<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">CHARLESTON, S.C., Oct. 11 - Allan Houston took a jog or two and Antonio Davis popped in long enough to have dinner, but the Knicks will break training camp Wednesday with no clear sign that either one will contribute this season. In fact, it seems more likely that neither will. The October movements of two 30-something veterans rarely warrants more than a footnote, but the Knicks are Larry Brown's team now, and he is generally partial to players with receding hairlines. In Philadelphia, Brown had Eric Snow and Aaron McKie to help him manage the impetuous Allen Iverson, and in Detroit he had a polished group with experience and success. The Knicks have little experience and even less success, and the absences of players like Davis and Houston could put a dent in their progress. Brown has referred to his baby-faced group as "like a college team," and he recently noted: "This is not the same situation I walked into in Detroit. Those guys all knew how to play. There weren't a lot of things that I told them that they hadn't heard before or done before."</div> New York Times
I'd probably be thinking the same thing if I were in Brown's shoes. The only veterans they have are Antonio Davis who might not be staying, Malik Rose, Penny, Allan Houston, Marbury and Mo Taylor. The rest of there roster isnt that experienced. Most of the guys that I mentioned wont even play that much except Marbury and AD if he stays.
I'm actually OK with this as long as these young cats are willing to learn. That's the job LB has to do, teach these youngins. He knew going into this that it wasn't going to be easy. I think tho that at least these boys will respect his accomplishments and listen to LB more than they would Herb and much more than they would Lenny or Chaney.
