We give up a 12 - 0 run to finish the quarter and suddenly we are down 15 at the half. To top things off, the trivia question just reminded us of how after drafting Ewing in 1985, we followed it up by taking Kenny 'Sky' Walker 5th overall in 1986 (instead of Ron Harper who went 6th). Last thing we need is a reminder of how badly this franchise could screw up a lottery pick.
Our top draft pick this season, shooting 31%, 25% from 3. He has bust written all over him.West Coast Tank in full effect... I think the rest of the season is an experiment for Fish to see who plays well together... the lineup and the play of every single Knick is in a constant state of flux. Jason Smith had a decent run, now he's sucking. Cole Aldrich had a decent run, now he hardly plays. Cleanthony Early getting more minutes than anyone, and can't score. Langston Galloway, a clutch shooter, doesn't get consistent time on the court.
mo ping pong balls, mo balls!

He'll be 24 next month so he should be further ahead in development than a 19 year old freshman. The Knicks do need to find out about him, I think they have to make a decison this Oct. whether to pick up his 3rd yr. option so play him the rest of the season to see if he can put up game numbers like yesterday.Yeah, Early's offensive game has been pretty rough this year, but last night in 32 minutes he did put up a line of 10 points, 7 boards, 5 assists, and a block. He went almost a month without hitting a 3 point shot, although he did hit one last night. If he can be a guy who can do a little bit of everything and minimize taking bad shots, he might be okay with some development in year 2. At the moment though, I agree he seems like a bust.
