I'm flattered but I don't (nor does anyone else here) have the impressive track record of accurate predictions that Isles does.
If by accurate you mean always claiming the sky is falling & then the one time a bird shits on his head, hopping up & down and hollering "I told you so, I told you so"

look... he was pick 17 for a reason
Best Case: 6-5 Version Of Kyle Lowry
Worst Case: Keyon DoolingIm thrilled if he can defend the perimeter well this year and be a rotation player. Lets be realistic. He's a defensive guy on a team with (now) one of the league's best frontcourts. He's in a great position to succeed. So is ball hawking Toney D.
Its pick 17. Let be happy with a rotation player. Just being realistic
He had best show at combine out every single PG drafted!
I think switching systems and positions hurt his stock!
Rondo was a later pick and Fields was second round pick!
Iman will shock people this year!

He correctly predicted the sky was falling when no one else did. You're in hopeless denial if you can't see that.

You mean a 17th Pick like Jrue Holiday in 2009 or Danny Granger in 05. Oh wait maybe you meant an old school #17 like Shawn Kemp in 89. I'm sure there were more than a few busts as well but a player is a player & it really doesn't matter if some scouts didn't do their homework & missed the boat.

Bad reasoning. Exceptions occur but they are called exceptions for a reason.
I think Iman is a guy that if he played for a big time college team like Duke, UNC etc. he'd have been rated higher. We caught a break getting this kid, cuz a lot of analysts overlooked this kid. His few flaws are VERY fixable and his strengths are things you wish for in a guard. Size, length, speed, hops, handle, rebounding, hustle and he has a FIRE in his belly. This is the kind of player you want. Walsh wasn't looking at him as a project. He felt he could help much like Fields. We'll see, but from my point of view, I don't see why he can't bring the ball up and get the offense started which is about all many PG's do in this league anyway.
At 6-6 he will have excellent view of the court and should be able to make good decisions of who to give the ball to. I think he'll see the play and make the pass. A lot of his success will be up to MDA and Woodson to get in his head and guide him. It would've been great to have had SL so that they could get him started.

What he did on a daily basis was very similar to what Newt, Palin, Limbaugh & O'Reilly do on a daily basis now. Which is sell fear to people who hope & pray for a good ol days which never really existed for the majority of Americans but hey if thats your truth brother, you are more than welcome to it. Personally im voting for hope, change & a new day for the NY Knicks.

Even his knocks like his jumper ain't as bad as advertised
No one denies his athletic ability for sure!

17 is a traditional sweet spot in the draft.
i'm not demanding Iman be good or anything, but I think he'll be an explosive exciting rotation player to start and could maybe turn into more.
it'd be great if he could hold his own and play 25-30 minutes a night right away. would solve a lot of our guard issues.
Iman can be our next Kirk Snyder.
We traded that pick.
Iman not at practice? Does he even have to or can coaches just watch his youtubes?
I do hope we did not trade him.

he won't be at training camp until he is signed. he won't be signed until Chandler is signed. Chandler won't be signed until Turiaf is traded and Billups is waived.

Knicks first gotta: Trade Turiaf, ax Chauncey, sign Chandler to as much as they can, then sign rookies to their deals.
Just paperwork.

yo it is so good to have Knicks Basketball to argue about again 
THe only issue with Iman is whether this kid can actually play PG. If he can play PG and run the P&R at a better than Toney Douglas level, his size, speed, and defensive ability will make him a solid starter.
