NYKnicks.com: David Lee?
D'Antoni: He works hard. He's everybody's favorite … and he's definitely a coach's favorite.
NYKnicks.com: Zach Randolph?
D'Antoni: Zach is a 20-10 guy who is one of the two or three guys in the league that can do it.
NYKnicks.com: How about Wilson Chandler? He's a player you might not have known a lot about before you came over here.
D'Antoni: He's got unbelievable potential. The same with (Danilo) Gallinari. He also has unbelievable talent and can really make others around him better.
NYKnicks.com: Is there anybody who has surprised you so far from what you've seen?
