This is way I can’t take the Knick fans seriously. This guy is basing running the team on a damn video game. You can’t make this shyt up.

I'm basing it off of the eye test and actually watching Edwards play
He would fit well in a lineup like that
If you have ever read any of my posts, I don't base my basketball analysis off 2K
I just ran it in 2K for fun

I ran Frank, Edwards, RJ, Knox, and Mitch in 2K
It works seamlessly
If RJ reaches my ceiling for him, he and Edwards will be a great duo
He showed a little bit of it last night against Oladipo
He showed no problems breaking down an NBA defense last night
The main catalyst will be whether or not RJ can improve his shot
RJ also has great chemistry w/ Frank offensively and defensively
If the Knicks can get Cade Cunningham even better
Frank, Edwards, RJ, Cade, Mitch > Cade Cunningham, Frank, RJ, Deni, Mitch
Frank, RJ, Cade, Mitch, and possibly Edwards is a great defensive foundation

loved RJ’s game last night. Most wiggle I’ve seen him his game all season. I’m sure better spacing is helping but that’s what’s going to take him to Elite status.

Man i do that shyt all the time. Don’t listen to that nikka. We literally have nothing else to look forward to basketball wise.

The more we talk about a player the less likely we are to get them.

Nico Mannion welcome to the Knicks.

 

[Peter Popoff]

I'm just gonna leave this here. Good luck guys!

I'm starting to believe firing Fizdale this early was a terrible idea. The rookies had more minutes last season than this season.

Looks like RJ enjoys playing with Frank.

Nah. I'm not happy with Miller's distribution of minutes BUT he at least is putting the young guys in a position to succeed and/or learn. He's not saying one minute that defense will get you minutes and then starting non defensive players immediately after. This is consistency we never saw under Fizdale... And while we can be mad at what he's choosing to be consistent with, we can't be mad at him being consistent. The young guys are improving under him... That's the least we can ask for

Give up on those two bums

Frank played great last night

 

[Miles Davis]

Looks like RJ enjoys playing with Frank.

Cause he can actually play instead of be corneRJ.

I’m gonna say it for the thousandth time... whenever we get better players, Frank is gonna be hard to keep off the floor for all the non scoring things he brings to the table. It’s no coincidence that both franchise young players we’ve had raved about playing with frank while we insisted on surrounding them with high usage ball stoppers. I know Duke fans who explicitly root for Duke players in the league and less then a month into the season could already tell Frank is the PG RJ needs.
This Frank off ball revelation is a great welcome too.

The more I watch Tatum... The sadder I get.



For no particular reason...






But for many specific reasons, too

Word! We’ve been garbage for so long and all these years we’ve never drafted a sure-shot Star (outside of KP) it’s crazy when you think about it.

I love Tatum game.

James Wiseman

Wiseman has the highest ceiling alongside Ball, Edwards, and probably some other sleeper picks in this draft
Mitch doesn't necessarily need to be traded and could come off the bench as a super sub giving the Knicks an elite defensive rotation of Frank, Nesmith, RJ, Wiseman, Mitch, and Wooton
However, I can see the Knicks trading Mitch for something of good to great value

Frank will be great if the Knicks get Wiseman or Edwards and maybe even Ball

Imagine Frank/Nesmith/RJ/Knox?/Wiseman or Frank/Edwards/RJ/Knox?/Mitch next season and for the future
If the Knicks get Ball Frank can start at SG as he is shooting 37% from 3 when he starts
