But instead well pick a no name guy who could have been available lower. I still try to keep hope, but this is the kind of thing that pushes me towards not caring about the knicks anymore.
the only thing im thinking with renaldo balkman is that his name sounds like rolando blackman, maybe isiah got confused, lets hope this guy is as good as blackman.
Unless this guy comes in and geta All Defensive team honors their is no way Isiah Thomas can justify picking Renaldo Balkman at 20. He was not on anyone's board going earlier than the mid=30's.
im just gonna assume youve never watched uconn play, im a big uconn fan, ive watched almost ever game the past 2 years. he may be fat, but he can play.
I think anybody available would have been a more justifiable pick than renaldo balkman cuz no other team was checking for dude, so the knicks couldve still gotten him at 29
it made no sense to take marcus williams because we got 5 guys who got point gaurds attributes. im not sayin mardy collins is better then marcus williams but mardy collins can help the knicks more then marcus williams because mardy collins is 6'6, he can play defense, he can gaurd multiple positions due to his size and you know he's goin to be tough because he played for jon chaney. and if its true that marcus williams isnt in shape to play im even more glad they didnt take him because thats the last thing they need. with the season the knicks just had they need players with good character and good work ethic and guys who are going to bus there asses. we got a lot of talent on the team now we need guys that plays defense and are tougher player and thats what the knicks got out of this draft. as a knicks fan if u cant appreciate what they did then u really cant appreciate nothin.
