Bold predictions, Hardaway averages 20+ for the season, and either Kanter or Willy will average 16 and 10 for the season.
Agreed on THJ, I think his preseason was promising as a scorer.
Other bold (and not-so-bold) predictions:
- The yearly drama will fall on Jeff Hornacek's future with the Knicks and Blatt's name will resurface pretty quickly
- Unless Frank averages 12 and 8, the media will go out of their way to make Monk and Smith out to be better than him. Literally had Bondy tweeting about how productive Monk's been this preseason while he shot low 30% range from the field.
- Beasley will have the Derrick Williams vibe all year but as we're in a rebuild, I think he's a prime candidate for a deadline trade.
- Our PG rotation closes the season with Frank starting and Baker backing up.
- KOQ is a goner by the deadline and probably sooner. Too much logjam and the fascination with Kanter makes it even worse. The only other possibility is Willy gets dealt which would require a legit package seeing how often he's been referenced in the team's future plans.
- Damyean Dotson and Willy Hernangomez are both part of fan controversies because people want to see them get more minutes while the Knicks are shopping Lee, KOQ, Kanter.
