The beauty, Chip- would have been in touting Beverly over Douglas AT THE TIME -

or in at least poo-pooing rather than championing Douglas.

I recall folks on the forum seeing Tony as a potential lead guard of sorts steal for us.  My skepticism was immediate - I recall liking Maynor and Casspi - who were gone - and Budinger, Les Hudson and Calathes, who were not. 

Douglas did at least help get us Camby, even if as just salary filler

As for the top of that draft, while defending Hill to the hilt, I also liked DeRozen and Hansbrough  (went later) - as well as Rubiio and Curry (went earlier) - and hated Thabeet and Flynn, who were no peaches where picked.

Recall I disliked Sweetney

Shall we go on?

You think he is more than an average lead guard?

Wasnt rated anywhere near an 8 pick.  And please - if yiou were behind a deal DOWN - get behind the idea when I propose it  in other years - including 2019 - or at least give consideration.

PPS: Read a very interesting analysis of Coach Miller, which credited him with big improvements in the Knicks by virtue of simplifying our defensive scheme, which you may observe in that Robinson is not picking up cheap fouls when complex switching schemes find him out on the perimeter getting juked by smaller quicker players, while the rim goes undefended.  Likewise Frank. All of that switching flummoxed the Knicks, let to confusion, blown assignments, and a flurry of open threes.


Heh

Didn't I?

Stats speak volumes. 

Cough. 

Yes, I think Jrue is a top tier lead guard.

Never a word about not making a run at Chris Paul, whose PER as an ANCIENT lead guard is better than any year Jrue has ever had.  Channing Fucking Frye.  Rolando Fucking Balkman.  Wilson Fucking Chandler - blah blahhhhhhh

That's right - the great Holiday never above 20 PER.  Average at best.  But yes - one of his best years last season before the current regression (which you will blame on his cast - save it)

Using the 22 year old Ball - who shot 8 less times and scored 11 less points last year than Holiday (other stats similar) - was a good one.

Clyde:  "Jones can only dunk"

30 seconds later he swishes a 3

Actually a real treat tonight - seeing our "yute" while also getting a glimpse of one of the real, real good NBA teams.  Pull up a chair, check your expectations, enjoy.

Knox just has zero clue how to defend other than head up.

May have to drop Barrett in my fantasy league - that's how sad it has gotten.
