Sources: Legitimate support within Knicks organization for Kenny Atkinson as head coach

There's still hope for Atkinson. I think he's the best option considering our youth. But I'm not super hype on anyone.

Every NBA player looks great shooting in a gym by themselves.

Me personally I don't want to see Money Making Mitch out there. He needs to get his ass back down to the block and develop a low post game, a baby hook man something.

I was about to say the same thing. But it's even a bigger waste of time because he won't even attempt a 3 during the game. He was passing up wide open jump shots during summer league so I'll bet anything that he won't have more than 5 three point attempts the whole next season.

First thing he should be working on is not committing dumbass fouls and then like you said some low post moves and baby hooks so he can score easily after getting an offensive rebound.

Mitch needs a solid mid range game to keep defenses honest. Too may times he’s wide open and he doesn’t attempt a shot. He just looks to pass. Guys would lay off and dare him to shoot and he doesn’t.

If he had a mid range, he'd be averaging Anthony Davis numbers with ease. I been saying that.

It's the coaching combined with the developmental staff which is why I threw in the towel.

They brought in Rasheed Wallace to coach him for half a day

Wish they could've borrowed Duncan or KG, lol.

I'm more interested in Udoka and Delaney than I am most of the retreads we've heard come up.

More or less the same just with Atkinson still in the mix.

Exactly how I'm feeling. Atkinson's the one name that kept me from saying "all the retreads" instead of "most."
