Rautins was the first pick the Knicks had in the draft, so I felt like they had to get it right. Rautins will probably be in the D-League this year, not horrible, but not what you're hoping for from the first selection your team takes in the draft.

So he'd need prove his worth to make the real squad. My guess is that since Timo, Turiaf and Curry are the only centers on the team, and Curry hadn't arrived until earlier today, Walsh felt they should have some backup centers just in case. And maybe he feels it'll show Curry that they could go on without him, so Curry better work his butt off. In terms of Rautins, while I sometimes read Berman's stuff, I don't check his twitter account. As I mention above, I assumed Rautins wouldn't be in the rotation, but was Berman saying he'd be cut from the team? I thought Rautins had a guaranteed contract, but I could totally be mistaken, in which case I could see him being cut. And honestly I think anyone taken with that pick would've been a long, long, long shot to make the squad so I didn't care about it as much as other Knick fans who anguished over the choice.

Jonathan Bender was a non impact signing, don't get this move either.

I think Tiny Gallon could become a Glen Davis type player in Milwaukee, he would have been a solid pick at 37.

That being said, it would not surprise me to see that lineup in the game for merely the start, with Coach moving to a smaller lineup of douglas/felton, mason, wilson/randolph, galo and amare within minutes...From his time in phoenix, a quick and prolonged lineup change to smaller more versatile group could be seen for majority of games...either way it is a riveting time to be a NYK fan...can't wait for Orlando A lineup of felton, wilson, galo, amare and turiaf is definitely the most probable for opening night.
