I just don't see how you pass on rebounding and defense for just defense. They are acting like they have a plethora of big men that can rebound. If the biggest worry is STAT playing center, well, then, who plays the 5 now?

It's not like keeping Stoudemire at the 4 is magically solving an issue: rebounding.

And who gives a crap about positioning anyway? Where does it say a team has to have a 5? Why not two 4s? The problem last year is the Knicks put 3s and Jeffries at the 5 spot. A guy like Faried could play the 5. So we have a matchup problem against Howard. Big whoop. That's 4 games all season.

And Walsh turns to D'Antoni to ask him who he wants? This is a mess of a franchise.

A 6'6" center??? is this NCAA basketball

This is what i think he will bring to the table and i really like the pick. A 6-6 point guard that can defend the Dwayne Wade's of the world and can lock the perimiter down on defense and kill it in transition, compliments what the knicks need. They don't need another 6'9" player which was the other option. Plus I trust Walsh. People boo'd him when he picked Chuck Pearson, and he got death threats when he picked Reggie Miller. If Donnie thinks this kid can shoot and can contribute right away, then i trust him.

Oh wow...damn

Ric Bucher of ESPN calls the Knicks draft day losers because Iman Shumpert won't crack the rotation and Harrellson won't make the roster.

Not a bad thing, Bucher knows as little about the game of basketball as any analyst out there.

Damn that **** was real. Easy way to get fans on your side - show you want to be here. Doesn't matter the team - he's more excited to play here than I've seen other draftees excited to play with their teams.

You think Pringles will play a cat who actually plays defense and doesn't shoot threes, lol?

Hi Quality stuff bro!

Re: The 2011 New York Knicks: The Rebirth

When the Phoenix Suns took Markieff Morris with the 13th pick they did so knowing their other target, Iman Shumpert, would not likely wear a purple and orange uniform anytime soon.

Or will he.

On Friday Sports 620 KTAR's John Gambadoro, on the Gambo and Ash show, brought up an interesting reason for the New York Knicks selecting Shumpert with the 17th pick.

"There's something fishy about this pick, there just is," Gambadoro said. "Mike D'Antoni just drafted a player who can't shoot and plays defense. Not something Mike really likes."

True that. During the head coach's time in Phoenix, no shot equaled no shot to play for D'Antoni.

"I don't think there's any doubt, in my mind, and I spoke with some people in the NBA...that pick may very well have been made to somehow, some way, down the road land Steve Nash in a Knicks uniform," Gambadoro added. "Because the Knicks now have a piece that the Phoenix Suns really, really, really want.

"Really want."

It would not be shocking to learn the Knicks made their choice with an eye towards making a deal, and if the Suns did elect to move Nash the Knicks, with D'Antoni and Amare Stoudemire, would seem like a great fit.

Would the Suns be willing to not only trade the face of their franchise, but also let him create a little "Suns East" in the process? Watching Nash win that elusive championship with D'Antoni and Amare would have to be a little painful, but the threat of Nash leaving once his contract expires is very real.

And now that the Knicks have a guy the Suns have real interest in they may decide to get something in return rather than lose their best player for nothing.
