I’m surprised at how quiet this thread is after tonight. lol.

The two threes looked real nice, hopefully he can continue to shoot like that.

How many games before the "he's a bust" folks eat crow?

Is Grady finally showing signs of life?

He played well the time before this too.

I thought the hate for Dick was a bit overblown. He didn't look like he didn't have talent, it looked like he lost his confidence. Even when the ball wasn't dropping I thought he made good cuts, passes and moved off ball well. He just needs to get stronger, more confident. I think he will have a big year next year. His mom was a NCAA coach, so obviously he has been well coached his whole life. He knows what it feels like to be on an NBA court and he will make those needed improvements.

Fans: You can't judge a player's performance after a handful of games.

Player plays well or poorly for a few games.

Fans: See, I told you he'd be _______.

5 assists and 3 stls the last 2 games is more than just a spot up shooter. he can do other things but obviously the shooting is what it's all predicated on. keep it simple and bring him along slowly. last 2 games were positives.

He's had a couple nice blocks in the G-League. Glad that he's turned the corner, hopefully he keeps the momentum going.

His face still makes him look like he's a 14/15 year old kid. It's pretty crazy seeing him next to guys like Thad, Randle, and Temple who are deep into their 30s.

Dick lasting 28 minutes is a joke that writes itself.

[Prestige]

The fans at MSG were laughing when he hit those shots. It was either hearing the announcer calling his name or seeing the name on the back of the jersey.

Julius Randle turned 29 in November.

That a good positive from this game. Just gotta keep working and keep building.
Darko gotta consistently feed him minutes.

His face looks 35+ though holy sheeet

He hit a few shots. Good for him. He clearly needs to work on his body. Sucks that we're going to have to wait till around year 3.

It's really hard to see him being able to hold his own defensively so that he can be a 30+ mpg player. Although i think he can be a decent team defender.

Seems you forgot a year 2 exists

He’s already producing in year one. Just keep letting him shooting the corner 3 and have him slowly build his strength and confidence. He won’t be perfect but i think he will get better sooner and faster than you think.

Quote the wrong guy?

Should've played the whole 4th with the way be was shooting tonight. Really happy he's turning a corner it seems. I hope he's just been getting used to the NBA 3 point line.

I think that is a big reason why they’ve got him shooting from the corners only now. Over time as strength goes up then I think he will shooting above the break.

Dick haters in shambles. Dude is looking like an NBA player now.
