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

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

Hope the Cavs use the Nets picks on him

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

The amount of us that love basketball growing up and is ingrained in the culture yet we're so atrocious as a team is

4 mins left, still no Frank. We got played.

Trey and Frank must gonna play nearly all of the 2nd half.

I jinxed it...kid found a rhythm. Edit: Nevermind

In all seriousness, I think Kornet could end up as decent, back up big. Nothing more, nothing less. A stretch 5 that can hit the 3ball efficiently and block some shots, not bad to have come off your bench for 15 mins a game, 20 if he's playing well or one of the other bigs is in foul trouble

man, mudiay doing the same shyt he did in denver and jeff hornacek will fall for it. hook, line, and sinker.

This has all the feel of a game where the Wizards are gonna wake up in the second half and we'll get a typical third quarter. Lethargic and sloppy play all over but the young guards all had nice halves which is good to see.

I don't think there's a solution for how slow footed he is and that makes me question if he can even be a rotation guy. He'd need to really sharpen his footwork otherwise he'll be a liability in most situations (barring a Boban Marjonovic is playing). But he has high effort, really nice range and his shot blocking isn't a fluke. In a rebuild without the cap space, I could see bringing him back to see what he can figure out.

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.

Beasley is yet another Knick who, on a winning team, would be a quality, off the bench role player. Appreciate what he's done this season, hope he gets $$$ this summer ......just not from us


Wish him well tho

Think he'd be a really nice fit on the Pelicans

Porter is really trying to get active. Frank has given him trouble all night. I'm hype about it.

 

[ProlificLurker]

4 mins left, still no Frank. We got played.

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

It's really a shame too, with his frame & athleticism he should be better than what he is, at minimum a rotational level player. Instead, after next season there is a high likelihood he'll be out of the league entirely. Terrible

 

[Wargames]

fukking idiots don't win this

 

[Miles Davis]

We gone pay heavily come June

 

[K-Deini]

Welp its settled. No moving up for us. 9th slot here we come. Hope it was worth it to win 5 extra games this year for hornacek and the front office. Hate this team.
