Derrick Williams with 24pts, 7rebs, on 8-17 shooting to lead the Knicks.

I hope it works out for him there. Then I can use this as case in point for me to say Russell needs more time.

If his Lioness can make the leap, then Rubio surely can.

Should be interesting if he keeps it up. It's very rare for someone to plug along in the league for 4 or 5 years at a steadily mediocre rate and then to suddenly become an efficient double-digit scoring stud. But good for him if it happens. May be he's become more serious about his game.

The new Hassan Whiteside

I hope he does continue, he's the kind of person you can root for even if he cost your team a number 2 pick for which they got no return!

I root for him too, but come on, we know what Derrick Williams is. There will be the occasional great game, but it's not sustainable. The lion went back into his cage last night, and shot 3 for 9. Order is restored in the world again.

Shocker. I do think he is a legit NBA rotation player for a .500ish team and he is still young and stays healthy. He was a good signing for the Knicks they needed a guy like that. He obviously isn't Melo but he can sorta come in behind him and do sorta similarish things in the offense.

I am sure his game against the Bucks probably was helped by the Bucks were undermanned starting Bayless and Copeland...ouch.
