I know we have major defensive issues to address this offseason (it has been this way since Van Gundy left for those who are actually keeping tabs), but I wouldn’t mind having both of these guys join the Knicks. Walsh needs to work his mojo and trade up to get a top three pick. After we gutted the team and sent Crawful and ZBo packing, we basically had a full team of reserves with no legit starters. Chandler may be a legit starter in a year or two, but he is not there yet. Duhon was at first, but he fell apart as the season progressed.
Rubio looks like he could run D’Antoni’s offense with more finesse than (dare I say it?) Nash. Curry is at a disadvantage because he is an undersized two, but how can you question this kid’s NBA range? If people like Steve Kerr can play in the league, this guy can play in the league IMHO.

A lot of money could be riding on Rubio’s performance at EuroCamp in June.
People who have seen Curry claim that he will be able to create his own shot in the NBA. I’ll believe it when I see it. They also claim that he plays ‘long,’ comparing his game to Allan Houston despite a 3 or 4 inch height differential. I think he will be a really good NBA player if he’s on a team with a dominant dribble penetrator or big man who defenses will collapse on. That is not the knicks and i would not support a selection of stephen curry.
I Really have not seen much of either of the two, Rubio seems like a creative passer how is his jumpshot and range from three?
Curry … does he go to the hole how is his perimiter D?
Hello there I was , do you mind sharing with me where you got this cool theme from?
