I still do not understand who is over hyping this guy
he gets no media press
he gets no recognition from the AP
he gets no talk on nba tv or any headline links on espn.com or nba.com
he has no all star consideration
no most improved consideration
he is not mentioned in any articles through newsday the post the times or the daily news all major new york news papers
during games clyde and breen discuss how he has improved at attacking the basket, which he does, but they never discuss how he is the second coming of any one worth naming.
he is a late first round pick, putting up late first round numbers
explain to me
when and where he gets over hyped
can some one PLEASSSSSSE
post a link or an article or some scouting report that has claimed this man to be an all star or an elite or a future hall of famer, because I am yet to read it
again this is not me de fending wilson chandler
its me trying to understand where we get this over rated thing from
WHOOOOO is over rating him ?
AND DONT respond saying that I am over rating him because
I quote end quote stated that he is a late first round pick putting up late first round numbers, and that is it; I think he is doing what he was drafted to do, fit in. not over rated, not under rated, not over achieving not under achieving; just fitting in as a role player who at 22 is fitting in well enough to start on a losing basketball team.
Knicksonline.com hype this guy up sadly.
Read my first post in the thread, I never bought up ESPN, or all these wacky articles you want, so you google it for yourself. I'm talking about what I stated. Stay on topic.
Your last paragraph makes sense though.
I feel like Chandler is VERY REPLACABLE, and we should use this opportunity of him producing so well for a TRADE, if we don't...we'll mess up just like how we wouldnt trade Curry when he was putting up 18 points a night.
No offense to Chandler, his spot up shooting isn't good and him on a team with LeBron would be a nightmare because Chandler isn't going to do what he'll be doing now in the future because LeBron does the slashing in a million levels above Chandler, so Chandler's "JOB" will be handed to LJ...just saying. I don't like Chandler's future on this team.
Chandler has amazing gliding agility when he drives....very smooth. He's not a physical dude at all, doesnt like contact, but hes good at that. When he doesnt take a lot of threes and get around the close range, he tends to be more efficient.
But thats where it stops with him.
His limits will hurt us more then they will help us, especially if we're giving the guy 35 minutes a game.
Time to get a solid SG who can hit 3's, create and do what Chandler does(which most wings in the NBA can do if given the minutes Chandler get)
Well said.... I'm perfectly fine with Chandler. He's not an All-star or anything but he's a solid contributor, who does his job. He's much better suited as a small forward then a shooting guard but what other options do we have?
Chandler has improved his shot selection, is an above average defender, and a good foul shooter. He'd be a tremendous 4th player or bench player on a good thing. If he continues to develop he can easily be as good as Trevor Ariza. The dudes young and progressing.
Wilson Chandler and his performance on the court our the least of this teams worries.
Got to raise your standards.
First off, Chandler is having a good January/December run.
No doubt.
Chandler can produce.
Thats NICE.
But this is your flaw as a fan.
You guys buy into too quickly in a player.
Chandler has a serious ceiling.
and that ceiling will never allow this team to get the SKY and reach for the stars we want to get to.
Chandler can average 20 and 8 for like 10 games, but realistically speaking don't come back to me with your head up when he falls back to reality.
Don't insist that I'm hoping the worst Chandler.
I just KNOW, I watch the guy play long enough to know where he'll be now, and 5 years from now.
This is what you guys don't get.
Chandler is Chandler.
There is no development, some guys have a high ceiling and others don't.
I really DOUBT Chandler and he hasn't done enough for me to change my perspective on his max potential.
I'm not selling out to 10 games guys. Sorry.
