Cleanthony Early to the New York Knicks

[jocoshock]

@IanBegley: Cleanthony Early will start for the #Knicks tonight.

[Shock Top]

Cle had a rough night.

23 minutes. 2 points (1/7 FG; 0/3 3PT)

[60Shock]

Ouch! Come on Cle, now is the time to show them what you've got!

[Shock Top]

Cle struggling again today. Few minutes, but not playing so well at the moment.

It's getting late for Cleanthony Early to prove he belongs

If he is to be traded, he needs to be traded to Boston. Brad is the coach he needs.

dude needs a real chance to prove himself. Not 1 game in the nba then back to the d-leauge, called up gets like 8 minutes, then d-league.

that doesn't help anybody

Cle's stat line at halftime of tonight's game:

5 pts., 4 rebs. 1 ast., (12 min)

[The Mad Hatter]

Late in the 3rd, Cle is only 2-10 from the field, but he has 9 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 0 turnovers, and the best +/- on the team at +5.

NBA Twitter guy said "Cleanthony Early is a true garbage time all star. MVP level." I laughed.

Hopefully Cle is able to gin up his stats a little down the stretch. He has really struggled to find his shot this year (.313 FG%, .255 3FG%, .688 FT%).

Boosting those to a respectable level could save him some stress during the preseason this fall.

I am most surprised by the FT%. He is a very fine FT maker. He made 79.1% and 84.4% in his two years here.

Rookie jitters maybe.

I think his numbers are due to the inconsistent nature of his playing time... They've jerked him around something horrible this season...

[jocoshock]

Ft% for CLE, Ron, Fred are all down this year. They all are obviously suffering from a bad case of P.U.S.S.
