Mid Season Report Cards

[B8RcDeMktfxC]

Are KAT and Brunson in top 10 current players? Jokic, Giannis, SGA, Luka, JT? I can't think of anyone decidedly better than them.

You can prob make an argument for Brunson as a top 10 player somehow. KAT is in that top 15-20 range

Absolutely. I think they are both fantastic players. Arugably the Knicks have the best top-2 pair in the league. I'm a huge JB fan and have been very impressed by KAT this year. When Mitch comes back I expect KAT to be even better. If you wanted to tell me that KAT will be the second best big itl this year, I'd be all ears. (Giannis would also have a shout, obviously, even though I dislike his game.)

But, I mean, Jokic is on a five year (at least) streak of being absurdly better than anyone else in the league.

It took me a long time - from 2014 until let's say 2019 to really accept that. But it's a thing.

He's already in top x, where x is a number less than or equal to 5, of all time.

I mean you can probably chose any two of the Celtics triumv of Tatum-Brown-Porzingis to compete as top-2 combo, but w/e. I guess now, Luka and LeBron as well, maybe Durant and Booker.

Right. God forfend, but it Jokic had a season ending injury tomorrow what is the %chance that KAT is MVP?

Spoiler:

0%

Never said he was a favorite to win MVP, being top 5 is pretty special...

Getting votes and being in the discussion makes one an MVP candidate. Period. There's nothing further to discuss. Not all candidates win. Is it really that complicated?

New York Knicks are the only team with two players in the top 10 for MVP conversation.





Relative to the talent level it seems like this team is underachieving when facing .500 teams. Thibs needs to step up his coaching. I do not want to see the Knicks underperform in the playoffs.

Not good enough to win with that.

The issue at hand is depth and role. Brunson and KAT are great. Gotta put pieces around them the compliment. IMO a starter has to go to the bench, we need a C rotation of Mitch/Precious/Huk
KAT at the 4 and Hart as a 6th man solves a lot of problems.

I wouldn't be opposed to it. Having a versatile roster is a good thing. We would't really need to alter the starting lineup. We just need Mitch available for 20mpg and stagger the rotations. Whatever the matchup demands. Hoping to see the team fully healthy at some point.
