    He'll do good for the Knicks. They need a bench.

    Glad to see Novak get picked up. Hopefully he can get some spot minutes to hit some threes!

    Thatd show D'antoni still has little regard for defense.

    Great pickup for the Knicks and Mike 'Antoni (We know there's no need for D when it comes to him).

    He is another example of a player like Shaq, but on the other side of the spectrum. I will never understand why he doesn't wake up, realize he is a good shooter, and then spend his summer expanding his game. Just work on getting better at one thing, dribbling drills or getting low on defense, for example.

    I've heard all the discussion about Shaq and his free-throw shooting, but Malone did it. He realized he was going to get fouled a lot and became better at the stripe. If Shaw shot at a 70% clip, how many more points would he have added to his record? I'd bet he would be so far out as the number one scorer of all time that no one could ever reach him.

    Waste.

    Shooting free throws is a different matter. Novak is garbage, he is too slow to drive to the basket or defend on the perimeter. He is too weak to bang or score inside. He is very physically limited. He was a decent draft pick for where he was drafted, but nothing more.
