Anthony Randolph could return soon.

we’ll need him against Orlando

Give the kid enough time to rest, I’d hate to see his career ruined because we wanted an athletic 4 in the 2nd unit against a team we’re probably going to lose against anyway. Call that pesimistic, but I’d play Randolph against Chicago at the earliest.

Randolph a backup up SF/C (though Turiaf has played well)? Felton, TD, AR, Chandler, Amare to close out games?

That’s a plus for AR and Chandler’s versaitility though: if D’antoni wants to give them minutes, they’ll get them somewhere.

And yeah, I’d keep him out of significant minutes until Chicago at the earliest. I think we can beat Orlando if we’re all clicking, but it’s a long shot, and a hobbled AR doesn’t change that much.

He has watched from the bench and sees a chance to break in the rotation.

“I feel I can help the team, give them another big man on the bench to give them energy,” Randolph said. “It’s hard to watch. If it was up to me, I’d already have been out there in Boston.”

and hopefully he does play against the Magic, especially if its takes Roger Mason out of the rotation.

The next injury in the first five minutes, what else?

Bring him if healthy. Play him at the PF/SF/C position in a reserve roll and tell him rebound, rebound and rebound. If he starts taking foolish jump shots like before then put him back on thebench until he listens. He seems like a good guy and does listen to the coaches. What ever happen to Earl Barron?

That SHOULD be the idea when bringing in AR. He’s capable of bringing down 12 rebs a game if thats what his reponsibility is. Play less on the wing and more on the corners of the block. Turiaf has been great w/ the post D, but he does this b/c he times his jump very well..he isnt a natural jumper which is why he struggle on the glass at times…8 blocks and 10 rebs on the year so far.

Barron wanted that huge contract. Somehow his agent thought that 2 weeks of games last year warranted that guaranteed money. Instead now, he’s not a part of an nba roster. We dont need extra players..We actually have the players at pf and C, Mosgov, turiaf, amare, Randolph need to pick up the fundamentals of rebounding. But with mosgov being a rook, and randolph being underutilized previously as a pf/c… they have to get minutes and time under the belt to up that part of their game.

Somebody needs to show him the early yrs of Camby as a Knick. Do that and everything will be gravy.
