Timmy is probably gonna get the bulk of minutes at sf now I think, he's better as a two but he does well enough as a sf to make it work. Regardless of his position though, the Knicks will have no choice but to make Timmy the sixth man if he keeps channeling the old JR Smith; breh's shot selection gives me some bad flashbacks
Man, if he was a good defender this could work, but he isn't. He's improved on the defensive end but he still leaves a lot to be desired, the match up on other end with him guarding opposing SF's would be very
to see.
Lee has been out of position all year playing the 3 but since he's a good defender he can hold his own. The only other backcourt player on this entire roster that could play the 3 and not be completely over-matched most nights is Dotson but he barely gets any time at all
Timmy at the 3 is not something I look forward to or want to see...but given the current roster it may be the only thing that makes sense going forward. If you want to get the most out of Mudiay and Ntilikina, you start and play both of them together. They both did pretty well tonight when paired together.
Burke can be the back up lead guard/first guard off the bench. Even when he was a ballin out for a few games, given his diminutive stature, I always thought that was the role best suited for him, back up PG. Hopefully he can provide some quality minutes in this role.
I kinda view Kornet in the same light as Burke, not much of a sample size for him, but I can see him fitting in as a quality back up. He's slow, unathletic, flat-footed....but you can't teach height & he's young. He can block shots and hit 3s. Hope to see more of him down the stretch.
Not trading Lee or O'Quinn proving to be more
by the day.
