New York Knicks select Channing Frye at 8

Indiana Pacers select Danny Granger at 17

The New York Knicks had three first round picks in the 2005 NBA Draft. Their first pick Channing Frye turned out to be there worst one. He did enjoy a productive rookie season averaging 12.3 points and 5.8 in rebounds  in 24.2 minutes per game. However, the next season his points, rebounds, blocks and FG% per game all decreased. The main reason for the sophomore slump was the career season from C Eddy Curry who averaged 19.5 points and seven rebounds a game.  Frye’s tenure lasted just two seasons with the Knicks as he was traded to the Portland Trailblazers for PF Zach Randolph.

Danny Granger was one of the best picks in the 05 NBA Draft. The 6′9″ wing player has shown his versatility with the ability to defend, pass and shoot. He has evolved into one of the top offensive threats in the game. The 08-09 Most Improved Player averaged 25.8 points per game which was fifth in the NBA. He made 182 three-point shots which was fourth in the league. He became the first player in league history to increase his scoring average by at least five points in three consecutive seasons. The New Orleans native also averaged 5 rebounds, 1.5 blocks, and one steal per game. His wingspan and leaping ability has made him one of the best shot blockers at his position. Granger was also named to his first All-Star team this season and will be participating in Team USA summer camp.

    • Comment on Rangers Trade For Jokinen by Jeff Zachowski
      You're obviously a student of the GOP school of debate, Rob. Why say anything intelligent when you can just misrepresent what the other side is saying and/or falsify what they've already said? First off, I am stating that an inability to judge a move in a vacuum would impair your credibility. It's up to you to decide whether or not that descri […]

      You're questioning my credibility to bash moves? I question your ability to judge any moves at all. 2 days after the Rangers made the very obvious disaster of signing Wade Redden to a crippling contract you emailed me and said that the Rangers were making your dreams come true. In another email you told me that you were never more excited about the Rang […]

      Come on, Rob. You wear your Sather Hatred like a chip on your shoulder. You're not the only one around here who hates the guy. But in order to have credibility when you bash moves, you have to be fair on the good ones. Did you ever think that he'd be able to unload the remaining FIVE years on Gomez's pact while not taking back salary beyond th […]

      This is only a good deal because it gets rid of Kotalik. I doubt Jokinen is going to make a difference. I can't congratulate Sather for making up for his own mistake when the biggest mistake, Redden, is still out there for the next five, ?, years. […]
    • Comment on This Week in Rangers Hockey (Jean Ratelle Edition) by Ben
      Jean Ratelle was not only a gentleman on the ice but off it as well. Living in Long Beach, I grew up with the Rangers as my neighbors and Jean was always happy to give the local kids sticks and pucks so we could play in the street. His time with the Rangers was the golden age of hockey. I saw him fight only once and even that he did like a gentleman. No one […]
