The one positive you could say about Isiah was that he was always pretty good in the draft. Whether it was Channing Frye, Marcus Camby or Tracy McGrady, Isiah seemed to do pretty well in the draft. Apparently he now wants to ruin the last positive part of his reputation because how else can you explain drafting Renaldo Balkman with the 20th pick?
Maybe They Meant To Pick Rolando Blackman?
More of the Same
And the hits just keep on coming for the Knicks. The Knicks dropped another game last night against the Denver Nuggets, 95-86, finishing their 6-game road trip and dropping their record to a grand 2-7. At least they get to return to Madison Square Garden tomorrow. Stephon Marbury, who has been asked to be more of a team player in Larry Brown's offense, struggled again, scoring only 9 points while contributing 9 assists. Starbury was pulled with 6:31 left in the game and the Knicks trailing by 13 points. To add inslult to injury, former Knick Marcus Camby scored 20 points and added 12 rebounds
Knicks Get Big
Isiah Thomas knew who he wanted with the eighth pick, the only question was whether or not he would get him. Luckily for Thomas, he was there and the Knicks selected Channing Frye, a move that immediately upgrades their non-existent frontcourt. Frye has a reputation of being a soft player, but Gothamist thinks he can be a Marcus Camby type player, hopefully without all the injuries.
