That's unfair.

He was a negative on defense too!

I've heard of a one way and two way player but there also may be a no way player.

I am really disappointed in the dadiet pick thus far. Surely some other talent had to be there at 25

Wow, ya'll are extremely inpatient... He's got enough upside to take a bet on.

Maybe for the middle of the second round where he was projected to be picked…

Dadiet looks like he has raw talent and he's worth a shot. Meanwhile, we're going to love Kolek. Don't forget, though, Deuce is a great defender and we have no idea if Kolek or Jokubaitus can defend much.

If the Knicks had needed a wing to play this season Furphy would have been a better pick than Dadiet but I think the FO was hoping for a stash so now he's going to the G.

Is it just me or is Joku kinda brolic? Dude is solid for his size. He kinda reminds me of Deuce.

You still hope to see some kind of flash of talent.

I work at a news station in Milwaukee, and while everyone else was fixated on the RNC, my attention has been this game. :lol:

Thankfully, it was okay because we report on Kolek’s progress (Marquette).

This is the stuff he has shown for a while in Milwaukee, now he’s doing it as a Knick. Summer League is Summer League, but he’s consistently balled the same way he did as one of the best PGs in the nation. He’s tough. He is a leader. He can facilitate really well, but he’s got such a fun swagger when he’s making shots for himself. That’s not a summer fluke: that’s been his career in hoops.

I don’t know if he’ll ever be quick or strong enough to be truly great, but he doesn’t need to be. Be a capable general when called upon, that’s all. He’ll do that.

Regarding trading Deuce to get a big: I don’t think Tyler’s SL play makes that decision. That decision should be made based on the fact that Leon gave Deuce a team-friendly deal, with one of the reasons certainly being to make him a tradable asset, which he is. So, I’ve always considered him a guy you absolutely move for a better team fit — and I love the guy. The fact is, nobody near the bottom of the rotation can be untouchable when you are trying to build a championship team. We are…and it doesn’t hurt to have a guy like Tyler looking to get minutes.

Rather have just given Payne’s slot to Jokubaitis.

Time to **** or get off the pot on this guy.

On the flip side Kevin Knox looked like the second coming in summer league. Obviously I would rather have players play well buts it's not the end all be all.

He's one of the youngest out there gotta give him time. They took an upside play because he has size and projected to be a decent shooter.

i’m really interested in how mccullars will look when he finally gets back healthy. another intriguing prospect who might be more ready to contribute right away
