Just to be clear I'd love the Knicks to have a PG that's starting 5 unit whose defensive numbers were about the best in the game and who holds (or his presence allows the team to hold under the mysterious switching tactic only hassles Jacksons guy system) players like Damon Lillard and Ty Lawson and Kemb walker to 5-17 shooting nights and which the local papers call getting "scorched". What would they call the Ray Felton ole defense? Crime against humanity?

Essentially the guy has been groomed to be a backup PG and has had his role greatly increased because of Westbrook being hurt. He is playing more minutes and is playing against starting players as opposed to backups. Obviously he isnt as good as a player as Westbrook but his numbers are good for any reasonable expectation level.

He can probably be a starting PG for some teams. I never said he played bad I don't believe, just that a lot of people expected more than reasonable numbers. They expected more. With no Westbrook he isn't playing much more than he did with Russ.
