I dunno, as much as these euro cacs are constantly predictably shytty, I have a feeling this one may prove everyone wrong because everyone is usually wrong. Raw size and strength is often overrated big time in basketball. He's a perimeter guy not a low post bully.
perimeter guy?
what? he's gonna face up steph? lebron?
he is going to be an absolute LIABILITY on defense, combined with melos chubby ass who refuses to cross half court on d and does the caramel shuffle down the floor like he's been shot every time the other team starts running. No wonder Melo's been injured--Spurs changed the league when the beat the Heat in the finals, the 3 ball is here to stay and rather than going small, the Knicks made the absolute worst pick in the history of the NBA.
Let me ask you this: how is this guy gonna do anything against the Warriors? How's Melo gonna do anything against the Warriors?
40% of the Knicks starting 5 is not just worse than, but is an absolute liability in defending, ANYONE on GS.
So, straight away, you can throw next season in the trash for the Knicks, and likely the 2-3 seasons following that.
There's building for the future, and there's being behind the times.
Picking a guy who can't defend the post OR the perimeter, and won't be able to create his own shot when a f*cking 175 pound 3 could probably push him out to the perimeter based on BMI alone... and yep--knicks still suck.
just put steve nash and jjames harden on there and lets watch them play like a bunch of 40 year olds st the ymca after 4 games of 21 on defense
at lateral quickness bein a strength of this dude I dunno what tape u was watchin b
