Solid player but he needs to learn how to shoot.

Sometimes you wonder how is this guy even in the NBA. But he manages to stick around somehow, he must be doing something right.

After this contract he will never play in the NBA again. He's just lucky that there was one idiot exec in the league willing to pay him that much money

Very high bball IQ but he has no athleticism or shooting ability to complement that.

He works hard though and is a good character guy. I would be happy with him on the team for half the money he's getting now.

I'm keeping hope alive...while liking moving Alan Anderson into our starting line-up depending on match-ups.

I've read that he changed his stroke a year ago in an attempt to improve and hasn't adapted since. Everyone I read here seems to believe that shooting is the easiest skill to develop through repetition (as opposed to ball handling, court vision, etc). If that's really true the question becomes what do we know about his work ethic?

He very well could be the glue keeping our team together. At the very least he brings God onto our side. Just think, who's been a vocal religious player in the past? That's why it always seemed God hated the Raptors.

his athleticism is actually decent but his shot is horrid. most high school players could beat him in a shooting drill.

He has 3 months to fix his shot.
He showed some promising mid-range, and hope that will be consistent in 1 month, then extend to 3 point in the next 2 months.

Last night he looked like he fit a lot better with the bench unit. Hint hint.

He currently has a PER of 1.3

No, that is not a misplaced period.

BC's to do list:

1. Get rid of Bargnani
2. Get rid of Fields

Love how people try and call him a glue guy to hide the fact he sucks.

I used to like him in his first year with the Knicks, but last year he was horriable and this year with the raps just looks out of place.. I hope he gets his shot back and be half decent

It clearly looks like he sucks at this moment. But I try not to judge players too soon. Give him at least 20 games before making any outright conclusions. Regardless though. he was overpaid and will never please fans cause he simply cannot live up to that contract,
