Would be nice to pick him up if we had the room. He's a true small forward and we aren't developing anyone at that position, but it's hard to justify eating Ager's deal based on one game.
The Pacers need to scoop him up ASAP. I know we have plenty of swing men but he sure has more potential than Joey Graham. Someone has to give the guy a roster spot. With all that athleticism and a little teaching he could atleast be a decent future bench guy that brings some good energy for 15-20 MPG.
Dump some of the crap on this team and get him. With some time, experience and knowledge, he will become a great bench player and do what a Najera does by the time Najera is out of here; if not sooner. He is a team-first player, he will rebound, block shots, get oops, enforce, and will hustle his damn ass off every day(in games and practice). He will provide energy and guts and that is more than can be said about most 'bench' players in this league. Someone please start the GET EWING campaign, before anyone gets a hold of the tape from the last 8 minutes from the other night. He is half the reason that team made a real run at us.
He's not very good. Didn't see him play any good defense. If we get him, he'll be in the pile of young projects. I'll rank Ewing Jr, slightly under DJ Stawberry. But, I still feel the roster is too young, by the time they'll get good, their contract would be up.
WHY would kiki get him?? Hes not even good. He had one good game the whole preseason and everyone is going crazy and the nets dont need him at all
Just because the Knicks are stupid doesn't mean everyone else has to be, he has a 42" verticle, Marion-like qualities on the floor. Dammit he's better than anything the Nets have at bench for energy not counting CDR and has a great work ethic, in time he will be like a Matt Barnes was for Golden State.
All im trying to say is that i would like to see him play more and see what he can do in a nightly basis before getting him on the nets
By then it is too late. I understand where you are coming from, but remember D'antoni need to do a lot this preseason. First, he has to make this team work. So the preseason was all about that. Second, the knicks are stock piled with SF/PF. Jeffries, Q, Chandler, Lee, and there could be more hiding under the bench. Third, Ewing was some kind of dump. Dont remember who they traded to get him. So they didnt really know what they were getting. I wouldnt mind getting him because after watching that game, the kid has something. I dont know what it is but I want that on my team.
9 minutes of end of exhibition game play is just not enough time to make a judgement on Junior's talents nor future expectations..
ya... ewing jr. isnt that great... i understand the hype... with his pedigree and all... but this is like nothing like the mannings... is this like the greises... hehe with brians father being a legend ^^
OMG Ager is not that good. Go for it ThronKikNer, Yeesh! If nothing more than to get Ewing Sr. to be a big man coach down the road. If nothing more than to steal Knick loyals when you move to Brooklyn, if nothing more than to have a tradeable player down the road.
Lots of guys have 42" verticals. Doesn't make them good basketball players. Jr. is OK from what I saw, but the Nets really don't need to add any more young prospects right now. The young guys started bonding in training camp, got to know each other and are ready for a long season ahead. Why throw in another player who'll threaten their minutes with no real reason? Hassan Adams was a great energy and hustle guy too and look how he turned out.
I doubt Hassan had Ewing Jr's pedigree, again he is raw but already is as hard a worker as his dad, he gets his jumpshot figured out he can be a steal. We might as well dump the useless contracts for example Ager.
ewing's lucky to have been in the league. if it weren't for his last name, he may not have made it out of the summer league, if that.
I think he's horrible but I'd still rather him over Ager. Least he's had marketing potential. "Father runs New York and son runs Brooklyn."
