How would anyone know if he whiffed? Zero minutes tonight plus he only played 3.9 minutes in previous NBA games.


He could very well be a nothing player, but some players take time to develop. There are so many examples of players needing time to figure it out. I think it's way too early to make a firm judgement on him. The same with Patrick.


Tonight would've been a perfect game to give him some time.

He was a 17/10/3 in the G-league... Yeah its the G-league but he was playing pretty well. Enough to get a chance.

If Pat gets 40 I’m counting this as a playoff win.

Fake edit: Hill does too whoops
Which should show you how irrelevant that stat is for the most part.

Well he still looks raw, but for a raw fella, Patrick can score the rock.

IMHO the negative critics still underestimate how raw he is. He looks SO mechanical sometimes. If these moves translate to a more subconscious level, along with off-ball awareness (a big issue for him), kid is an all star talent.

It is very hard imagining he gets on the same page at the same time as Demar/Zach though. IMO he needs a lot of high usage development, or just a lot of time.

Minnesota isn't dumb enough to let him go but I want this Knight kid on our team.

Knight isn't a rotation player so that's possible.

He could use the experience and even if he was terrible in this game it wouldn't matter (because ultimately this game doesn't matter). The benefit would be that the Bulls get to see how he does against other NBA players.

Rarely say this, but I’ve liked everything Stacy King has said today.

His handle looks tighter than I would’ve thought. Maybe even better than Zach’s at times.

We can't even inbound the basketball against the TWolves' bums, how much worse could it be with Marco in?

Let's have that same energy for Pat, seeing how he was the best player on the floor tonight.

That felt like a regular Bulls game from earlier.

What the heck is wrong w/ the starters.
