I'm actually a fan of some of your players and I've been thinking about your roster before my wizards faced them. You have a ton of decent guards but no stand outs. I'm a fan of Kevin Knox and this game was just growing pains. One thing he is is a scorer so having an off day isn't gonna last. He has all the tools.
I like dotson, hicks and bakers activity.. Trier too but its like the issue is you have enough players to make a good bench but question marks at the starting guards position, a young Sf who projects to be good. kristsps and Enes.
Hardaway always goes hard vs Beal BTW and has a decent showing.

When you guys say you want Zion..what position do you want him to play relative to Knox? kristsaps and Kanter? Any consideration for RJ Barrett? Enes I loved as a draft and wanted him but he got picked before my wizards did and we got Jan Vesely. So I've followed him. But I question nowadays if he's viable defensively on a high win team as its starting C.

Noah is finished breh. It was a terrible signing then and even worse now. Why will Noah play over Kanter or any of the other bigs?

Growing our core is priority #1 and Noah is not a part of that. Have him join the lakers for the minimum
He definitely is finished because he wasn't even given a chance to compete this off-season.

He shouldn't play over Kanter or Mitchell but should play over other bigs because he is way better than them. Kornet is pure garbage. Hicks looks ready for Latvia. Vonleh can't be properly assessed because he commits a foul 5 seconds into every possession. Hezonja looks lost on defense at small forward what the fukk is he going to do at 4?

This is not like the situation we had with Frank last year with Hornacek playing Jack and Sessions :scust: over him. We have no talent at 4 and 5 other than Kanter and Mitchell. All rookies hit a wall during the season, what do you think will happen to a 20 year old out of high school that relies on atheticism and effort? And Kanter is good for at least one crutch per season.

If Mozgov was able to be traded with just two second rounders there's a chance someone (Thibs) would've taken a chance on him if he showed he was servicable.

you've touched on in my opinion the 3 questions of the season
1) Should the Knicks go after a more traditional PG regardless if one of the guards they have plays well
2) Is KP a center or a PF or should they look to switch him on both for mismatches?
3) if KP is a center who would work with him at PF because KP isn't a big-time rebounder

Nobody knows the answer to these questions yet, they probably wont have an idea until like January.

Having 2 7 footers at the PF, C position works well when there's great athleticism. With that being said, I would position KP at the C and Mitch at the PF starting when he gets back. Knox and Hardaway or Frank at 2 is long and strong. Kanter would work well off second squad with Vonleh, Hezonja and Lee for consistency. Bootiay, :scustbless:Rosa park his ass to the last 30 seconds of the 4th quarter when the knicks are in the lead by 20 points.

KP is more of a skilled PF. He has shades of Dirk, KG, Gasol, Shrempf, Sampson.

While, Mitchell Robinson is more of a modern C with rim protection, ability to switch high P&R’s with great feet, rim rolling with shades of DeAndre Jordan, Tyson Chandler, Clint Capela, John Henson.
