Larry Debuts as a Knick

In his debut with the New York Knicks Hughes shot the ball poorly (1/9 from the field). He did manage 2 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 blocked shot in 15 minutesof action.

Im sure Hughes was elated to get on the floor after over a month of DNP's.

Steven A Smith on Larry Hughes Trade



New York State of Mind

Larry Hughes has been sent to the Knicks for three players most notably combo forward Tim Thomas( whom Hughes played alongside I'm Philadelphia earlier in his career). The knicks play an uptempo brand of basketball that features players such as Nate Robinson, Al Harrington and Quentin Richardson.

The Knicks have been looking for a 2 guard since they sent Jamal Crawford to Golden State. In Hughes they have size, experience, versatility, and defensive pressure in the backcourt. He can play alongside Robinson/Duhon/Richardson playing the 1,2, or 3. Hopefully Hughes will be successfully integrated into the rotation whether as a starter or a high minute reserve( either scenario is likely).
If Hughes continues to hit big shots, shoot the long ball well, play excellent defense, and have relatively no turn overs he will be a favorite at Madison Square Garden.
