Without him wed be dead. No kp. No willy. Think about it. All we have to do the rest of the season is lose and make his job easier. It's the only option at this point.

Wow, what would we have done instead? No other scout could have done this or anything else good?
Phil hired him. Phil employed his services to produce reports and advice. Phil took it.
Who else in the process? John Gabriel? Mark Warkentein? Mills?
It all adds up. The only egregious move knicks made last year was Noah. The concept was solid. But too much faith in his health.
Thats obvious. Not obvious is Noah's future.

"Knicks" Drafted KP and Willy!!!! Little house Gaines did good.

Willy was actually Mills pick- he saw him when he went to scout KP.

To be even more accurate the Knicks Full Time Foreign Scout is Kevin Wilson and he's been over there for a LONG TIME. He knows ALL the players on the International scene.

The Knicks have 6 undrafted players on a 15 man roster. Five of them are rookies. It definitely is at least in part due to very good scouting. But it also speaks to the level of talent on the team as well.

More importantly a LACK OF PICKS over the years. It leaves you with having to dig deep to find talent in every nook and cranny!!! Now they have the chance to make use of the draft in a bigger way.
