I'm very curious to see how they react against the elite teams of the league. How will Iso Zo play against teams with height like the Bucks? A lot of our guards aren't that bit I'm curious on how they do against someone like Boston

Respect fam and many thanks for sure, always appreciate the feedback from you guys.

Great point about how quick Fiz has been to adjust. Some heads on Realgm were saying THJ started driving out of the first timeout and thinking Fiz musta said something too. This is the sort of attention to detail to can go a long way and it's really promising. Fiz is gonna earn himself more rope if he keeps doing the things a coach should because we've been through so many coaches that didn't.

That Trier conversation is interesting. I'm hoping they already have some numbers worked out and are just waiting to see if they can trade someone before they announce the agreement but an agent can change plans quick if Trier is pumping in 15 ppg off the bench each night for a month.

Could we trade him?

And yeah I like him as a Knick but fukk losing talent for nothing.

So you want him to force his game on offense instead of letting it come to him naturally?:ohhh: Would you rather him be inefficient at 7/22 with 15 points instead of facilitating? You can’t grow offensively if you take a whole bunch of unnecessary shots. This is game 1. I rather have guards not respect his offense and when they not expecting it he sinks a dagger 3 pointer that leads us to victory.:shaq:

I don't want him take a whole bunch of shots, I just wanted to take more than two or three shots a game.

Fam that's a really good question. I'm not totally sure, had to Google it but it looks like we could. I'm not sure if the allowance to play with the pro team resets though and I'm also not sure if there'd be any limitations on the team that receives him to try and sign long term. That said, I really wanna keep this kid and see how Fiz develops him.

A lot of people are hyped over his performance but as far as I'm concerned it's the same old Hardaway. There were three 3pt attempts that were forced and contested. He doesn't know when to shoot and when to wait for a better opportunity for him or someone eles. He just throws it up because he can. Terrible decision making. I'm still rooting for him to succeed though.

Like I said, he's modern Starks - which is a good role, IF he can play with fire every night (his problem), but we're gonna need KP back for him to really excel.

He kind of is.
Dude will have a wide open dribble midrange dribble pull up and just dribble around aimlessly at the middle of the floor. He’ll be in a position to push the break and he’ll slow it down. His tendency to back rim shots let’s you know he’s aiming.

It was only the first game he looks much bigger and his ball handling is improved, he's put in the time but it starts mentally with him. He's a premier defender. I have him, Dejounte Murray, and Lonzo Ball winning All-Defensive teams for years to come. But we took him number 9 and we're going to need more from him offensively.

Nope, we want him to be aggressive. Attack the basket and not hesitate to take open shots.

Steve Nash gave this advice to Lonzo Ball, and it applies to Ntlikina too.
Nash told him (Ball), ‘When I started to score, that’s when my assists became better and easier … when I first came in the league, all I wanted to do was pass and make everybody happy. But when I figured out how to score, and make my layups, do all those things, that’s when I started to average 20 and 10.’

Thank you...you said it better than me. He has strength and size...USE THAT SHYT!

I'm not looking for Russel Westbrook, but c'mon man get in the game.

This is another rebuild year, and I want to see what he got.
