Wake me up after amare & tyson develop low post moves and learn hiw to pass. They have been in the league for over a decade. I'm more interested in seeing Amare play defense. We dont need scoring from Tyson
I thought some of you might have known this. Some thought he could be a better Lamar Odom type. He had shooting skills but was not encouraged to use it in the NBA.
Draft info: Strengths: Super talented shot-blocker posses all that is needed for a great defensive player lateral quickness, explosiveness, long arms, and excellent timing. Feels comfortable facing the basket can hit jump shots from about 16 feet out and has even shown the ability to hit the 3-point shot. Super athletic runs the floor like a gazelle and can hop out the gym with the best of them Above average free throw shooter for someone of his size .... Moves around the lane well and has a feathery touch around the basket .... Has some descent passing ability rarely gets trapped into a double team ..... Biggest thing going for him is that he's a athletic 7-footer who has loads of untapped potential.

It started in Chicago because they Thought Eddy would be the next Shaq and wanted a defensive still next to him. They never allowed him to expand his game or, if he tried he never had the chance to implement anything having to share the blocks with Eddy all those years. After that they became a truly perimeter team with the like of Gordon and Co wings jumpers left and right until he was moved.
After he really fell off my radar too Dallas.

and New York isn't stupid like Orlando who often forgot to feed their monster on the post. Melo and Howard is a much more balanced team but, I don't see this happening without Linn as a sweetener.
Is there anyone on this team we can't hate? Why do we follow ex-Knick careers with fondess, happiness, flowers and kissy poo but our own team it seems is liable to be shat upon at the very first opportunity.
New York, New York. We talk about talkers.

See that is what I remembered of him coming out of H.S. I just think people get stuck in roles if never asked to do more.
Do you want Tyson to post up? We barely can get enough post ups for Amare when Melo is taking his time setting things up.

this. it's like wanting Ibaka to post up, no reason to want that.
Don't believe its realistic to expect Chandler to become a real post player at this point in his career, but I believe it wouldn't be a bad idea for Tyson to have an up and under move he can go to once in a while.
One thing I'd really Chandler to work on (as well as Melo and Stat) are his technical foul calls. Melo was ranked second, Tyson third, and Stat seventh. I know they got some bad calls this season but those techs aren't helping, and at times they have hurt the team.

Don't need post ups - hitting a shot, any shot outside of 2 feet would be really really nice
