we could have more than kuz and billy, so i will hold off until the roster fills up.

of the two we have, i'm thinking kuz will see more PT and thus have more impact.

I'm going to go with Willy but just looking at the roster and opportunity its hard not to say Kuz + his playstyle meshes with what horny likes to do.

I agree with this, I think due to experience and playing time Kuz will have the biggest impact of currently signed "rookies". That said there are still more rookies out there I'd like to sign.

I think that the surprise rookie will be Baker

He's the most nba ready and has the chance to stand out with hustle, defense, and shot making off the bench.

I think he's gonna play with Jennings and we will be excited with what we see.

I think he's gonna out hustle and out play holiday

Definitely Kuz. He was signed to replace D-Will so he'll get those minutes and that role. I don't think Willy will play much. And Baker will likely spend most of the season in Westchester.

i thought this was a place where I could say which of the rookies would have the biggest impact, not a place where i had to repeat the conspiracy theory of the day

I think Kuz has the kind of athleticism that will translate well in the NBA, looks to be from that AK47 mold. I think he'll have the most immediate impact.

From what I've seen from him I think he's ready to compete at the nba level off the bench. He's a ball mover, moves great without the ball, defends and hustles.

He's not as skilled but I think he can be an energizer.

I think Kuz looks very talented but I think the size and speed and that SF / stretch 4 position is gonna be a little harder in the nba.

I could be wrong
I hope so

I also think he's a longer term player for us

Its kind of dead right now... Knicks should have had a Vegas SL team out there... could have found others... and see more from Baker and Randle.

With your subject Im assuming you only meant our rookies only...

Biggest Impact.. since we haven't sign another PF yet... I would say... Kuz.. 26yrs old, playing time looks to be available at both the 3/4 spots... so I expect him to definitely see him to get 22+ or more minutes a night..

I wonder if Baker really impresses in camp and if Holiday doesn't, that we might actually see Baker AND Randle on the team.
May the best guys win...
