"Who are the Knicks? Brunson, Brunson and some other Knickas" " - Official '23 NYK Offseason Thread

[Peter Popoff]

My fav player on the Knicks

One of the 2 of mine as well. He could do some damage on another team.

Many fans wanted to trade IQ. I want to keep IQ. Young cat is a baller.

Y'all wanna keep everybody and still get a superstar.

Tough decisions have to get made.

Thibs is really seeing this defense and decides not to put cam in is so fukked up.

Y’all act like Cam is good on defense

 

[ISO]

Not really, their whole squad is ass outside of Devin Vassell.

Keldon and Vassell>RJ

. There was no justification for having Grimes guarding that Sochan kid. I’m not sure how tall Sochan is but that height discrepancy was noticeable.

Keldon and Vassell>RJ

why did grimes go 1-10 from the field and get cooked on defense in the last 2 games?
keldon is older than rj and shoots worse from the field than rj
the biases are nasty. vassell is nice though

Sochan ain’t an offensive player.

Vassell yes, Keldon hell no.

Sochan ain’t an offensive player.

He dominated the whole first quarter with rebounds and backing grimes down. Alan Hahn and Breen noticed it to. They said it themselves they were bigger than us in every position

Yes, but he’s not an offensive player so I see why one would think they can get away with it.

To be fair Grimes is coming off what a 50 minute game.

See you shytting on Grimes a lot lately bro coming off 50 minutes and been banged up this year.

Keldon’s shot chart is better than RJ’s he’s miscast on a rebuilding team he isn’t as inefficient as the numbers suggest.

Age is irrelevant RJ is in year 4. I don’t know why nikkas still talking about age he is who he is. Keldon is less than a year “older”.

 

[ISO]

Vassell yes, Keldon hell no.

Why is that a hell no?

He's legitimately a lot of the same things we say RJ is, only difference is Keldon looks smoother while being mid. At best they're even imo.

Vassell is that dude though.

Them nikkas both ain’t it. Only difference is Keldon is legit miscast I say Spurs develop him and flip him. While RJ believes his own hype and so do his fans and organization.

I like Keldon’s game more because he doesn’t need the ball to be effective. Like you said he is smoother and has a quicker first step. Both have shaky jumper mechanics and are catch and shooters but Keldon can let it fly more and can hit threes above the break—RJ is still a corner shooter. Keldon is a big body can post up a bit and has is a strong cutter and he has hooks and floaters in his game.

I could see roles where Keldon could be efficient in the NBA ones where he isn’t taking 8 threes a game lol. For example before he had all this usage Keldon was 14/6/2 on 48/38/75 splits in 29 minutes, averages for his first three seasons. RJ I don’t see it because he’s a guy who needs to put up shots to get going and really has never played any other way than being a top dog.

When we face other young talent throughout the league it just magnifies how mediocre RJ is. If you can’t definitely say bro is better than Keldon Johnson than where we at with it?

Keldon also signed a more team friendly deal than RJ.

74M vs. 120M
