Jared is head and shoulders better than the last NBA draftee from Marist Rik Smits. Jared was surrounded by mediocre talent at best, he should have played at UCONN, Duke or NC and would have easily been a 1st round pick. He lead Div 1 in assists for 2 years in a row on a perimeter shooting team w/ no low post threat(the 7′ center thought he was a 2 guard more dangerous from 3 than the paint). The only other real threat on the team was the 2 guard who ran hot & cold. You could see that Jared was holding back and often choosing NOT to pass because he saw turnover on the other end. The Knicks are smart enough to let this guy develop and become what he could be for them.

would add that he would be great as a change of pace guy running a fast break offence with lee, balk robinson wilson and morris, tremendous speed reasonable rebounding and great finishers

JARED is an extremely gifted passer. It is interesting that he also lead his team in rebounding. As he is a short gu with short arms and not a great jumper, he must have picked up his boards with anticipation. Playing at marist, he saw fewer nba level guys and it may take a while for himto get used to the speed of the game and gain nba level strength Most points take some time to develop and hopefully the knicks will give him the time. Would hopefully send him overseas so he gets pt, and have him come back next year

Look, Jared Jordan can play. I live right by Marist and he was a very good player. I don’t understand how you can average 17 points a game and be a “unrealiable shooter”. he works the court in every way possible. You’ll be sprised on how he passes the ball and can find the open man. I won’t be suprised if he makes the team, he likes to suprise people. Just watch and you’ll fall in love with the guy

“whether or not it?s affected anything, it?s unbelievably dull to discuss.”

The opening of training camp is boring to discuss? Maybe in San Antonio where everybody shows up on time and in perfect shape with no controversy at all…

But I’d say that day 1 in NY was anything but dull.

Z – Now I’m very curious if the league will suspend Isiah & fine him and/or the organization.

Jamal noticeably thicker, Z-Bo & Curry thinner?

“I just don?t see what this has to do with the season. It?s different if Isiah/Marbury is suspended or worse. But until then it all just speculation. If this wasn?t a sex scandal and was an accounting scandal then I don?t think it?d be getting a quarter of the attention the media is giving it. What can I say, I?m not a rubbernecker.” -KnickerBlogger last week.

KB–

I think that the trial has officially affected the season.

The team opens camp without a coach. Start practice without anyone to run it. Isiah’s $13 million a year acquisition admits to being out of shape. The PG has decided winning isn’t everything (which he at least said it was, even if he didn’t really believe it in the past).

Training camp is finally here and you’re still discussing PERs and Wows.

There is an actual Knick related issue here. For the second season in a row a legal battle has distracted the team from training camp. For the second year in a row the team has major pieces to put together in training camp to avoid another 6-13 start. I think that guity verdict or not (and the guilty verdict does serve to, if nothing else, keep this thing going on not only through the damages hearing, but through the appeals process all together), there are potentially serious detriments to the season because of Dolan, Isiah, Mills, Marbury, and the bunch of them that is no longer just a gossipy car wreck to rubberneck at.

“Thomas was just found guilty of sexual harrassment by a jury of his peers.”

how did they manage to find 12 other guys who were also former All-Star PGs and are currently mediocre basketball GM/coaches? impressive…
