Last 18/19 NY Knicks season transmission: "F*** all the haters from you to SAS" See y'all in '20

[BAMBA]

you can get hype for knox cause he's a whole 18 year old which projects out to possibly being our superstar wing
dotson missing a whole bunch of open 3s while he projects to being a 3 and D role player is a bit different. he's 24.
nothing to lose sleep over.
to compare the two is a reach.

Alright, I’ll ease up on the man for now.

But...

 

[ikbm]

everyone we draft is a project to some of you guys

knox has been called the most nba ready player from many scouts and so called experts( since that, and not how you play in an actual game determines if you are a project accordin to this thread)
he is not a project

good lord ...you just sit around looking for shyt to correct and STILL be wrong
there are multiple uses to the word project. One as a noun, one as a verb.
I used the verb

proj·ect
verb
verb: project; 3rd person present: projects; past tense: projected; past participle: projected; gerund or present participle: projecting
prəˈjekt/

    1.
    estimate or forecast (something) on the basis of present trends.
    "spending was projected at $72 million"
    synonyms:    forecast, predict, expect, estimate, calculate, reckon
    "profits are projected to rise"

saying someone who may PROJECT OUT to being something does not mean THEY ARE A PROJECT.
IS KNOX IS A SUPERSTAR NOW? NO. DOES HE HAVE THE POTENTIAL? YES.
who the fukk says an 18 year old is the most nba ready when everyone and their mama was using that description for mikal bridges calling him one of the safest picks in the draft.
What the hell are you talking about?

go be negative somewhere else famo

As bad as Dotson has looked so far, Id still give him the nod for a roster spot over Baker

Baker

so in order words, every player that gets drafted by any team in a project then. got u

 

[neph27]

nasty Knox in ya area

about to cause mass hysteria

 

[AntoineWalkerShimmy]

I know it’s only two summer league games, but we really might have something with Knox

 

[qnsfinest]

All those “fans” that booed knox on draft night are eating crow.

We definitely got one with him. We need to continue heading in this direction. Let these young boys grow. I wonder how far along frank would be today if we had a competent coaching staff last year

 

[I AM WARHOL]

Yall got one with Knox. For sure.

 

[seemorecizzy]

knox looks like a natural out there

Idk what to tell you bro.
if you cant differentiate between project(noun) and project(verb) theres no point in having this conversation.
Not every player comes into the league with the same floors and ceilings
knox from the looks of it may have an already high floor...with potential of a very high ceiling
will knox be the same player he is in 5 years? there's levels.
Just like some players have a larger hit or miss chance. like frank in your eyes. franks floor was low coming into the league but he has a high ceiling.
progression is subjective...you never know how someone can ultimately pan out.....which is why ....I quote myself here........I said "projects out to possibly being...."
mikal has a lower ceiling because he is 22 (4 years older than knox) he's further along in his development and plays solid defense.....but those things I named makes his floor high for a rookie.
mikal bridges would not be described as a project.
mikal bridges is more likely to be exactly who he is 5 years from now.

Baker

You better hope Baker is not on the Coli because he might ask you to pull up

i just dont think it makes sense to call an player that can start in the nba, and produce on a regular basic a project. to me, thats a nba ready player who is lookin to expand on his game every year just like any other great player in the league. not sayin that applies to knox yet, but the signs are good

i respect your opinion tho. the word project annoys me tho lol especially after he played a game like that

frank is a project cause he cant play in the league yet at a high level yet and is slowing developing.

I see what I have to do here. I'll have to tell you every time which form of the same word I'm using.

I didnt call kevin knox a project(noun)
I never did.
where did I call kevin knox a project(noun)
I said he can project(VERB USAGE) out to being a star
Do you get what I'm saying now?
here's an example.
kevin durant was never a project(noun) he was always a prodigy dating back to high school
What kevin durant projected(verb) out to being was far beyond what he was as a rookie....he became stronger, increased his handle, got a better left hand, became a better defender.
Do you get me now?
These are all things knox has to do.

 

[Daniel.]

Think there's some confusion over pro-ject and prah-ject in here.

The internet and word use is funny sometimes

Shiiiid, i aint afraid of no smoke from Ron Baker








@ that response tho. It'd be nice if Baker could find the stroke he had in college, he was actually a good shooter as a collegiate player. I wouldnt even care abt him takin up a roster spot if he could hit the occasional shot, but he cant so every time I see him on court I get instantly irritated lol
