3-For-1: Knicks Scouting Report, and the Suns v. 76ers Report

Nate Robinson looked like Nate. Same flashy style of play and gifted ability on offense. Even though he’s not a great defender, he might have the most lateral quickness I’ve ever seen lol. Just thought I’d say that. / Agreed and he almost caught a crazy windmill putback that was after the wistle

Jared Jeffries bites…he’s not that good at anything in particular, but he did shoot better than he usually does I guess. He missed an open layup, were he looked real unathletic because he couldn’t decide whether to dunk or lay it in. Made me laugh lol. / Come on he is actually somewhat of a threat from the perimeter now, much much improved, and he’s still a great defender

Harrington was OK, but he doesn’t do much outside of looking for his own shot. They should trade him I think./ i think he’s a good scorer, not great and he is still selfish

Wilson Chandler has a bright future. He can do alot of everything on the floor and is a nice athlete. Needs to work on his handle a little, but it’s not too bad at all./ agreed

Chris Duhon just isn’t going to cut it at starting PG, and neither is rookie Toney Douglas anytime soon. Neither are huge threats to score, and the half-court offense isn’t that smooth with them. /agreed

Gallinari was not very good. C’mon! I made a bold prediction that you’d lead the Knicks in scoring this year…he looked particualarly bad defensively./ Oh No, dude played like 15 min’s, hell be just fine, although he did play bad D, he should guard 4’s in the NBA

Jordan Hill was OK, but he needs more strength. He might become a building block though in the future as he shows some nice flashes./ i don’t know, he has me befuddled, i wonder why he was drafted in the 1st round sometimes

David Lee played his crowd-pleasing game. Got boards and scored, but he still needs a jumper. It would make him a hard,hard player to defend./The Jumper is getting there

Oh and just to throw this in there, lighten up on Young the dude is a YOUNG player

Looks like that article about Dalembert had a some validity to it after all lol

Young could become a better player than Iggy. Why not?

YOung can defintely become better than igoudala, just some people are what we call “fanboys”…. hence the name – identity on this site… Thads very young, and improving every yr.. If you take iggys offensive repetoire at the same age, the comparison is a joke.. Thads MUCH better than iggy as the same age..

i dont think young will be better then iggy..of course he has more potenial because he younger..i see youngs career going something like deng without the injuries..iggy is just more athletic strong and more well rounded..and just because someone calls thing like they see it doesnt mean they are being hard on someone or dont like them, they are just telling the truth from what the player has shown

Iggy has so many skills in when he came into the League but Young could become a better scorer but to be better than Iggy, He has to shore up his defense, get better handles and become a pretty good passer. Those are some tough things to add at this level and also he may not ever get to use all this in the line up they have.

Iggy, in the game verses the Knicks, Brand did work on offense. He got a lot of early touches and showed his great post game and mid-range shot. He’d be good catching and shooting more, but he like to hold the ball before making a decision. Could be early season, but he’ll be fine by regular season.

The Knicks have good players in Lee, Nate, Harrington, and Chandler. The latter two need to get their shots together because they are way off as of now. Gallo could be better if he gets some strength and aggressiveness. He plays way too passive. Hill definitely has potential, but he definitely plays like a rookie. He looks like he’s catching up to the speed of the game, and gets caught ball watching too much. But when he plays with confidence, he’s a force on the boards, especially offensive, shows nice touch and good footwork. Need to get stronger. And Douglass is a great defender, but he’s turnover prone and has no 3 point range.

thats a fair assesment in my eyes.. iggy defintely more well rounded, thad can become better scorer.. I watch every single sixers gm, so its evident to me..

iggy lst time i said thad can definitely be a better scorer than iggy, and u said no.. Right now iggy is better all around player, but thad has tools to exceed that.. Just watch and see… Thads so much more fluid on offense, unless iggy is going to whole nothing looks right, and dude has HORRIBLE form.. Thad has one of sweetest strokes on the tm.. So we shall wait and see, but again take iggys #’s while at the same age, and it shows what i been telling u for days now. Thads progressing quicker than iggy was at same age.. Thad also came into the LG at 19 (as 2nd youngest player in lg that yr to KD)…

is one of the most versatile players in the league 6’6 Pg-SG-SF
he’s a mini Lebron
20+5+5

Thad is a better pure scorer anytime he touches the ball it should be going up (sweet stroke)
but until he gets a better pull up game (ala Carmelo both 6’7.5) Thad won’t come close to scraping his ceiling

i don’t see it happening eeither because Carmelo came into the league more refined post game, more weight than Thaddeus, better handle IDK we’ll have to wait and see I guess

nahhh, noooooo way you overrate Igoudala toooo much. Serious threat from deep? Lou Will, Kapono, and Young will shoot better from deep than Igoudala

35%+ ?You do realize that is hard for even a very good shooter to eclipse?

35% is very average for the NBA, i wouldnt say below average, but definetly not an elite %

35% is very average for the NBA, i wouldnt say below average, but definetly not an elite %

Iguodala shot .354% as a sophomore in the NBA..
He can definetly do it .

35% is solid, but it depends on what type of shots you are taking too. Guys like Kobe, Lebron or wade shooting 35% is pretty damn good considering the number of 3’s they take and the difficulty of shots late in the clock and what not. If you don’t have to force very many 3’s and they are mostly spot up 3’s while open, then 35% is not too impressive.
