Knicks Have Two Spots? We're Here for YOU!

Doing my usual perusal of all things D-League, I saw a post from the SB Nation Knicks blog, Posting & Toasting, who wrote:
- The deals open up two roster spots, which could mean a quick raid of the D-League. Patrick Mini-Ewing, anybody?
The three-for-one deal opened two roster spots, which Walsh said the Knicks likely will fill with players out of the D-League (Will Conroy, Blake Ahearn or Patrick Ewing Jr.) or off the NBA waiver wire (Quincy Douby).

on posting and toasting wants rod benson. thoughts? and are there any shot blockers in the dleague? i just don’t know these dudes.
but i believe pops was in the nba for at least a cup of coffee. i remember thinking walker russell was good but not anything better than a guy like mike wilks or something.
Rod Benson is good
He was best rebounder in the D-League last season, had a 28 and 28. This year, he’s the sixth man for the Wizards, so I’m not sure if you can call him up off the bench.
Pops is the best shot blocker. Cheikh Samb, if he comes in, would be the best if not Pops.
Walker Russell isn’t great, but he’s at least as good as Anthony Roberson. Definitely can run the offense better.
Ridiculous? I think Not.
Upside? Plenty.

roberson was not capable
his handle was worse than shaky. and he was just simply incapable of setting anyone up. and he didn’t even make his open jumpers. he choked every chance he got basically. i remember russell from summer league and he was nice. calm and collected type of fella.
i feel like if we need to get a player it’s gonna be someone who can block shots and/or shoot from the perimeter.
Hmm
Block shots — Pops or possibly Dwayne Jones (From the Magic)
Perimeter shooting — Blake Ahearn. 46% from 3 — 93-for-204.
Ridiculous? I think Not.

Pops is good
So is Blake, if you’re looking for a long distance shooter.
Regardless, I’m disappointed, the Knicks haven’t called anyone up yet.

i bet
the marbury situation gets settled (or unsettled) before we move forward. also i would imagine d’antoni would want to see how his new players pan out before considering what he needs next.
donnie walsh has not made a knee jerk reaction up to this point in his tenure, and it may be possible that he’s never jerked his knee once in his life. so i can’t imagine we’ll see one now.
i’m sure people have pulled his leg though… (yeesh)
