defender but his defensive reputation is greatly overblown. I seriously think he would flourish on our team as a scoring guard off the bench. Imagine Jimmer shooting all those wide open shots that Sasha has been missing.

He has scored 73pts in his last 2 games while playing within the system.

We have guys associated with the Knicks watching him every day during games and in practice...have to figure that if they feel he can help the team he'll be signed to a 10 day contract.

If Jimmer was 6'6" with the skills set that he possesses, he would be in the NBA. A slow footed 6'2" SG is not that appealing; specifically if he is not a lockdown defender

Read this article about the reason that Thanasis got the 10 day contract cause they bring up some great points on why he got called up over the guys like Jimmer who were putting up the bigger stats than Thumpo. It's a good read.

Whatever Phil does I was hoping he could add some scoring to this bench! Just seems like there are too many games we lose cuz we need just a bit more scoring. Don't know if Jimmer is the answer but I think we need another SCORER in the mix.

If the knicks make a move at the deadline maybe they bring a player or two up from Westchester. At some point you would think a team would sign Jimmer to a 10 day.

Very few teams seem to have gone into the D League for help. There's some strategy I must be missing as to why Phil is letting this team struggle along without any scoring off the bench.

Phil needs to make a decision with both Seraphin and Lou. Those two spots need to be occupied by younger and more talented players. Specifically, because I see him retaining Sasha for the remainder of the year.

Yeah gotta admit they're the least effective players. Those are 2 spots that could be put to better use but what will Phil do? He seems to clearly be working to make a deal but with not much to offer deals are tough to make.
