[外電] Knicks' Fields, Clips' Griffin named Rookies of the Mont

[cty (cty)]

By Frank Isola

Donnie Walsh didn't bring LeBron James to New York but it's starting to look
like the Knicks president had a solid offseason.

Amar'e Stoudemire and Raymond Felton are both solid pick-ups and the biggest
surprise thus far has been rookie Landry Fields, who was drafted 39th overall
last June.

On Wednesday, Fields was named Eastern Conference rookie of the month. He
ranks fourth among rookies in scoring (10.8 ppg), second in rebounding (7.1
rpg), eighth in assists (1.6 apg) and second in field goal percentage (.544).
Fields has started all 19 games for the Knicks this season and he leads all
NBA guards in rebounds.

The Knicks have had a recent good run of late picks; Isiah Thomas drafted
Trevor Ariza in the second round and selected David Lee with the last pick of
the first round. Last season, Walsh purchased the Lakers first round pick and
used it to select Toney Douglas.

Scouting and player development are under-rated aspects of building a team.
Yes, Walsh missed on Brandon Jennings last season but he's drafted solid role
players that make a team complete
