Fake stats, against fake opponents who have no players, same as last year. He's bad right now. He's played more minutes than anybody in his draft class except Ja Morant and his shooting numbers are basically the worst.


Yes because nobody else is playing those very same teams :lol:

That's not even his best stretch of the season, he was better earlier in the year


OK, well then compare RJ against the overall league average for shooting since it reflects all the attrition.

Oops ... he's still an utter and complete dumpster fire level trash shooter. Playing against Puerto Rican league level talent helps him seem more athletic for sure then you see him matched against the Raptors or Celtics real players and he looks like he's wearing cinder blocks on his feet.


He's not a shooter, he's a scorer but he has to play the role of a shooter because we have terrible floor spacing, bigs that clog the paint, a stagnant offense built around a black hole outdated PF type. Yet even under that circumstance, RJ has flashed potential and found ways to have very good games. Now if only we can actually put the right pieces around him to maximize him, that'd be great

jesus :lol:


I wish he was good, I do. But it was a 2 player draft. Did you watch him stand next to Scottie Barnes who does every single thing that RJ does better than RJ but is 3 inches taller and 30 lbs heavier? I mean, it is what it is, it's what he was at Duke actually.

more people want to complain about rj. he played worse in this game. when mitch was coming back from injury the first couple months he got killed on here.

more like the same people make the same posts about rj each and every GT + PG :lol:

but to mitch: I honestly thought that he is our most talented young player before the start of the 20/21 season. sadly, he doesn't develop any kind of skill and isn't as fast on d as he was in his first years.
maybe injury is still bothering him and he gets better over time. I am not out on him, but disappointed for sure..

Mitch hasnt developed any skill? He's the best rebounder on this team and the most selfless player. You won't see too many nights of gaudy numbers bc of the fact Mitch is one of fhe few players that actually BOXES OUT. Nobody else on the team does this. They try and get the rebound themselves which leads to a fight for the rebound and usually extra possessions for the opposing team.

He's a put back machine. If we had any player capable or I should say any COACH capable of getting Mitch the ball down low he'd easily have 15+ points a game. He's shown hes capable of catching the ball and either making the correct pass or finishing down low.

Hes the entire defense for this team. You don't see how many times a game hes out of position bc he has to help on drivers? Why do u think he doesn't get as many blocks as like Williams last night who everyone is raving about? Mitch doesn't just have to worry about one guy he has to cover for the entire team. I dont understand why this is so hard for Mitchs critics to understand

I just don't agree. He's not athletic and struggles to finish against any kind of length or athleticism. His right hand is bad. His first step is not great. He's an average NBA athlete from an explosion stand point. Where do get that he's a "scorer"? He can't make layups in traffic, can't shoot off the dribble deep, has no floater, can occasionally post up smaller wings.

He's had very good games but we've had the largest sample size besides Ja from that class and he's a historically terrible shooter. Kevin Knox had some good games, he's baked anus.

The amount of excuses people will make for “the kids” is hilarious to me. That’s why I know it’s more than just play well and fans will cheer or boo. If you’re a pet project kid that we drafted you can do no wrong. If you’re a vet free agent signing the deck is stacked so far against you because everybody wants to play their child and act like they’re being held back somehow

Randle is exactly what I thought he was. A mental weakling who wants to bask in the glory when fans are chanting “MVP” yet wants to sulk when other teammates get shine. Wants to give the thumbs down and tell the people paying his salary to STFU when we are honest about his performance and effort level.

Get this guy tf outta NY, man! He is no leader. He is a cancer.

He can hold that fake ass apology too. People wanted to crucify Baez and Lindor when they did this for the Mets. Management and ownership got on their ass.

Here on the Knicks, they type him up a phony apology as damage control. And fans over here acting like it’s all good.

Y’all really deserve this yayo-jawed bum! :lol:

He’s not really a scorer tho. Tatum coming out of Duke was a scorer. A scorer has a multitude of skills that he uses to get open and create shots for himself. RJ doesn’t have any legitimate dribble moves or a post game. He doesn’t create most of his looks and he depends on his height to get shots over his defenders. His points are down this season because he’s missing the wide open looks he was making last season. He lacks a quick first step and athleticism to be a good half court player and that’s not going to change.

You don't win a single game right now without Mitch.

Taj is a more complete player, but he can't buffer our defense down low like Mitch does.

Without Mitch we'd be getting blown out every night

He's got a lot of sharpening of his tools to do I'm not arguing that, but he's a scorer that's for sure. Nowhere close to a finished product but you can see that he's going to be real good at some point. Easily has shown the most out of any rookie drafted since Porzingis, but he doesn't have natural physical advantage that Porzingis came into the league with in terms of size. RJ is going to have to work for everything he's going to get in the NBA and that is going to pay off. I'll sit patiently and watch it all develop, y'all are crazy for giving up on him this early.
