Pied Piper Debuts!!!!

If he is getting decent minutes in the "A" league then he is better off there as he will be playing against better players. 

Just want to say I love Moe even though I posted the video!  Love to see him develop and these things are part of the process.  Of course it is great to see our other SJU guy involved in his maturation process in the NBA.  Also, that jarring dunk not Moe's fault, someone should have stepped in and taken the charge from MWP!

If the Knicks a player in the first round, and that guy started and put up less than 4 points and 4 boards per game, would anyone in their right mind say he's productive? I have a lot of respect for Moe, and I think he made an honorable decision for his family. I would have done the same had I been in his shoes. That said, he's not ready for this. He belongs in the D League, where he can get better, at everything.

Henson picked before him is averaging 4.7 and 3.2.  Royce White picked after him is MIA as we know.  Zeller picked after him 1.9 and .9

Biased feelings aside, don't you think he could use a couple of season in the NBDL to work on his game?

No.  The DL is for those who aren't getting minutes.  He's getting minutes.  Maybe when Hedo comes back his minutes disappear.  Until then he needs to be in the NBA playing against the best in the world.

He has shown he can play and contribute and also not turn ball over. His minutes may go down a bit but he won't lose his rotation spot

Hardly posterized.  He got beaten off the dribble and got no help.  Posterized is when the dunker's nuts are in your face.

Nice way to treat a fellow johnny. As for getting beat off the dribble-where have I seen that before?

Tru.

And to be honest many thought Orlando would be the worst team in the East.  They have not played bad at all.

Better record than Lakers as of this AM...won't last but kind of ironic...

Moe had arguably his best game of the year last night.  And with Big Baby getting hurt even though Hedo is coming back it might be a wash in terms of minutes now.
