We all know that many NBA fans and Isiah Thomas critics alike balked at the Knicks’ first round pick, Renaldo Balkman (Knicks, F) but lately he has been turning heads thanks to his strong per minute numbers. For every 48 minutes he plays, Balkman is averaging more than 14 points, 13 rebounds with over two steals and two blocks.
Against the Raptors on March 18, with David Lee on the shelf and Eddy Curry in foul trouble early, Balkman came off the bench and recorded his third double-double of the season with 15 points, 12 rebounds, three steals and two blocks in 32 minutes. Balkman is averaging fewer than 14 minutes per game, but his performances of late have some hoping for more PT.
Tarence Kinsey, SG with Memphis, played the most minutes of his young career on March 20th. He put in 33 mins and scored 10pts, 5 rbs, a steal and 2 assists. Again I hope more PT comes his way.
We here at LOHD wish them the best.
