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

What’s the catch? Frank playing the 2 so that’s the first one.

gotta take what we can get.
at least trey is a scoring guard with the ability to get his and he can catch and shoot.
trey can be ball dominant but atleast he has a purpose....mudiay be dribbling around in circles to throw up a brick

It would be logical to put the scorer as the 2 and the pg as the....forget it

I guess it aint too late. Wonder if the Mudiay experiment is over? Seems so.

i mean we know lebron is the point guard on the cavs but he also starts at power forward and small forward...granted its a stretch but you get what I mean.
frank gets more ball handling responsibilities alongside trey than he does with mudiay cause trey can be effective without holding the ball more than mudiay can.
We get to see if frank can put the clamps on bradley beal tonight

What are your thoughts on Wendell Carter Jr?

A lot of draft boards have him in the top 10, in that 8-10 range which is where the Knicks will likely end up. Idk about him tho

It gives me pause to pick him over some of the players that stand out more athletically but there's a lot to like about his game. He's got things like timing and passing awareness that you can't help but appreciate. It'd be a tough pill for me though because we'd have been just out of range for Bamba or JJJ who are the bigs I really like.

I understand the frustration but @ least Frank is starting

He better get the bulk of the mins tho, Hornacek been inconsistent with Frank's mins all damn season long

Frank will be on some all nba defensive teams. 19 years old, playing defense like that.

This dude Hardaway gave up a wide open three being lazy on defense, turned it over and then got his shot blocked all in quick succession...but is still out there. Awful habits that the Hawks eliminated are all back and it's like he never left out there right now.

Hardaway put up a front for the money. If the Hawks really thought he "got it" they would have kept him.

Need to replace Beasley for a stretch big(s) this offseason. Too many times he passes up on wide open threes for contested long twos or some questionable decisions even though he shoots at a high percentage albeit on a low volume. Floor spacers should be a priority.

I can understand Carter being in that 12-15th spot as far as draft slot goes but top 10? One mock draft I saw had him as high as 7th I just dont see it

The fact that the Knicks like Kornet makes me kinda worried about their ability to evaluate talent.

 

[nyknick]

What exactly was the thinking behind Mudiay move?

Let's get Mudiay here without making any adjustments to his game or his shot and just hope shots start falling

Exactly fam. He's a higher floor, lower ceiling type to me.
