Knicks should invite Guillermo Diaz, he was one of the best guards in the ACC at the time.

The Knicks should put Eddy Curry and Jerome James in the Summer League. They really need it. My Summer League Starting Lineup:

PG DJ Augustin
SG Wilson Chandler
SF Renaldo Balkman
PF Eddy Curry*
C Jerome James*

Bench: PG Guillermo Diaz SG Mardy Collins, SF Quentin Richardson(yeah, I said it),PF Arizona Reid(this guy can play, I hope the Knicks decide to pick him up by a miracle-he's a small forward, but played as an undersized PF in college),
C Randolph Morris

*Play both of them a minimum of 30 minutes per game.

We MUST invite Gary Forbes to our summer league team.
All Orlando draft camp player and was the greatest scorer to come out of draft camp. He went undrafted.
Shawn James is a SHOT BLOCKER and the best shot blocker in the nation who's an athlete that can shoot the 3. Sign him, he would be perfect in this system.

DeMarcus Nelson and Allan Houston should go. But we really should invite Houston just to see if he can still play

Will this Knick SLT be as devastating as last year Knick SLT with PG-Nate and the 6.8 lineup at SG, SF, and PF, with 6.11 C-Morris rebounds, blocks, and inside scoring?
I doubt it...

Who was the PR kid from Vandy that we had last year? I thought he held his own and he deserves another look

He's alright, but he doesn't have the athleticism to play in the NBA.
The only Ricans who could play in the NBA are Apodaca,(Euro MVP) Arroyo(NBA vet), Barea(Mavericks), Ayuso(one of the best shooters in the world, strong fast guard that can play defense, his weakness is he's a 6"3 SG and lacks ball handling skills), and Vassallo(VT superstar, one of the best scorers/shooters in the ACC)
