Randle about to take all the shots.

 

[ISO]

miss the point
players can improve and regress and improve again
knox is in his SECOND YEAR
knox was better last year and was more aggressive attacking the rim despite poor efficiency
this year he is mainly a spot up shooter
stop giving up on players so early
frank is still improving from the eye test even though it's not the offensive production everyone ways
you guys are not used to player development (a 5 year process sorry if you can't wait) because the knicks have been dominated by the revolving door of Dolanism

Again Brown and Tatum didn't regress they were stagnant Kyrie and the depth the Celtics had was the reason for that
We are currently in development hell

These are wasted lottery picks. It's not about what year Knox is in I actually believe he's improved (defensive positioning, shot blocking, passing, finishing) it's just his minutes are down if you check the 'lytics he has a higher PER, TS%, box plus minus, win shares than last season. The problem is last season he had a unusually long leash for such a raw player he sucked but put up better box score numbers. He still sucks and has some damning qualities as a prospect such as lack of burst and footspeed, poor on court awareness, and bad motor. These types of things doom players.

Ntilikina doesn't look like a guy who is ever going to get it on the offensive end he doesn't have the tools to be a starting point guard, great defender just too foul prone and offense matters. He's never been a scorer. These guys are better suited as projects to be drafted to good teams with strong player development and G-League programs. They would play less in games but they would be getting better behind the scenes and slowly eased in to replace veterans.

It's a reason why I mention them and not R.J. and Mitchell. R.J. and Mitchell are far from perfect but they have it.

Y'all keep on talking about Memphis and their rebuild. The Grizzlies have dogs in Ja Morant and JJJ and Dillon Brooks an older prospect who was a day one contributor.

Do the grizzlies stick Ja in the corner and make their vets take all the shots?
what kind of impact is a player who needs the ball going to have in that type of system?
the knicks don't know what they are doing and have already gotten off to a bad start with RJ's development
dumbass knicks

 

[GunRanger]

Clippers picks are basically second rounders

 

[tremonthustler1]

Well if Knox doesn't take advantage of the free PT, decline his option.

 

[Wargames]

A pick swap in 21?

man fukking get Perry the fukk out of here

fukking Pendejos

We didn't even get Kabengele!?

Fam...I watch a LOT of games, I try to look into even second round draft options. I don't know that PG we got draft rights for (nice U-20 numbers I guess). This deadline is awful. No wonder they rushed a new FO signing and cleaned house. This is horrendous.

They don't have to Ja a point guard. And Ja is an elite prospect. The draft was Zion, Ja, *gap*, then R.J., Ja is already a baller he's having one of those special point guard rookie seasons. I wish he fell to us.

R.J. got a lot more flaws. Julius Randle is the one who is stunting his development the most. He needs to go ASAP. R.J. has still had a solid rookie season hopefully Randle, Portis, Payton and those guys are gone soon. R.J. needs to play with a good point guard who can play on and off the ball.

Lol that PG is never coming to America. That athletic Euro PG we took in the second round Jaramaz is still stashed over there. Those guys are fukking fillers in trades.

RJ was also considered an elite prospect and was projected to go #1 before Zion and Ja came into the picture
Please research into it
The only real flaw RJ has is his shooting and becoming more consistent at everything else like all rookies need to
Like I said, we have not gotten a chance to see how good RJ really is because how he has been used
Excuse me, I meant corneR J

Yeah I know but R.J.'s draft stock fell he got lapped by Zion and Ja. I have faith he will be good I ain't worried.

Nah he'll make it over fam...for Summer League

fixed it for you
I ain't worried that he won't be good
I think people underestimate how good he could potentially become
