Jimmy butler is a good physical comp.Chanel Bomber wrote:T-Mac was a generational athlete, he was far more explosive and smoother than RJ. He was the Glide’s successor. RJ is rougher, more like the Jimmy Butler type, or somewhere in between. That’s not a against him, T-Mac was in that 0.1%, much like his cousin. Skills-wise, I kinda see the comp though. The rare mix of scoring instincts and playmaking skills for a big wing.

Sounds like a good player, but for him, and that thought of trading for picks, I think the Knicks are still in that "get that top 2 players" mode. Yes, they had one in KP, but he's gone, whatever the story or take someone believes in.
Who knows what "top 2" or 3 are anymore? Look at Zion, for example. He could be a bust. Who knows if his frame can carry a locomotive train that can jump skyscrapers. His outside shot sucks too.
I think people get smitten with shiny objects. You watch, the pearls in this draft won't be the first three picks.
Pack up your crystal ball for a few months at least

If you've huffed four A/C units worth of freon.
Grant Hill was one of the 5 greatest college players ever and was an A+ NBA athlete prior to his ankle disintegrating. RJ isn't close to an A+ NBA athlete.

I was real hard on him after the first 3 1/2 games. I shut off the 3rd game...which looks like he played decent stat wise...after I tuned out. Beginning of the 4th game I was going in on him. Couldn't shoot ..dribble...defend...etc. I was mad!
He showed me good things in that game. I'm not as worried as I was going into that game. Can he put it all together? We'll see. I like the kid. I see more in him than I originally did. He wants to be a Knick. I'm rooting for him 100% It should be fun watching these kids grow together.

You can stop wiping egg from your face now. You got the message, but Wingo is still talking mad chit like trading RJ so we may have to beat his ass
Trading him? For who? Wingo may have dementia setting in. RIP magsAre We Ther Yet wrote:Clyde_Style wrote:Are We Ther Yet wrote:I think the kid has a great physical foundation to build on.
