Who the heck is this guy?
So I was just doing my usual glimpsing of stats and I was looking at 3 point attempts. This is what led to me to the guy I'm about to mention. Can someone tell me who is currently the second leading scorer of the New York Knicks? Mind you, the Knicks have gone in the wrong direction since the days of battles with MJ, and Isiah Thomas made them sink further. Due to all this, I can understand if you can't even name their big names, but if you follow NBA, you would recognize most of the names. However, the second leading scorer is a player by the name of Danilo Gallinari. Apparently, he was on the Knicks last year, and since I don't really follow the Knicks, I didn't recognize him. Looking at his stats he is obviously a great shooter, but in 3 games so far he is shooting 50% from 3's. Some may that is nice, but early in the season many player's percentages are high. But he is averaging 12 attempts, meaning he is averaging 6 made 3's a game! That is pretty crazy which is why he is averaging 22.7 points a game. If he keeps this up he should be in the running for Most Improved. He is currently +16.6 in his points per game from last year. Its really early still, so we'll see how his average is at the end of the season. By the way, he is also 6ft 10.

The Knick are holding out for that 2010 cap, but I highly doubt they'll find up landing any GOOD free agent. They'll most likely give up BIG money to someone like Amare Stoudamire and wind up with another Allan Houston like mess.
Quite possible. Amare could def go there since Mike D'Antoni is there. I think they will fare better than years past, because I think they have somewhat more competent people than years ago (aka Isiah Thomas). They have Donnie Walsh as GM who has proven to be a good GM.
