Cameron Payne will be pivotal for their bench…. Nobody talking about him but trust and believe

Facts

 

[storyteller]

Lonnie Walker and Justin Holiday name drops...Lonnie's a cool vet prospect, very athletic...developed under Pop for a while.

Pacome Dadiet will have a bigger role than anticipated this season due, in part, to the Knicks’ preseason injuries​

Even before those injuries, Dadiet’s play had surpassed the expectations of some in the organization. So my bold prediction here is that he won't be spending the season entirely in the G League. I think he'll have a role with the big club, particularly early on amid New York's injury issues. Also worth noting about bench units: As discussed on The Putback, I think the Knicks bench will benefit from the presence of Bridges. I can’t see the Knicks rolling out five-man bench lineups. I think Bridges or another starter will be on the floor with the reserves to help balance the unit. This should also give Bridges the opportunity to create with the ball in his hands/score often in half-court and flow.

One more bench prediction: I think Landry Shamet will avoid surgery on his dislocated shoulder and the Knicks will bring him back. I also think New York will eventually convert Ariel Hukporti’s two way deal to a standard contract.

i still think Pacome or Precious both make more sense with the starters than a trio of Hart, Bridges, and OG.

Lowkey Pacome off ball movement works great as a 5th starter PF cause he can open the floor and constantly cuts without needing the ball.

Pacome and Huk or both young but they both been playing adults for years now. In fact Pacome outplayed guys drafted higher than him before too.

Wow it’s finally here. Would absolutely love to stomp them Boston cacs at their ring ceremony night

I know thibs never would but I would love to see Pacome get that starting spot over Hart. Either at the 2 or 3.

Brunson
Pacome
Mikal
OG
KAT

Looks like a more balanced lineup with 5 players that can spread the floor and play without the ball. Let Hart get his rhythm and confidence back coming off the bench.

Pacome, Hokporty and Kolek are lowkey guys i wanna see on the bench.

Kolek, Cam, Duece, Dadiet, Hok could work.
