He should definitely have been getting more minutes but people throw around "special" player around too fukking much
A decent starter is not a special player

It's the Knicks. We call all our players special even the bums. I wouldn't take it too serious but the kid is nice. I just pray he doesn't get the Amare/Rose/Griffin curse that comes with all them hops. Stay a little grounded, incorporate a floater and a few jumpers here and there.

It doesn't matter who's better fam. Brunson/Grimes/RJ works pretty damn well regarding complimentary skill sets.

Ngl, I'm excited about seeing that lineup. Could be a great value, Steph, Klay, Wiggins.

Like I’ve said can make kickout passes maybe only a handful of players in the league can make.

Top 10 offensive talent off the strength of that and heavily self created offense.

Assists per game don’t do him justice.

Creates too much of a defensive liability if we trade Grimes, IQ off for him. We would essentially be gutting out or sacrificing too much defense for offense as I don't see RJ and Randle as, as good defenders.

I prefer we build off what we have and let Brunson lead then focus on moderating the salary and dumping off Randle even if it means packaging a rookie or 2nd round picks.

I mean he is the black Tyler Herro on defense. Say what you want about his defense when his peers get criticized for the same thing or lack thereof.

My point was regardless of what you think of Donovan's defense, they're leagues apart on offense, so much so that imcomparable as players. We can go ahead and call any defensive seive Tyler Herro if you want though, I'm sure it'd piss off Heat fans and I'd enjoy that.

I mean Mitchell is 3 years older than Herro, so I would hope that they're leagues apart on offense or as a player. I will still say that Mitchell isn't that much of an upgrade over Herro for Miami when it comes down to it as teams are still going to haunt Mitchell in the playoffs and his overall offensive and playmaking skills aren't all worldly enough to compensate for that.

Not really.

U are harping on that shyt hardbody.

He was already critiqued there’s articles on it but you literally want to crucify him.

He’s a very valuable player regardless.

Is that comment supposed to be funny

If the Centers are healthy I expect the Knicks to be chasing #1 in defense next year.
