some landry fields education for you guys who dont follow west coast ball and wonder why the knicks picked him

llperez, I have nothing against fields as I mentioned in the other thread, but the Knicks have wings. They needed guard play more than anything. Though Landry Fields as of now is a Knick, I am a fan of his.

I’d much rather take Lance Stephenson.

first of all i don´t dislike landry fields like you may have thought reading my previous posts.
second is i knew the guy although i wasn´t watching him a ton so maybe you just know him better so i just hope your right.

the thing just is in my opinon the pick makes zero sence for NY:
– i think his upside is limited and as poor as the knicks roster looks right know i would be looking to draft for talent
– second is that you had i think better players left on the board especially Lawal. i have mixed feelings about stephenson because i think there is much more hype than skill at this ponit. same goes for ebanks but i think drafting 38,39 you take the risk especially if you need talent.
-third is that i didn´t hear of any team being very high on either of the knicks choices so you might have bought them cheap from someone picking later or even get them undraftet if you really wanted him

for those three reasons i think the knicks did a terrible job drafting…

but i really like you presenting fields a bit because i was maybe a bit to hard on the guy i admit…

i dont see how u pass on ebanks and stepheson and alabi though

possibly right i just think it has a lot to do with expected upside. remember ATL taking Marvin Williams? he put up pretty poor numbers but was thought to have a big upside so he got hyped and people knew him…

all about the hype that comes with talent i guess.

but i think its pretty hard to figure out how stats translate to the nba. remember morrison being a great scorer his last year?

they should have taken lance he will be a better pro then feilds and he can play the PG,SG and SF if asked he is a better ball handler then everyone on the knicks and he can pass the ball really well being from NY i have seen a bunch of his games and he is a fan favorite here and would have been a great fit for them but the KNICKS never fail they picked andy rountins who was i think projected as undrafted and landry fields who will probably be a poor mans wilson chandler, every year i drift farther and farther from the knicks because we have the dumbest front office aside from the timberwolves

Fields may not have the upside of lance stephenson but he produced big time in the PAC-10 for 4 years

I rather that they have got a nice point gaurd like Mikhail Torrance from alabama he was a nice fit. I dont get the knicks, andy rautins is a fa landry fields is a FA. Dan antonio not a smart man, but he does have a crap load of shooters and I see where he is going with this. 3 point mania no defense, or still thinking he can get lebron james and they will have a lot of shooters around him which makes sense, BUT FORGET THAT GO WITH THE BEST AVAILABLE TALENT… I rather have chosen stanley robinson and marques blakely over these two.

Fields may have put up big numbers in college, but in pros i don’t think he’ll be very effective. There were also a couple of guys who the Knicks passed on, who could have been more effective than Fields.
