Yep... and now the Knicks need to unclog the paint by throwing Randle, Frank and Gibson into exile... just look at the three names I typed... why are they in anyones starting lineup?

Put a shooter at the 2, 3 and 4, Mitch at the 5... and run RJ at the 1. He is no less of a PG than Ja, Dame, Steph, Derrick Rose, Kemba, Russ, etc. There's very few Chris Pauls in this world. The kid has a good head on his shoulders and will figure it out. More importantly, he thrives when he has a physical advantage.. so why not make guards, guard him? It's might just work.

All in all, our current roster makes zero sense and has zero chance of over-performing... this is a big reason why we are near dead-last in team TS%, eFG% and many other offensive categories. We have a completely flawed strategic gameplan that is hurting RJ, DSJs and Knoxs value (although I think Knix is hopeless anyways). We need to spread the defense out (which we can see is not a current priority), add as many 3DC (3, D and create) guys as possible and make all personnel decisions based on RJ and Mitch.

Conversely, if personnel decisions are being made based on fit around Randle (which there's a good amount of evidence that they are)... instead of making personnel decisions based on the fit around RJ, they should be shot.... and RJ should leave as soon as he possibly can.

Yes. We need to unlock the awesomeness that is Dennis Smith jr.


That's what you got out of that? smdh The point is to unlock Barrett

It's not all I got out of it. I commented on the part that interested me. I'm not interested in the ways to unlock Evan Turner 2.0.

So, that's your position on RJ? lol Keep in mind, Evan Turner was at Ohio State because he was ranked 49th on the ESPNU100. He was not a big time HS or AAU player. RJ was number one. Not to mention, he re-classified and started college a year early. He should be a college freshman this year. Open the floor up and it will give him a chance to succeed.

Theres a difference this time. We got mad draft picks, young players and cap flexibility. We just need to play our cards right. We 2 years away from being playoff bound imo.

ROSTER

Walker Kessler/Daniel Gafford/Adem Bona
Nikola Jokic/Santi Aldama/Isaiah Stewart

Agreed. With the regular rules by now, game might have been a blowout at this point.

Thank Chris Paul for it. It's a similar format TBT Hoops uses.
