:dahell: His court vision is one of his strengths. He displayed this at duke all last year.




It’s not ELITE. He’s a good passer. He’s not an elite passer. He has good vision. He doesn’t have elite vision. He’s not an elite shooter. Not an elite rebounder. He’s not an elite defender. However, he’s average to above average in all the attributes.

his passing is the most underrated part of his game but sadly y'all won't get to see much of it this year with this RJ in the corner offense

that's why I am perplexed when people say all he has is drive and will? :mjlol:

there is a lot more to RJ's game than just drive and will :mjlol:
His drives open up his passing. But it starts with him driving. Even in that video he was passing as he was drawing defenders to him. Idk why y’all are fighting me on this shyt. RJ isn’t a superstar. THATS OK GUYS. There are like 12-15 of those guys in the entire league at any given time.

that video isn't even the best of his passing ability :mjlol:

it's ok if he doesn't turn out to be a superstar but my point is it's extremely premature to say so
you're so convinced when his rookie season hasn't even completed
don't underestimate a player's ability to grow after their rookie season

How many super star wings in the league have B+ (and i might be being generous) athleticism? What’s the ONE thing superstar players lose as they age that knocks them off that superstar tier?

I understand that but at least give the kid time to grow and improve so he can prove how good he really is

Andre Drummond is about to opt out of 28 million dollars to sign another big contract and we already have Mitchell Robinson. Gtfoh with that.
Fam if these mofukkas trade our best wing defender and trade a player who has no where near max money in a 3 year deal for motherfukking Andre Drummond just to give him the max:mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::mjlol::dead::dead:

If they are really going through with this and had sense they would
1) Trade randle and dsj
2) don't extend drummond for that cap relief

that's it

2nd half of the season should then focus on Frank/RJ/Bullock/Morris/Drummond w/ Mitch, Knox, Trier, Dotson, and Iggy off the bench

Run the offense through RJ and focus on the young guys

Drummond may be able to teach Mitch a thing or two and then let him bounce

but no this FO is always dumb and extra

Might as well tank at this point. (Play all our young guys and trade Randle, Porter, Bulluck, and maybe Trier).

I was at the super market and overheard someone saying that they were trying to get Galloway, I guess he will be a free agent soon.

I could live with any trade as long as we keep Mitch, Frank, and RJ.

They could have
Randle
DSJ
Ellington
Bullock
Trier

Might even trow Porter in there to bring in the other Morris brother to get Marcus to stay. I would much rather draft, and take another shot at free agency with another front office.

LaMelo is a very high risk high reward pick but if he hits as a pick then he would be the PG the Knicks need
His shot is shyt I know but out of all the PGs in the draft, he has the highest upside IMO
He is built for NY
I can fukk with a LaMelo, RJ, and Mitch starting lineup with two sharpshooters (Morris and ?) at the 3 and 4 and Frank as the Knicks' defensive super sub off the bench
Or if Frank improves to 37+% he can start too and RJ can move to the 3
