He needs to finish his career as a Knick.

My Fellow Fort Greene breh.

I'm still perplexed how him and I are basically the same age and I lived across the street from him since he lived in the same projects as my godbrother.

He should def retire a Knick.

Plus, he's only been coaching this team for a year. The moves they made after the Ls were pretty smart on paper. If you studied the Knicks in comparison to this year, outside of the bad luck, we are looking like contenders.

I may do the homework but...

I would love to see Jeff Van Gundy's starting records.

I went to high school by there lol

If you could agree that the roster is poorly constructed than you would understand that it would take time to establish rotations and work out kinks

Working out the kinks is what we're doing now. Not what we were doing before the first Mavs game or before Mitch got concussed and came back (whichever you believe to be the start of the Knicks figuring out the rotation)

I agree with Fiz on this one. Knox should definitely put most of his focus on defense. He has the size and length to do so.

Fiz still fukking trash, the grandstanding last couple of pages is hilarious. Keep that same energy when he out here allowing Randle to rack up turnovers with no consequences.

I ain’t gonna wish thy on Taj, let that man go somewhere prosperous.

Na, offensively, he has to move around the rim and get open. That's what differentiates him from Morris. Defensively, he has to avoid the switch with a mismatched opponent.

Definitely a winnable game today against the Spurs. But they are on an 8 game losing streak, and with our luck, they might blow us out.

this spurs and knicks game tonight

Might be the first step in determining which teams gets the number 1 pick

Every opponent is a mismatch for Knox like stop this buillshyt, no reason Knox should be absolutely trash on defense like he is, he can't guard nobody and it makes no sense with his physical gifts

You haven't been watching the games, stop it. Some shots are unblockable but he can't read switches.

Knox's physical gifts are alright. He has a cool 6'11 wingspan nothing crazy. His frame is nice just needs to pack the weight. He isn't a very athletic player, he's average, not really bouncy and has poor foot speed and movement mechanics on both ends, you add to his poor I.Q. and awareness and this is what you get.

 

[BAMBA]

Knox needs to work on stopping players from moving freely along the baseline. Force them inside (which typically forces them to switch their dribble to their less dominant left hand) and let your bigs step up and provide some rim protection if they do manage to get past you.

 

[Columbo]

Knox needs better lateral movement and foot speed but he should still be better defensively. He just doesnt get it at this point of his career

Ive seen people say the same things about Tatum that many of us are saying about Knox athletically, but Tatum puts forth alot more effort and shows more determination with not letting his man get by him

I still feel like many of Knox's problems are mental but once again were writing off a young player, the coli's favorite thing to do. Im not following this trend
