I think he would be a solid pickup for the minimum. He's only 23, he's 6'10, 275.
Didn't get alot of minutes for the Knicks, but when he played, he seemed to be productive with his defense and rebounding. He wasn't great offensively, but surprisingly he shot 34% from beyond the arc (made 20 out of 59 3's)
His overall numbers were 4.4 pts, 4 rebounds in 15 mpg
Per 36 minutes, he averaged 10.8 pts, 9.6 boards, 1.3 blocks
His offensive/defensive rating was 105/98 compared to the Knicks 104/101 and his win shares per 48 minutes was 0.127 which is pretty good.
He only shot 42% from the field (did shoot a few threes) and 61% from the FT line. His total shooting was 51% which is ok and his eFG% wsa 49% which isn't that great.

ESPN lists him as a F, if he can play both the 5 and 4 I say hells yeah.

He was actually drafted by the Hornets in 2011 but was traded for cash to NY.
He is young so why not?
We need a third center anyway.
Either Harrellson or Whiteside are ok with me. -
08-16-2012, 07:34 AMHoy504
I think right now if anything we go after a point guard!
-
08-16-2012, 07:37 AMHornetsFan1I would rather Harrellson because he is a harder worker.Quote:

Definitely worth a look for the minimum.

Jason Smith had similar overall numbers in his rookie season. I'd bet Monty could bring some good minutes out of Harrellson.

He will be a good add to training camp competion....another Kentucky addition....our new mascot wildcats lol
-
08-16-2012, 10:30 AMRaisingTheBarIf nothing else I think it would be a good idea just for depth. If he made the team I don't think he would ever see the floor unless of an injury.Quote:

Now that they drafted Davis and Miller I'm finally officially becoming a fan all the way up in Lexington Kentucky. So hey its not a bad thought! hahaQuote:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he seems like Goose 2.0 to me, as far as play style.

08-16-2012, 11:51 AMonpointlikecp3
I wouldn't be opposed to signing Harrellson, but it seems like Whiteside has more upside and for the league minimum, I want the guy with the higher ceiling.

08-16-2012, 12:14 PMHornetsFan1I disagree. Harrellson, IMO, has more potential with us because we have Ryan Anderson, and they are a lot alike. It would be great if they worked out together because Anderson can teach a lot to him. Harrellson will be a center on this team though not a PF, but he has a big body.Quote:

Alot of Knick fans really hated him because he took ridiculous amounts of 3s. So who knows.

08-16-2012, 12:26 PMHornetsFan1Well if Anderson can't help him, Monty wont let him take 3s.Quote:

08-16-2012, 12:31 PMBP225I think the team needs some Smith insurance and am all for picking up a stretch 4 to develop. Next year Smith could get dumped if Demps can convince a max player to come here and even if that doesn't happen Smith will probably get a big pay raise in 2 years, possibly more than the Hornets are willing to pay for a bench player.Quote:

He was a big part of their Final Four run in 2011. They lost by one to UCONN. Otherwise they could have won the championship with him, Knight, Miller and Terrence Jones.

Brandon Knight and Miller were brutal that game while Terrence Jones and Lamb played well.

According to 82games.com, he was at his best when he played center.
-
08-16-2012, 01:03 PMPelicans78
Yeah, he's a center. He's not a stretch PF. He's 275.
-
08-16-2012, 01:05 PMRaisingTheBarHe played 37 games last year and averaged 1.6 3-pt attempts per game. I wouldn't say that is a ridiculous amount.Quote:

He spent a lot of time at PF with the knicks.

08-16-2012, 01:10 PMHornetsFan1
Also, Hoops Magazine has him rated as the number 5 NBA breakout star for 2012-2013. They are are calling it the "Next Jeremy Lin."

Hassan Whiteside number 10! :hihi: -
08-16-2012, 03:49 PMTealNestI'm also a fan of the Knicks and the complaint from a lot of fans wasn't him taking those threes, it was D'Antoni letting him/having him take those threes.Quote:

Well, I like Jorts or Whiteside, or even Robert Sacre (lakers no doubt will release him - I think they only have one unsigned position available).
One of those three would be great! -

I like H Whiteside big upside he wlll look good swatting. shots beside Anthony davis ......hassan is 7'0....defense presence

08-16-2012, 07:32 PMHornetsFan1
Knicks fans forum posts about Jorts.
Quote:
Word has it Houston will be waiving the beloved Josh Harrelson to make way for Delfino. I know a few of you were broken hearted to see him go. Maybe there can be a re-connection. Qeue the slow music..."Reunited and it feels so good.."
Quote:
i knew someone was going to make this ignorant thread as soon as i heard Jorts was waived.
does it really require it's own thread?
[X] no.
Quote:
Can someone clue me in on this love of Jorts. I don't see it. The kid hustles and can rebound but other then that what is there? His shot is hit or miss and he isn't blocking anyone unless they're 6ft. We can do much better with that spot. Even if we could sign him yesterday I'm passing.

dam* it wouldve been great if jorts could take that guaranteed spot..

Dam*, got beaten to it twice... Jorts won't be able to sign with us

John Hollinger @johnhollinger
For those asking, Knicks can't sign Jorts til next July. Will probably be claimed on waivers by somebody like Cleveland or New Orleans. -
08-16-2012, 08:02 PMRaisingTheBarApparently John doesn't like us or Cleveland because he has said this exact same thing like 2 or 3 times this off seasonQuote:

Josh Harrellson is turrning heads every where!
http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/story...-standings-nbaQuote:
Now everyone wants to know who will become The Next Jeremy Lin -- a guy who went from the bottom hundred in the league to perhaps the top hundred all in one season. While we may not witness another jump quite like Lin's in the coming season, he was just one of many diamonds in the rough last season.
Last year, we ranked Lavoy Allen, a playoff starter for the Philadelphia 76ers, dead-last at 500th. Isaiah Thomas, the last pick of the 2011 draft and 464th-ranked player, won Rookie of the Month twice in 2011-12. And the San Antonio Spurs won 20 consecutive games last season with 421st-ranked Danny Green in the starting lineup.
As we learned last season, there's a good chance that several players will seemingly come out of nowhere and shock the basketball community. Who will do that next year?
Here are five candidates in the bottom 100:
Harrellson
Josh Harrellson (free agent)
NBArank: 403
Interestingly enough, Harrellson finds himself in a position similar to what Lin experienced last season for the Houston Rockets. Although Harrellson has proved he can play at an NBA level, the Rockets simply feature too many bodies ahead of him on the depth chart, and like Lin, Harrellson was the odd man out. There's a legitimate chance that the Rockets may be kicking themselves for this cut, as well.
