Put Some Hornacek On Our Game: 2016 New York Knicks Offseason Thread

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Who's playing better than melo on the team ? Let me guess KD

Dude is so full of sh*t

 

[CantStop]

I know it's hard teaching an hold dog new tricks but D Rose needs to stop passing during his jump...

If he works on that... we'll be even better.

You clearly don't know what Phil Jackson thoughts are on jump passing. Phil is actually a fan of jump passes because you get a better angle for passes. Kobe did it all the time when Phil was coaching. There's a reason why European PGs do it so often, it's actually an advantage.

Lithuania's playing Spain today, get to see some Kuzmiskas and Hernangomez.

Billy struggled early but improved as he got into the flow of things later on. Kuz is an offensive weapon, lil worrisome defender...He's not the same player as D-Will by any means, but the offensive versatility and mentality with questionable defensive skills fits the mold. But we gon' need it to translate against NBA caliber athletes.

Yeah, the questionable defense kinda stood out even in his breakout game against Argentina. His transition one on one defense was pretty terrible, he got beat off the dribble handily by Andres Nocioni lol. Hopefully he won't be put in that position often.

LMFAO!

Yeah fam, the variables are plentiful. If Melo doesn't lose this rhythm, granted to quality of passers he'll be surrounded by, it's an exciting prospect. Plus Melo's commanding all of the attention and talk right now, but KP's improvement is probably the biggest wild card in the box. I'm pretty optimistic that he'll be making some strides.

Side Note: You seen Lithuania rock? This dude Kuzminskas is intriguing as hell.

I have a lot of questions about whether you can put him on the floor because of his defense... but I like him as a theory. I think he's the kind of overseas free agent you want to grab. Young, athletic, still developing.

People want to compare him to Gallo, but Gallo never had athletism because of his back (and other injuries)
This dude Mindy reminds me of a young Hedo Turkgolu without the passing ability but with a post game. He would a natural fit with a high post passing big like KOQ and a fast breaking guard like Jennings off the bench.

Yeah, he's got some interesting tools. The question is whether we'll be able to put him in a position to succeed. His defense and defensive awareness right now are pretty brutal. But he's great on offense in transition, and he works so well off the ball, he can get you easy points if he's playing with aware passer (which the knicks now happen to have) -- his spot up jumper is also much more advanced than I had seen one or two years ago. Hopefully the extra distance doesn't hurt it too much.

Not gonna lie fellas....the more I think of it

The nba NEEDS to have a Cavs-Knicks ECF happen.....

I see the Cavs being the 1 or 2 seed by the time the playoffs come around.....

So I need yall to be in the middle of the conference so that yall dont meet Bron in the first round....

Of course I nor anyone really knows how this Knicks squad will fit together until maybe 35 games in..assuming yall have good luck health wise.

The storylines for that ECF are just too good man....
