While Obi Toppin has slowly begun to accumulate the sort of highlight dunks and athletic moves to the rim that made him the NCAA Player of the Year and the No. 8 pick in this most recent NBA Draft, it was the shots he misfired on Saturday which drew the attention of Derrick Rose.
Toppin attempted a pair of three-point field goals and misfired badly on both in the first half, so the newcomer to the Knicks locker room offered some veteran advice from someone who has been dared to shoot by opponents.
