He's a good off-the ball player but Mikal is lightyears better.
Yes, he's young and has 4 years to catch up but he his work ethic is questionable so why does his age matter at all?
If we're lucky he'll be half as good as Mikal by the time he is 22. His eFG% is dreadful for a bigman largely due to all those mid-range shots he takes which are the least effective shot in basketball...
If you want to go for someone young and athletic with potential you take Michael Porter Jr and do not look back. How often do you get to take a potential #1 overall pick with the 9th pick in the draft?
Is Mikal dog years better now or do you still see him being light years better?

Early favorite for worst post of the year?

He made this stud Rip Hamilton essentially. Knox worked a lot on ball handling and is being way mor aggressive. He use to take contested shots not so far.

Re: Knicks Pick Knox @ 9 - Update PG 33 - Press Conference
Too many articles and too much praise too soon. Lets hope the media dials back calling Knox the future etc. He's shooting like 35% from the floor. Let the kid grow. Some of the things Ive seen written because of a few summer league games where he's shot the ball poorly is outright insane.

Dude, take it easy. He's had a few good SL games for God's sake. I've liked what I've seen so far and am obviously rooting for him, but geez, this isn't even the preseason we're talking about
After nearly 3 decades of Knicks fandom and all this organization has put me through, I will never apologize for being emotional and knee-jerk on draft night.

Dont you think robison is better equipped to guard stretch 4s than prozingis? Robinson is more agile and seems to have better lateral movement than KP.Clyde_Style wrote:blueNorange wrote:Clyde_Style wrote:Wally's description of what a SF should do was a very transparent critique of the many years we had to endure watching the position played inefficiently. He's right. Glad we have a player who fits that bill.
he's today's forward.
kristaps has no choice but to play center because knox on the block is a mismatch nightmare.
Robinson will play center
Technically, KP will be PF and Knox SF, but those designations are essentially meaningless now
None of these traditional descriptions apply when building long and athletic like this.
Knox clearly is going to be a guy who often starts a play outside the paint and goes inside with one or two steps. And applies to KP too to a lesser degree.
They will both alternate between posting up, driving or shooting over the top of people. Calling them SF or PF doesn't matter any longer.
Robinson is our center at the very least on defense. It is possible FIz schemes Robinson differently on offense, but the same things that apply to KP and Knox on offense also apply to Robinson too. He can flash into the paint for lobs, he'll be our # 1 putback scorer, but we know he has the stroke so basically he can fit into any offensive scheme that suits KP and Knox.
The primary distinction for Knox is he will break down defenses more than the other two, but where they start their sets will probably be completely fluid for all of them and largely situational in nature.

Knox has one bad game where he looked exhausted from the start now some people bringing up Mikal again.

Since we've seen him play more I've acknowledged that may be the case, but I also said it is probably more likely neither case and maybe more that both will move in and out.
People sometimes postulate the 5 as if it is some kind of static position where the center planted in the paint waiting to swat away the shots of guys coming into the lane.
Kanter fits that description in terms of camping out in the interior, but that results in boards, not rejections. But that either KP or Mitch will exclusively hold down the paint is probably more fantasy than reality. They'll both be mobile on D.
Further, I doubt KP is ever going to be as strong as MRob will become and while mobility is one consideration, durability is just as critical. And on that score, KP may not be the guy you want taking a pounding on the inside ALL the time. Some of the time perhaps.
Mostly, it seems like it will be more fluid than the schematic ideas we all like to throw around.
