Stat
With Jason Kidd, Felton, Prigioni and maybe Lin...we should not worry about Point guard problems for years to come.
Also...Kidd, Lin and Felton can play minutes at the 2 spot so these guys are versatile.
Now shooting would be an issue if we did not have a PG to orchestrate an offense. From what I have seen from Kidd, Felton, Prigioni, and Lin that should not be a problem because all of these guys have good court vision.
Iso ball is not as much of a problem as people dread because honestly if you have a PG that canbreak down a defense, you have to eventually mix it up and that is where iso ball comes and we all know Melo and Amare are iso nightmares.
Every player compliments each other except for STAT...STAT clogs the paint on offense and if he cant hit an open 12 foot mid range shot, then no one will play him up close and he cant attack and be effective off the dribble
Stat needs to get back his jump shot, he needs to get back that tenacity and aggressiveness that made him such a force in his first year in NY. Felton needs to revive something in Amare and make him remember the player he use to be. Woody can ingrain in the team concept to hustle and rebound more, which I believe he has. STAT needs to be aggressive on the boards. He needs to go for offensive rebounds and score off rebounds.
If STAT can do all of this then he will be the x factor that can make us a championship contending team. People forget how bad he was last season and we still made the playoffs and went 5 games with Miami. We also had no legit PG to even help STAT.
STAT has no excuse....if he does not improve then he has to be traded since having a PG HAS to help him out, if he does not improve then we all know he is just on a free fall decline.
