Gonna wait to see it to believe that he's flashing strong, but consider me hopeful.

Cmon breh! You don;t have to see it to believe it. He had some great highlights last season, but I expect him to have his conditioning and timing on point this season.

Kolo is Puerto Rican and Loopy is Dominican.

Oh sh*t, I didn't know. I was going with the running joke that that was him

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

It's a sensitive topic...

But if I had to choose between a. a young woman wrongly accusing a young Black man of rape/sexual assault to get a pay check or b. a young Black man raping someone...

I'm hoping this is a scheme to get a check.

Either way, as I've said before, rape and race are two most misunderstood concepts in our society. Much like racism is much more complex ahn white's only water fountaints, rape is way more complex than "did she say no or not."

New-Look Knicks Open Camp in Search of Different Sides to the Triangle

Rose’s success last season in Chicago with center Pau Gasol, even with Rose playing at less than 100% for much of the year, offers a good blueprint. Rose passed to Gasol more frequently per minute than to any other teammate, and the tandem often created good pick-and-pop looks, leaving Gasol open for a midrange jumper. (In fact, 70% of Rose’s assists to Gasol ended with jump shots.) Only one point guard-big man tandem, Atlanta’s Jeff Teague and Al Horford, got more assists per game from the midrange area of the floor than Rose and Gasol, according to Stats LLC. Gasol, to his credit, was excellent from midrange, shooting 45.9%. But Porzingis, as a rookie, wasn’t far behind, hitting 43.9% of his attempts.

“The way that I play and how teams guard me, they usually put two people on me. And when they guard me like that … Pau had a lot of [open] shots, and made 12 to 14 points just off midrange shots,” Rose said when asked how he might activate Porzingis.

Of course, as Rose noted, Carmelo Anthony will be open on the other side of the floor—likely the right wing, since that’s his sweet spot. Rose prefers shooting from the left side when defenses overcommit to stop the pick-and-roll. In that situation, Lee, who has shot better than 40% on corner 3-pointers in his eight-year career, would likely drift into the left corner to prepare for a catch-and-shoot opportunity.

Best beatwriter for the Knicks ain't even a Knicks fan...this is where the pieces fitting make up for Rose's below average metrics last season (along with the fact that the eye injury dug him a hole that was too deep to escape when he healed up).
