Dear Jared 

Post#1 » by Smithers » Thu Jan 3, 2008 3:05 pm

Please just stop shooting the ball. Just because you are open does not mean you should shoot the ball. You hit the rim about 10% of the time and your stance is hideous. Next time you are open, just pass the ball right back. Why do guys even pass the ball to him?

I agree that his shot sucks but he has to shoot sometime so why not when he's open?

Personally I never understood why the Knicks signed him or why he plays as much as he does.

the guy can barely make a layup but, he thinks he can hit the 3ball. Wow, talk about truly delusional.

Guys, he's wearing #20. He's seen the New York Knick tapes in the 90s. Give him a few years and his jumpshot will be like Allan Houston's. Smooth.

If Quentin is allowed to shoot the ball from the perimeter this season, I don't see why Jared should be forbidden, It wouldn't be fair.

Give him time to settle in. Remember "Knick 4ever" said he will be our Scottie Pippen. :wink:

Q has taken 244 shots and has made less then 32% of them, while Jared is shooting about 37%...but has only taken 62 shots.

So you take the shot at some random bench guy who hardly shoots vs a chucker having a really bad year?

Good call.

Is that you Isiah?

Drive + kick out. Knicks seem to miss this concept a lot.

When he was signed, Jared was supposed to be the guy making "everything working" lol remember?

isiah has really said some stupid things as a Knick... like "we're lucky to have him" after the Jerome James signing...
