A Blown Knee & Flat Tires-Another NY Pothole Year: 17-18 Knicks Season Thread

[Wargames]

Also on another topic. Say the knicks Waive Noah in 2019 (maybe Lee too). Shouldn't the goal then be to get Kemba to come back to NYC?

Kemba/Tim/Frank would be a ill ass back court (With Frank playing minutes at the 1 & 2), Kanter and KP in the Front



All they need is a 3&D SF who can pass and that team is competing with everybody.

 

[Miles Davis]

I don’t see Kemba leaving.

I don’t see Kemba leaving.

You never know



He'll be 28, underrated amongst casual fans, on a team that isn't likely to be up and coming. KP would likely be the best player he plays with in his entire career. He's from the Bronx and they still love him out there, Tim and Frank would be the best back count partners he would likely ever play with if Tim doesn't regress and Frank improves his 3 pt shot.

Nothing wrong ring chasing at that point



Hornets are honestly a pretty crappy team outside of Kemba.

There’s speculation that the hornets should trade Kemba this year. We don’t have much to offer tho. Kanter might be our best asset but they don’t need him.

its only so far a 6'1 player can carry you in todays league as the best player





also hornacek sending lowkey shots

I just want Frank and Dotson getting quality minutes with KPWilly getting some burn Sessions and Noah not taking up money period

The Knicks problem is the inconsistent PG play. Jack is washed and Frank ain't ready. Frank isn't the first 19 year old to ever play in the league. Even the one's who didn't make an impact in their 1st year, you could see flashes of what they could become. I don't see any flashes that this guy is the long term solution at PG. A combo guard? Sure. A perimeter defensive ace? Sure. You're main playmaker? Absolutely not! Good court vision, but he doesn't have the handles to get to any spot on the floor at will to maximize that court vision. What PG can yall tell me in history came in with shaky handles and improved it enough to run a playoff team as a starter? I like that he's shooting the 3 ball with confidence. And I don't think Hornacek is telling him not to drive. At best, he's telling him he wants him to primarily focus on facilitating. But young Frank hasn't figured out you can drive AND facilitate off that as well. It's not like he's driving and defenders are keeping him out the lane. He's not even trying. He's picking up his dribble. The few times I've seen him drive it's on the baseline and he's not even looking at the rim. He'll usually be trying to force some goofy, unnecessary pass to KOQ who's trying to establish rebound position and not looking to corral some shovel pass from a foot away that shoulda been a shot. Yeah he's thinking too much but that's the same thing as being scared. If you're playing with confidence and fearlessly, what's there to think about?

Like somebody said a few posts ago (my bad), we need a guard that can penetrate and pass. Why are lobs to our 7'3 unicorn a rare sight? Look what Harden is doing for Capela. Imagine what Kemba and KP could do together. Move Frank to the 2. Frank is a secondary ball handler type. A good fit with Kemba if you need Kemba to get buckets on his matchup. If we can't get Kemba, we're definitely in play to draft a PG like Sexton, another aggressive PG that you can play next to Frank to maximize the things he IS good at.

I kinda knew KP wouldn't sustain his early season output. He's to frail. His ppg has dropped to under 25 and I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up around 21 or 22 ppg for the season. With shytty PGs like the Knicks have provided him thus far, I don't know if he's a true #1 on a contender.

The goal is to get Giannis in 2021

It's really disgraceful the low amount of threes the Knicks attempt, and shocking the record they have in part of it. I would add free throws as well.

No.

Courtney Lee should be taking 5-6 threes a game. I never understood why this dude doesn’t take more shots everywhere he’s been.

KP needs to take less midrange shots. More shots from 3 and at the rim.

Doug should be taking more than 2.8 threes a game, he can be an athletic Korver

Having a PG who could break down a defense and penetrate would help
