Barrett, RJ |
Barrett is the only player on this roster that hasn’t been a disappointment so far. I guess Fizdale feels the same way, he’s played JR 39 and 41 minutes the last two games. |

Morris, Marcus |
Slow start to the season but had very good games against the Celtics and Kings. Maybe this’ll be the start of a nice run for him. |

Robinson, Mitchell |
Robinson only had one foul against the Magic, but for some reason only played 19 minutes. Fizdale is making some weird decisions. |

Portis, Bobby |
Portis looked decent the two games he came off the bench. When he started against the Kings he looked terrible. |

Knox, Kevin |
Every time I get excited about Knox he has a game like he did against the Kings. At least he’s showing some signs of improvement. |

Randle, Julius |
Randle has been a big disappointment so far. He’s been getting a lot of assist, but has a ton of turnovers and surprisingly has had two straight games in which he scored 8 points. I think he’ll be much better when Payton comes back as playing point forward is clearly not working. |

Ntilikina, Frank |
Knicks nation seems pretty split on Frank. Here’s my take. He’s not a PG. He dribbles the ball over halfcourt, hands it off, and hides in a corner. The Knicks have no true PG currently playing and it’s making the entire team worse. |

Gibson, Taj |
Taj played 9 minutes this week and didn’t look terrible. That’s good enough for 8 this week which is sad. |

Ellington, Wayne |
Ellington is averaging a career low 3pt%. Have to think lack of a PG has something to do with that. |

Dotson, Damyean |
With the state of the Knicks backcourt right now why is Dotson not playing? |

Brazdeikis, Ignas |

Payton, Elfrid |
Payton needs to come back soon. A month ago I never would have predicted needing to type this. |

Trier, Allonzo |
No Trier all week. |

Smith Jr., Dennis |
I’d like to see Smith come back and get some serious minutes for a little while just so we can come to a concensus about his ability to make it in the NBA. |

Still waiting on Allen’s first appearance. |
