I’m not worried about Deuce or Josh’s roles. They’ll be bench players by the end of the season if we’re healthy.

For all the Kolek talk, it’s Pacome’s role we need to be worried about, esp if OG is going to be playing as a 4… previous will be important too.


I don't even know why we even drafted Dadiet. Didn't we want him to stay in Europe?

Minutes and even more so positions aren’t set in stone.

Towns displayed post passing skills that should replace that aspect of iHart's game pretty well.

It was pretty much as I suggested several days ago when I said KAT will have a better passing game with his back to the basket compared to Randle whose passing was mostly going downhill or to bail out from double team coverage.

did some one say half empty Knicks? no habla ingles! :lol: Right CS? we only understand "half full knicks" :nod:

Some of the posters here say he didn’t look so good and his first game was not a good sign :roll: :noway: :rofl:

I'm not interested in the half empty knicks...I'm interested in the half full knicks spree....Lets go! :nod:

It will be a season for the ages.

Too much with the Nash comp. I’ll be happy if Kolek is even Tyus Jones level of PG.


A comp is more about the way the play, not the level they have reached.

Anyway, Nash didn't blow the league away when he first entered it either.

It is simply that Kolek has already a well-developed passing game that could end up being elite. Again, he led the nation in assists. This is not a stretch to say he may already be an advanced distributor.


Don’t want to put a ceiling on our rookie, but this is done every year with our young prospects. Comparisons with HoF players. I’m saying temper the expectations. Just hopeful that our rookie can be a solid backup PG. If he can be Tyus Jones on Memphis level, that would be the perfect backup to have. He was also an advanced distributor coming out of college and it took him a few years to get acclimated.


Again, it is a style, an archetype, a template, not a level or a straight comp. It is about whom they remind you of and that may be a launching point for discussing potential, ceiling, etc.

I shouldn't have to explain myself about this. It is strictly about the mold of player they fit. I think they have qualities similar to John Stockton. I'm not going to not make that comparison because one is a rookie and the other is a HOF player.

And as far as acclimation goes, we'll find out how much acclimation he needs when Thibs gets his minutes. The talking point has been how immediately he impacts the game whenever he is on the court. It was true today and in SL and we'll see in the regular season and playoffs to get the full answer. But he looks ready to contribute already and that is not jumping the gun to say so.

The guy passes the eye test in no way that I can recall one of our rookies showing in a long time. RJ was awful in his first SL. Quickley and Grimes were OK. Kolek is the only one in recent history I recall looking so sharp immediately. And, no, Knox in SL was not that sharp in case you're going to make that comparison.

He's 6'2 but with the hair, 6'6.

He wins MIH - Most Improved Hair. Largest volume increase and the color goes great with the Knicks uni, too.

I don’t agree. Terry Johnson looks like a Payne.

Knicks got a fleet of snipers off the bench to replace Divo's production and they are in 3 different style of players for different situational deployment. Cam is going to be the one who gets the hate from fans, there's always one role player that is the target of their ire and it's him.

After this brief display I am now less concerned about the bench guard shooting and scoring but the Knicks really do need a bench forward scoring option, Precious can score but he's not the type of guy who can just rip it from deep and really fill it up, maybe it's Warren?

Sims looks weird in 20...wtf is that all about?


I like the way Shamet plays, he cuts well and doesn't hesitate on his jumper. Where was Warren today?

I’m looking at the game now, two things
1. GODDAMN CAN KOLEK DROP DIMES
2. Shamet moves and cuts and relocates a lot

Sauces confirm that he is waiting for the full transformation to be complete to start negotiating his extension!

Dadiet didn't even play, that's how horrible he is. Another French failure.

I think the Knicks didn't even want him to come to the USA, but he and his agent recklessly insisted and now the Knicks are stuck with Frank 2.0

Fortunately, in spite of Dadiet and his agent trying to wreck Brock Aller's meticulously laid plans vis-a-vis the cap, Aller was able to work some magic and get Towns in while still being able to roster several vets.

However, the savings from Dadiet's roster spot were no doubt intended for a last vet like Morris etc, and those plans were ruined, so if the Knicks fail to achieve or you don't like how the bench is performing, all the blame should be placed on Dadiet, as frequently as possible, in each and every topic.

They could have paid Kolek 1.7m instead of 2m and had room for another vet.

When Shart found out we drafted Dadiet, he decided to take OKCs offer!
When Randle found out we drafted Dadiet, he turned down his extension!
When Donte found out we drafted Dadiet, he asked to be traded!
When Mitch found out we drafted Dadiet, he reinjured his ankle!

People would believe all of that except the last one. Mitch was injured when he injured his injury! Fuggin potato chip!
