Why are you still doubting? 6 games in a row buddy! I dont think hes is doubting so much as erring on the side of caution. At the moment the kid is a sensation and all credit to him, but theres been lots of players who have If you look closer alot of the things he is able to do come about from people underestimating him which is silly hes done it 6 games in a row, hes obviously good enough, strong on the drive, not lightning fast but deceptively enough and hes riding on the biggest confidence of his life which means he can make the clutch play. Additionally the schedule is so heavy teams just dont prepare like they usually can, defense in general is atrocious really. The stats will tell you that dont take my word for it. He isnt particularly superior in any particular department but hes above average at everything (cept maybe distribution) which is great dont get me wrong. what needs to be seen is how he does with greater exposure to him and teams tighten up in the playoffs (provided and hopefully if the knicks get there) wether he can keep it up. I personally am starting to believe and I would like to but im still a bit iffy considering the quality of opponent it hasnt exactly been \the best of defenses in a below par defensive season. And now the bullseye is on him it makes a massive difference once teams have extensive film to work with. They had some close losses to the Bulls and Celtics with Melo and Amare and he didnt get anyyyy game time (what like 6 mins?) This was right before LinSanity began. If they hadnt gotten hurt Im sure 90 percent of the people here wouldnt know who he is. But thats life you take your chances when you get them so no foul there either. Now how he works with them remains to be seen aswell. It may work well, it may not. I dont see him as a past first pg contrary to what people have been saying and he wont get the same touches either. (a view that I am simply echoing at this point) but his ability to drive and the need for help D (against most teams anyway at the moment) also means if his passing is good enough there will be passes to be made. People have short memories though so if he fades he fades and if he doesnt gratz we got a star. The knicks could use a good season. Funny thing is im pretty much summing whatevers probably already been said. I mean its crazy, if you look at the first few posts in this thread no ones giving him a nickels worth of a chance. Full 180 after 6 games against less than quality opposition is to quick. edit: fixed the poor choice of words, edit: Also yea the three was the right call, he clearly has the range and he was being shown to much. | ||

Yeah he had some out of control drives to the basket against Toronto and got caught a couple of times. But not a good finisher?? Hell no. He made an unbelievable amount of shots and layups aorund the hoop in his last 6 games. It's actually one of his greatest strengths. | ||

but props to him nonetheless. his story is just amazing. and he can make such smart team-oriented plays with only 2 years under his belt! As an okc fan, i envy the knicks for having him instead of westbrook. im too greedy lolol | ||
