These three Rookies along with Balkman, Collins, Nate, Lee, Crawford, Marbury, and Curry, should've been the Knicks 10-Man Rotation from the Start of the 2007-8 season.

The Best Player the Knicks received in the Portland Trade in June was 6.8 SF/SG Demitris Nichols.
It would have been easier to get SF/SG-Nichols peremeter defense & offense to co-exist with last season players than the 3 years of non production from Q.Richardson, and the 2 years of non production from Jefferies, or trying to get Zach & Jones to co-exist with Marbury & Curry.

With the Peremeter shooting the Knicks could have got from Nate, Nichols, Chandler, inconsistent Marbury, and Dum Decision Making Crawford, in each game this season I doubt if the Knicks would've got blown out of 3 or 4 games this season.
Nate pressuring the ball comming up the floor each time and the defensive prowness of "Chandler & Nichols" would've made up for the "NO-Defense Marbury & Crawford"...

P.S. Chandler should replace Jefferies, Nichols should've replaced Q.Richardson, and Morris defensive rebounding should've replaced Frye.
