New York Knicks’ Andy Rautins Ready to Prove Doubters Wrong in Rookie Season 2010 NBA Draft, Andy Rautins, Landry Fields, Mike D'antoni, NBA Atlantic, New York, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
From the moment he was drafted, there have been questions surrounding New York Knicks rookie Andy Rautins. Having not been on many experts’ NBA draft boards, there were even doubts that Rautins had an NBA future ahead of him at all. An underwhelming summer league session, in which he shot 4-for-14 from behind the arc, did not help his cause. Nevertheless, the (usually) sharp-shooting marksman from Syracuse entered Knicks training camp last week with a positive attitude and a seemingly clean slate. The Knicks obviously have faith in the local product, after making him and Stanford wing Landry Fields arguably the most talked ...

2010 NBA Draft: Knicks Did the Right Thing 2010 NBA Draft, Andy Rautins, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
There is one thing all Knicks fans should have wanted to see their team do on the night of the 2010 NBA Draft. Do the right thing! Doing the right thing is exactly what the Knicks did and, somewhere, filmmaker and longtime Knicks fan Spike Lee is smiling. But how exactly did New York do the right thing by drafting Syracuse point guard Andy Rautins and Stanford small forward Landry Fields 38th and 39th overall in the second round? The Knicks simply took the best players available, considering that their favorites, Nevada point guard Armon Johnson and New Mexico forward Darrington ...

NBA Trade Rumors: Has Wilson Chandler Become Expendable for the New York Knicks? 2010 NBA Draft, Best Slideshows - Team, Danilo Gallinari, Darren Collison, Eddy Curry, Emeka Okafor, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion, Wilson Chandler | Comments Off
The Knicks have a tremendous need for a big man yet failed to capitalize by selecting one in the NBA draft. After selecting Andy Rautins of Syracuse with the No. 38 overall pick, the team instead selected the freakishly athletic wingman, Landry Fields, out of Stanford. Potentially adding Fields to the plethora of wingmen the Knicks currently have on the roster poses the question: Who will be the odd man out? The likely answer is Wilson Chandler. As the Knicks look to beef up their roster to attract the summer’s best free agents, Chandler could become key trade bait in order to ...

NBA Draft Report Card: Grading the New York Knicks at the 2010 NBA Draft 2010 NBA Draft, Andy Rautins, Best Slideshows - Team, Landry Fields, Mike D'antoni, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
Although the Knicks did not have a first round draft selection in this year’s draft, there was still hope the team could improve its talented young core with its two second round picks. Instead, the WaMu Theater at Madison Garden groaned with disappointment from Knicks fans scattered all around as their team selected Andy Rautins of Syracuse (38th) and Landry Fields of Stanford (39th). Unfortunately for the Knicks, this draft drew two terrifying parallels to dreadful drafts of years past. At 38, the Knicks were hoping to snag Darington Hobson. As the draft progressed, it appeared that Donnie Walsh did not have to ...

2010 NBA Draft: Will the Knicks Fill Their Point Guard Void? 2010 NBA Draft, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion | Comments Off
The unique offense run by New York Knicks’ head coach Mike D’Antoni heavily relies upon solid point guard play. Over the past two seasons, Chris Duhon has attempted to fill this important role. However, as an average, half-court oriented point, he was never exactly suited for that position. Nevertheless, Duhon’s contract is up, and he will likely not be returning for the 2010-11 season. Currently, Toney Douglas is the only lead guard on the Knicks roster. He showed some flashes of brilliance last season, yet they were too few for him to be seriously considered as ...

2010 NBA Draft: New York Knicks Needs NBA-Ready Players 2010 NBA Draft, Mike D'antoni, NBA, New York Knicks | Comments Off
For many New York Knicks fans the much anticipated off-season of 2010 begins July 1st. However, what the Knickerbockers do at the June 24th NBA Draft could prove to be huge in what happens with free agency. While there is not a crazy buzz surrounding the Knicks who hold two second round picks (38th and 39th overall) in this draft; the Knickerbockers need to add rotation ready players. Rumors, have already been swirling that General Manager Donnie Walsh will look to trade one of his second round picks along with cash to move into the first round. However, no matter whom ...

NBA Draft Rumors: Is Chris Bosh Headed To the New York Knicks On Draft Night? 2010 NBA Draft, chris bosh, David Lee, LeBron James, NBA, New York Knicks, Opinion, Richard Hamilton, Tony Parker | Comments Off
As the Knicks prepare to woo some of the league’s best players via free agency this summer, Chris Bosh is certainly very close to the top of the priority list (behind LeBron James, of course). In fact, the plan is to sign two talents to maximum contracts. LeBron and Bosh teaming up in orange and blue is the Knicks’ ultimate pipedream. However, Bosh’s comments on the SNY Network’s “The Wheelhouse” may lead fans to believe that he could get traded to the Knicks before then, specifically, on draft night. That’s right: draft night. When asked about his summer plans, Bosh replied, “"We'll see ...

NBA Atlantic Division Offseason: What Moves Need To Be Made 2010 NBA Draft, Boston Celtics, NBA, New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Preview/Prediction, Toronto Raptors | Comments Off
The NBA Atlantic Division is coming off a season where all but one of it's teams lost more games than they did in the 2008-2009 season. It's a Division that has nothing going for itself outside of the Boston Celtics. That's sad when one considers the history of the teams in it. Teams like the New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Nets are some of the more recognizable franchises to die hard NBA fans. They also have some of the best fan bases in the NBA... especially when they are winning. With that said. Only the Celtics have done much ...
