There is legitimate support within the Knicks organization for Kenny Atkinson

After watching Pooch interview on Knicksfantv. I am fully aboard the Kenny to Knicks bandwagon

Kenny loves Frank and would def develop him. Maybe there would be hope for Knox as well.

Or maybe they were just decent when they were drafted...

Oh right. Sean Marks just sucks.

I dont think it has to be extremes. Marks has made good moves. And Kenny developed those players.

Harris was a middling NBA player and now is going to get 15-18 million a year for being one of the best shooters in the NBA (2nd round pick)

Dinwiddie was a blah second round pick in detroit and now he is a 20 and 7 player (2nd round pick)

Caris LeVert was a late first round pick with an injury history and was a 17-4-4 player (late 1st round pick)

He helped turned D-Lo from a failed top pick to an all-star.

If we are looking for someone to give a couple years to actually develop our young guys. I firmly believe Kenny would be the best option if that is the route we go in.

Supposed to get Kerr. Got Derek Fisher.

Supposed to get Budenholzer. Got David Fizdale.

Kerr is a product of having a insanely stacked roster. How much coaching is really required when your talent is just so much better than everybody else in the league

that's a fair point, but i do think that a coach is extremely relevant to a player taking their next steps. look at how our awful coaches have failed to nurture the raw talent on our squad, for instance

Edit: having said that, i think Thibs would get the best out of our squad too. the only reason i prefer Kenny is because it gives me confidence that our team's long-cursed PG position will be mended, no matter who is playing

Kenny or Thibs .. I’m ok with either one. For me it’s the assistant coaches. I want Miller and Stackhouse

I mean that would be a horrible take. But you are entilted to it.

That would suggest no coach is important or helps any players because we don't know if it was just growing into there abilities.

Miller with Stackhouse as top assistant/associate head coach could be an interesting alternative to K.A./Thibs

What will work better probably: Atkinson
What is the bigger move that seems telegraphed with Leon Rose's hiring: Thibs

So ... Thibs it is, Knicks it is.

Because they were so developed in their body and, more importantly, their soul.

You heathen.
