Knicks · Jerome Jordan: The next Antonio Davis? (page 2)

I don't think he has completed a bad season as I can assure you that playing in the Serbian league for a NCAA player as his first professional experience is quite complicated.He is now an overall better player than he was last year, but in Europe isn't paid much attention to gym work. And he needs to bulk up.

Why did we draft him? He has shown more than Zoubek, Alabi, Richards, Orton.Parakhouski has put up decent numbers in Latvian league,which is weaker than the Serbian one, but he isn't capable of running the floor. Jeff Foote is a rotation player of a second Spanish division team.Varnado has also played in Italian second league. I don't think that we made any mistake about drafting this guy and I would give him the opportunity to, at least, be tested for Nba level.

Seems like he has upside to at least be a solid rotation player, if not starting center someday. I hope it works out.

Jerome Jordan need some basic skill refinement and hopefully he got that in Europe. I don't see why he can't be abother gy like Mozgov. Looks like he was very efficient shooting the ball in limited opportunity. He is coming up a very steep learning curve, but with good coaching he seems to have enough skills to contribute.

Haven't we collectively decided that he wouldn't get the necessary support in our current coaching environment? As a matter of fact, I'm challenged to think of any big man on our team that grew under the tutelage of , et al.
