"NYK will surprise the NBA"...I believe 'em too. 19-20 NYK Offseason Thread

[Peter Popoff]

He don’t gotta crossover or hit threes. But we was talking about offensive skill. Mitchell is an elite athlete he’s a long way from the offensively skilled centers.

If Mitch could do hook shots he’d take more than 3. To be good at hook shots you need strength to establish position that he does not have. You also need touch which he does not have. And you need to be effective with both hands over either shoulder which he isn’t yet. Right now Mitchell isn’t scoring if it’s not lobs and interior garbage buckets.

Na, he's gonna be nice this season because he'll have plenty of help with him. Last year, we had small guys and rookies.

Definitely did not know that last tidbit about Lowry

He can still fit into the rotation and get good minutes. A team of:

Dennis
Frank
Morris
Portis
Mitch

Can shut down a lot of offenses.

He doesn’t know how to buy a suit that fits either

We all knew Killa Frank had it in him to improve. I'm glad all of us in this thread stayed optimistic and never said a bad word about him...

Bruh, I love this team

I don’t want to get too excited and then have to adjust to Elfrid Payton being our main horse at PG. But bondy being positive on a slow day makes me do a double take.

Switch D Smith and Frank because Frank loves to pass which is something we sorely need. I'd like Knox there intstead of Morris if this is a starting unit

Can't have a starting unit without Randle so this would be a 2nd unit. I put Morris there for defense with Portis. This is 4 out of 5 great defenders that can possibly lockdown any team. Dennis is gonna be a problem this season.

So Kenny Wooten is the most obvious alternative. He looked good in Summer League, he has great athleticism and gave a bit of a Poor Man's Mitch vibe. You don't want to lose that just because the kid is raw.

BUT...An interesting name I saw brought up at Realgm is Jontay Porter. Dude has first round talent in Mr. Glass' body so far...but what's a two-way contract for if not to see if a kid with big upside can get right? Honestly, I don't think we have a need for Kadeem Allen. He's a solid third string PG but I don't see much upside. I'd go Wooten/Porter if I could choose.

P.S.
Just because I'm posting this doesn't mean I'm not still hating on ya boy. Just giving y'all hope.
