There are a whole lot of other wings that are better than Thanasis. Now if you guarantee me Giannis will become a knick then I am all for him being Chris Smith 2.0

We need our guys to start producing for the big show now. A dream would be for Thanasis to find a spot on the team and actually find minutes in the rotation.

I've never seen the potential in him (or Early for the matter). I think that Thansis is what he is at this point, which is an athlete with the right name because of his brother's exploits. Beyond that, I don't really see an actual basketball player. I still can't forget him picking up 10 fouls in one summer league game, lol. |

He was a nice project and he no doubt tried hard. Its not like other teams called him up either. We rooted for him and hoped for the best.
If he can get paid nice, he should move on and be happy and play. Gotta be able to shoot in the NBA. |

if he could hit that jumper consistently he would be a good NBA player. He hasn't been able too and thus the dleague. Its pretty much that simple.

Now if you guarantee me Giannis will become a knick then I am all for him being Chris Smith 2.0 his shot actually has looked much better (form). If he can hit threes then he can be pretty solid. I know, big IF. The knicks would have to know something or see something in practice that gives them a feeling that he can be a decent 3 point shooter. If not then he is not worth much. Defensive specialist are not worth what they used to be worth. so here is what phil is thinking ....

If Andre Iguodala can make it in the NBA as a starter, this guy at least should be a rotational player.

The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

I'd like to see the Knicks bring him up. We've carried some pretty useless guys at the end of the bench. Thanasis may never be a great 3pt shooter, but he can bring energy and hustle off the bench. Sometimes that's just what the doctor ordered.

Him and Porzingis together would be sick. |

He definitely improved this past season. I think he is good enough to hold down a roster spot and would minimally be a great practice player.CrushAlot wrote:I think the Knicks will sign him.

Hmm thinking about it, I wonder if Early going into his 3rd yr can find his game under JH style of play.

Was thinking how much better is Roberson than Thanasis? One is getting a shot the other isn't.
