that’s quite a bit more than the rumored 7 mill. I’m happy with Duhon, but it’s not surprising that in the end the Knicks’ only legitimate recruiting tactic was once again their wallet. blowing their full mid-level exception on a career backup isn’t all that dissimilar from something isiah thomas might have done – only this guy plays defense. again, i like it, i’m just not happy about the money and i’m surprised duhon was valued so highly. i’m pleased that the knicks will finally have an on-ball defender at the point position though. it’s difficult to play team defense when your perimeter D can’t stay in front of the opposing point guard.

Chris Duhon, in the four years that I have watched him, will bring good defense and the ability the run an offense. He isn’t particularly creative with the ball, which might not work with D’Antoni. Though he shot 35% on three-pointers, he isn’t much of a shooter; he rarely shoots unless he is left wide open by the defense. As you mentioned, his professionalism leaves a lot to be desired. Still, he is solid as a backup.
