Knicks considering drafting Iman Shumpert at 17????

Some people oppose just for the hell of it.. I've seen some dumbass arguments as to why Singleton is a better pick for us than Iman.

...You think Singleton can guard 1's? Really? Alright, if you say so.

well he did so in college and I know for a fact he can guard Sg's which some of u guys dont think he can but he will.

well I think singleton would of been a great pick up, he could of been are SG... but the 2nd best player available for us was iman. Its not an argment its common sence.

Shumpert at SG allows Landry Fields to fill the 6th man role that our team needs. Singleton has a better offensive game than Shumpert but it's not by much - it's not like we missed out on a future 20 PPG scorer in Singleton (at least, not that we can foresee anyway). You're stretching it by saying Singleton can guard 1's - I'd love to see Singleton guard Rajon Rondo.

Dude, Shumpert should not start... We have a sixth man in Toney. Singleton has guarded 1's. His size and length would give many of the 1s the NBA hissy fits.

But, even more so, he can guard 3's and 2's. He is just a lot more versaitile player. It was just a bad, bad pick. No that I don't think the kids is not viable... I just think it was a hideous pick for which players were on the board.
