Knicks in Saratoga: 9/30/08

So, as you might know, the Knicks are having their training camp at Skidmore College, which happens to be my learning institution of choice. After some negotiations with the Knicks management, I got a chance to head down to camp today and mingle with the New York media to take a look. I've got some video and whatnot coming later, but for now, a few notes of interest.

- Eddy Curry was not in the building today, and has apparently been stricken with a pretty nasty bug. Coach D'Antoni said he was feverish and throwing up this morning, so we may not be seeing him for another day or two.

- Danilo Gallinari spent minimal time on the court, and spent most of practice stretching out and riding a stationary bike.

- Allan Houston can still J. No doubt about it.

- Wilson Chandler jumper looks like it's coming along quite a bit.

- Knicks spokesperson Jonathan Supranowitz, for everything I've said about him in the past, is a very helpful, friendly individual. The same goes for pretty much everyone I dealt with.

Again, there's plenty more where that came from, but I just thought I'd give you guys a little update in the meantime.

to see/hear about how Houston’s Defense looks.

Not sure.

In the limited practice time that I got to see, they were only doing fast break drills and shooting.

a few things to note about houston

i was actually beside seth for the afternoon session today, and I definitely focused a decent amount of my attention on houston given that he is fighting for a roster spot

houston actually looked really athletic. it’s tough to put that in perspective, because seeing any of these guys up close is pretty crazy. yet, that being said, he looks like he can run and his shot is beautiful. when he played in d’antoni’s full court drills he got back on defense (which cannot be said for mr robinson). one thing i especially noticed was after a somewhat strenuous session of a 3 on2 fast break drill, houston went immediately to shooting free throws. pretty much everyone else on the team got towels and gatorade. you can’t really critique someone’s d in practice, but the guy is definitely in better shape than would be expected
