“Cutthroat business, Our Defense Lifted/What is it, THE WINGS?!?" Official 2024 NY Knicks Thread

[ECA]

How is Quentin Grimes, Knicks brehs?

Does this guy play any D? Or is he just a little bench microwave scorer piece.

Really good defender

French Knicks have been cursed but he sounds kind of like a NYer with an accent but he grew up in France and Germany?

Maybe Leon has broken another knicks curse. Like he’s been playing ball since he was 7. His body needs to develop more than his game.

Best news I heard all offseason. THjr getting traded to a last place team

His defense is his best attribute. He'll give you quality defense against most PG's and a bunch of wings (bigger ones can shoot over him). His three-point shot has to be respected, though it can be a little streaky. As a rookie, he showed off a really good first step, which made him a pump fake and drive threat as well (but it wasn't visible last season).

You'll like him. He works his tail off, defends hard, stretches the floor, and helps in transition. I think yall won that trade.

side note because I just remembered this…. Grimes worked out with JJ Reddikk last summer and came back a worst player. Like JJ was hyping him up talking about I helped improve his catch and shoot, and he ghosted him when he started to struggle.

Not the fact we were able to resign OG and trade for Bridges?

Chill out.

I am def rooting for this kid but we KNOW McBride knows what it feels like to be clutch in the NBA Postseason. He isn't intimidated.
This kid looks pretty confident but that transition for a 6'1 PG in the postseason hits very different than the NCAA.

Well he has yet to show any playmaking upside so let's hope he improves in that area next season

Sending THJR to the basketball wasteland is nasty work...I really wondered what happened in Dallas behind the scenes.

Deuce's shorty is Hispanic.

He's a decent 3&D player but his 3 wasn't falling last year and if that happens he's basically useless since he doesn't do anything else
It's why he fell out the Knicks rotation last year and they dumped him to Detroit when he had a lot more value the year prior

They realized how useless he is if his J isn't falling, and how less likely that is if it isn't garbage time
