To keep it a buck based on his play in his career he’s not a max player and doesn’t compare favorably to the young guys that got it in my opinion.

I know he wants it and was fiending to average 20 points per game.
Gives me Randle vibes. I don't see him being consistent after the contract. I agree.

I think we’ll give it to him. He’s not a bytch like Randle and he really wants to be that guy although I don’t think he has the talent. I don’t see him living up to a max contract at all.

The expectations will expand in a major way for him better be ready. :francis:

Sadly yea and most ppl in this thread will agree with maxing him while I just say repackage him with Randle for an all star. That would get things back on track and potentially make this team a playoff team.

We maxing dude?



I'd resign him but 181 is a lot.

This is who got the max after their rookie deal.
  • Luka Doncic (Dallas)
  • Trae Young (Atlanta)
  • Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (OKC)
  • Michael Porter Jr. (Denver)
  • Donovan Mitchell (Utah)
  • Jayson Tatum (Boston)
  • Bam Adebayo (Miami)
  • De’Aaron Fox (Sacramento)
  • Ben Simmons (Philadelphia)
  • Jamal Murray (Denver)
  • Pascal Siakam (Toronto)
He's 21 and showed he got the right attitude. The young Knicks respect him. He's been hamstrung by Thibs and Randle.

He's improving steadily but you can still tell he's raw and needs another offseason. He's doing well setting picks and is a great rebounder though. Defensively is improving but still needs work and they need to make him work on his hook shot more. He never looks at the basket despite having it.
