When the Knicks signed Marshall Plumlee to a guaranteed deal in the offseason, I was not too thrilled. Plumlee played four years at Duke, and didn't really show all that much during that time; he has very little skill on the offensive end, and his physical makeup leaves much to be desired (particularly his wingspan and standing reach). To top it off, the Knicks had already guaranteed roster spots for four other centers. Basically, this Plumlee was an energy big who didn't do much else. What was the point of bringing him in over guys like Chasson Randle?
Halfway through the season, that question has finally been answered (although we won't know whether or not it was the right decision for quite some time).
