I was hoping this was the kid we would reach out to. Had 1st round potential a couple of years ago before the Ignite fiasco. Might be a solid 2 way project.


You see the fluidity in his movement and a bit in his handle, a good sign for some potential.

I've seen references to double post a lot. It must be some kind of high post + low post action. Requires two balls to run. Not sure if Dick Paint would help though.

And some slam dunk competition potential.

Granted, he won't help NY next year, but he's an interesting signing for longer term.
Go Knicks!! Go Mets!!

As for the Jets . . . just keep it entertaining.

Enough of the highlights...this is one of the few vids I found that show more than his break dunks...very undisciplined but also very young, and anyone who thinks he's better than MObi right now maybe hasn't seen enough of either play.


Although, I still can't hate because ...Dink

The head coaching search is a ruse. They're just making it seem like they did their due diligence before naming Rick Brunson as the H.N.I.C.

The slight downside of being a really good team is a shorter offseason and less time for the kids to develop. They’ll basically be off for 1 1/2 months before summer league starts and I’m sure they went on vacation or took a little time off after the season. Leaving them about a month to train for next season. Is that really enough time to add to your skillset?

You guys missed it....it was right there. Dick Pate.

Either derivative works
pate /pāt/
noun

The human head, especially the top of the head.
"a bald pate."
The mind or brain. The head of a person; the top, or crown, of the head.


or

Pâté (UK: /ˈpæteɪ/ PAT-ay, US: /pæˈteɪ, pɑː-/ pa(h)-TAY, French: [pɑte]) is a forcemeat.


Such a fail... :lol:

Luv those Knicks wrote:. . . As of today, that's in 2 weeks, that's coming up.

Knicks roster won't be announced for a while, but we can guess:

2024 picks: Dadiet, Kolek, Huk & McCullar I expect will be there.

2025 pick: Mohamed Diawara is confirmed.

James Nnaji (31st pick 2023 and part of the KAT trade) is confirmed That's 6.

Hugo Besson (58th pick 2022), acquitted in the Jericho Sims trade is possible, but I haven't seen that confirmed.

I don't know which other Euros might be possible. Jokubaitus already said he won't come over this summer.

Jacob Toppin?
Marjon Beauchamp?
Anton Watson?
Boo Buie?

Other invitees? It probably won't be announced as an official roster for a week, maybe longer. Don't know if everyone is healthy and I wonder if they'll have a coach by then.

Go Knicks!!


Think we should just let John Hart coach. Only problem is that we can't trade him for Giannis in that case :lol:
