The New York Knicks sign guard Anthony Roberson

alleyoop — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 20:07:29 +0000

The Knicks have signed guard Anthony Roberson to a 2-year contract. Roberson last played in the NBA in 2006-07 with the Golden State Warriors. He has played in 36 games (1 start) in his NBA career and he has averaged 8.8 minutes, 4.1 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game. He will likely be a backup at shooting guard this season for the Knicks but he probably won’t play a whole lot.

The New York Knicks reportedly sign point guard Chris Duhon

The Knicks have reportedly signed free agent point guard Chris Duhon to a 2-year, $12 million dollar contract. I have to wonder if the Knicks are smoking something in the front office as Duhon has never been good enough to hold a starting job in the NBA. It appears as if the Knicks will likely try to get rid of Stephon Marbury and make Duhon the starter at point guard and that is a recipe for disaster. Duhon played in 66 games (18 starts) with the Bulls last season and he averaged 22.6 minutes, 5.8 points, 1.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. Duhon has now played in 300 games (159 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 25.8 minutes, 6.9 points, 2.4 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game. But, Duhon is not a good shooter as he has only hit 38.7% of his field goal attempts in his NBA career. This was another poor move for the Knicks if they are planning on starting Duhon.

1. (6) Danilo Gallinari, F

The Knicks were roundly booed at Madison Square Garden when the pick of Danilo Gallinari was announced to the crowd. Gallinari is a young guy at 19 years old but new coach Mike D’Antoni likes his game which is all that seemed to count to the Knicks’ front office. Gallinari has played in 118 games (86 starts) in his pro career in the Italian League and he has averaged 12.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game. It will be interesting to see how well that Gallinari’s game projects to the NBA. This was a very risky pick for the Knicks.

The New York Knicks might have something with Wilson Chandler

The Knicks didn’t know what they had in forward Wilson Chandler until he started playing near the end of the season. Chandler played in 35 games (16 starts) for the Knicks this season and he averaged 19.6 minutes, 7.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game. The Knicks will no doubt let Chandler play more next season as they found out that he has some game.

Starting center Eddy Curry will miss the remainder of the season for the New York Knicks

alleyoop — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 06:09:33 +0000

Things just keep on getting worse for the Knicks this season. Eddy Curry will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to his right knee. He played in 59 games (58 starts) for the Knicks this season and he averaged 13.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. Curry shot 54.6% from the floor but only 62.3% from the free throw line. David Lee should benefit with more minutes due to Curry’s injury.

The Knicks somehow won on Wednesday Night despite getting outrebounded 51-42 by the Heat. Jamal Crawford led the way for the Knicks in this game with 23 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. Zach Randolph also had a really solid game with 19 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists. Nate Robinson pitched in with 17 points and 4 rebounds. The Knicks are now 19-46 on the season.

Stephon Marbury officially out for the season

alleyoop — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 13:53:03 +0000

The Knicks will be without Stephon Marbury for the remainder of the season due to his bum ankle. He only played in 24 games (19 starts) for the Knicks this season and he averaged 33.5 minutes, 13.9 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game. This could be a blessing in disguise for the Knicks who will give young Nate Robinson the minutes he deserves.
