Felton is a average starting PG however, Felton is not a finisher or closer.
I like Felton b/c our future PG-Douglas dont need the pressure of being a
starter when he is already an above average closer. I also like Felton b/c our
future SG rookie Landry Fields is getting a big taste of his duties as a NBA SG
alongside of PG-Felton (rather than a well develope 2nd season Douglas).
The backcourt tandem of Douglas & Fields are learning quickly to be winners,
their time will come.
Our biggest problem with Felton is our headcoach Dantoni trying to make
him into "Steve Nash", like he tried to do the previous 2 seasons with Duhon.
Felton 5 seasons with the Bobcats prove when it come to picking numbers as
the the Top-10 starting PG, Felton is a # 6 (six). The only way I could imagine
Felton improving to a # 7 is by reducing his playingtime minutes from 35 mpg
to 28 to 30 mpg (the less pressure the better Felton performance).
Our
headcoach suppose to know how to use a 4 guard rotation in the first half of
each game. But he dont!
Dantoni refuse to take Felton out of the game to insert PG-Toney Douglas as
our 6th-Man on the roster. Felton has not started all 6 games well (another Duhon)
and needed to be replace after the first 6 minutes of the first quarter
in several games. There is another bad move from our head coach that need
to be fixed fast, the meshing of Felton & Mason, and the meshing of Felton &
Walker. Rookie Landry Fields can not hold down the SG spot by himself. Plus
Douglas cant be coming in every game as the SG to cover and defend all the
guards taking advantage of Felton. The Knicks won 3 games all on the
strength of Douglas & Fields defensive pressure in the backcourt, Felton may
have been in the lineup but his presence wasnt felt on either end of the court.
We been WEAK at the SG position for to many seasons, we should be working
hard at designing a couple of plays for Walker or Mason at the SG spot for 18
to 20 mpg (other than hailing up 3-ball shots :crossfingers
