Ok.....most of your reply was talking about how good Lawson is/will be, which is a point that I supported you on in my first reply. So dont see how I am "crying about anything"
I am not saying Hill will be a better player than Lawson, but I am saying Hill will be a better player than what he is showing so far. Is he the 8th best rookie in the league after 10 games, no! But Charlie V. was better than Deron Williams after 10 games, Damon Stoudimire was better than Antonio McDyess after a full season and who had the better career.....think about it
Plus rememeber a few years back when people were crying about us not drafting Marcus Williams after he had an impressive start to his rookie season...where is he now?.....I guess it is important for me to make sure you know that I am not comparing Williams to Lawson, I dont want 3000 word reply contrasting Lawson and Williams games! My point is...rookie stats mean jack
Now Jr., true foolishness is not me hoping for the best out of the player we drafted, but rather sitting back and talking shouldve, couldve,wouldve.
Lawson wasnt drafted by the Knicks
Lawson is not a Knick
And will never be a Knick
Now the Rasheed Wallace comparison is totally accurate considering I am not comparing how they play, but rather the fact that Rasheed was a rookie PF who struggled at first too, get it? And for the record scouts consider Hill to be a "talented prospect" too. You act as if drafting Hill was like drafting a no name player like Balkman. Early Mock drafts had him as high as 4 or 5
Also you still have not at all made sense of your argument that there is a lot of pressure on a backup PG who is playing behind an elite PG.....
I mean could anyone really tell off he top of their head the backups for Chris Paul, Deron Williams,Jason Kidd, Nash, or even Nelson? No! because their role is minimal; come in play some spot minutes and try to weather the storm and not make too many blunders while the starting PG is sitting.....the ideal role for a rookie PG!
Try Again on your points if you can.
Mad random stuff.
Iono man.
Hill seems a lot of like Chandler to me.
Raw with a low ceiling.
But its too early to doubt him on what he can do individually.
Fact is, drafting him over Lawson will always be a failure.
Lawson's contributions to the NBA will vastly has a more vital impact than Hill can ever have.
Point guards > Big men.
Mock drafts are mock drafts. Before the draft Hill wasn't even a first round pick. Similar to Frye who came out of no where and ended up in the lottery.
You need to do your research and realize how highly talented and a special prospect Rasheed Wallace was. Jordan Hill is no where near that class man.
Man have you played sports at all in your life?
Saying theres no stress for a rookie playing behind an all star PG....expectations and standards are HIGH, and its a first impression.
I just think you're trying to be stubborn.
Lets see you play in that position and see how stress free you are.
Lawson would be better off on a shit team like the Knicks where he can play more FREE as a starter.
Example is my man Carlos Arroyo.
Shit bench player, but a godly starter.
When he starts, he's more loose and isn't afraid to play without mistakes.
On the bench, he's more tense and caution of error. Its just a different role with a different mindset, especially at PG.
Rookie stats don't mean shit, right...
IONO, I just can't really **** with what you're talking about right now, it makes no sense. Hill as talented as Jordan? Lawson not ready to start on a NBA team, especially the Knicks?
My man is 5th on the team in scoring and almost has an assist to turnover ratio as good as Billups.
Paul, Lawson is an actually point guard who's efficient at scoring and don't waste opportunities or take bad shots.
Jennings and Curry are chuckers.
I REPEAT, not drafting Lawson will fail the Knicks for years to come.
I'm always right about these things.
BTW, just because Lawson is a rookie doesn't mean he can't start.
Look at Brandon Jennings and Tyreke Evans.
And Lawson is more experienced and skilled and NBA ready than both of those guys.
Hey New New....check this out for your flava.
The Bucks are 5-2
The Kings are 5-4
Both .500 teams, teams expected to finish below .500
Both lead by Rookie PG's, Jennings and Evans.
Its not about being a rookie, its about what you bring to the table.
Guys like Jennings, Evans, Lawson bring more to the table than bum ass starters like Duhon.
The new trend in the NBA is young PG's
Rose
Paul
Williams
Rondo
Westbrook
Brooks
Harris
Chalmers
Evans
Jennings
Lawson
Augustin
Stuckey
Lou Will
Conley
Barea
Maynor(starter now)
Collison(starter now)
Lawson could of been on this list.
But Knicks don't like to follow trends and remain on the bottom.
Now Lawson is liting it up in Denver to assist Denver on top of the West.
