Great showing from our summer league vets. They clearly show they are too good to be out there. Now get them out of there and get them ready for training camp.

I need to see more from Keels and Montero. They should be getting the bulk of the minutes.
Maybe after the next game or they might let them play for those rings.

Did they shut down Obi and IQ last year?

Center is locked up with Mitch, IHart, and Sims
PG is locked up with Brunson, IQ, and Rose
PF is locked up with Randle and Obi

I think this is more or less the guys they bang with for a few seasons in those roles.

With the Wings the Knicks do have an interesting group of RJ, Fournier, Grimes, and Cam. Grimes is doing what he needs to get a chance to start and from there maybe force Fournier to the bench.

A real question is does going to the bench hurt Fournier’s value? At first I was like of course, but there might be teams that see his ability to score off the bench as more valuable than him being a starter. Mix in some draft picks and the Knicks might get a surprisingly good piece that shores up the wings and sets this team up for a few seasons.

Like forget the playoffs because I think they might be good enough for that as is. Imagine a Knicks team that is reliably good season in and out and has a stable roster!
