Pre-Season



Knicks New Addition Chris Copeland


The Knicks started off the preseason on a good note against the Washington Wizards.  With John Wall out of the lineup, the Knicks were able to tee off on the young and unexperienced Wizards.  Novak made all 7 of his attempted three pointers and even showed an improved mid range game.  Beal was impressive for the Wizards.  Many believe he is on par with Anthony Davis of New Orleans; but with Davis's experience in London, Beal will be playing catch up early on.
The newcomer Chris Copeland (above) has been very impressive in the Pre-Season.  He is averaging 12 PPG and had 21 points in 19 minutes in the win over the Celtics.  Carmelo was the leading scorer versus Boston with 23.  As for Boston, Jeff Green looked to be completely healed from his season ending injury he suffered last year. 
All in all, the Knicks look to be in mid-season form; even without the services of Amare Stoudemire.  The athletic big man will be back before the start of the season.  The Knicks second leading scorer will be back healthy after being plagued by injuries last season and throughout the playoffs.
