Speaking of DSJ’s athleticism, I thought this clip was cool



If only having great athleticism for dunks was something i cared about from my point guard then i'd think we already had our starting point guard on the team. Unfortunately i need much more from my starting PG if we're gonna actually win.

I see him as more of a SF especially since we already have Dotson and Trier there. RJ has some good passing skills and can run a PnR. The shooting - just like with Zion - will be a work in progress. But the upside is there. RJ also has the most market value if we're considering trading it.

If we want someone who can come in and play/start, then we should trade down and get Hunter and acquire another asset.



Wha???? Are you saying that R.J. isn’t ready to come in and start?


If he doesn't improve his jumpshot he may struggle not having the ball in his hands. I don't know if he would start or not. But if kyrie and kd are here rj' s role is going to change drastically.

harden was more advanced and he he was more well equipped for the NBA because he had a much better jumpshot than rj coming out of college and even he struggled his rookie year. It's already hard enough making the jump from college to the nba, having an unreliable jumpshot makes it even harder. Look at lonzo and fultz, guys that were drafted high but struggled because they couldn't shoot.



So did Kobe, Zion and Morant cant shoot either...

Knicks have no alphas but let’s skip over the only clear leader/Alpha. Dude was the leader over Zion period!! For some role player. Who would go in the second half of the lottery.

If any other team had the 3rd pick their wouldn’t be a discussion but this is the Knicks fan base. Take bpa and stop with all this trade down ish. Only team that should be talking trade down is the lakers.

Expecting a break out year next season. He has all the tools to be a star PG. It's great to see he's focused on shooting/conditioning. That's what he needs to work on the most.

Irregardless of who we draft or acquire as a big fish, this team will need more shooting.

Front office has said that is a focus. Wouldn’t be shocked if the second rounder is a shooter. Any big fish we have wouldn’t have a problem shooting. Dotson and Knox should take a leap as well.

Sure. Or another trade happens. But we'll need more than a rookie.

I don’t know who the big fish would be but I mentioned Darren Collison. It’s hard to tell until we see where we stand with the big fish.

I would think some teams especially Phoenix and Chicago would be having serious debate about who to draft at #3 with both of them giving serious consideration to taking D.Garland.

Definitely needs to focus on his shooting even at the free throw line and might even be able to say especially at the free throw line if he wants to finish close games on the floor.

None of that really means much, plenty of guys are great at the high school level never pan out, and playing for Duke doesn't do anything for me. Okafor played for Duke, how's he doing?

Plus, citing his volume stats without mentioning his mediocre at best efficiency and lack of defense isn't a good argument

You are not very bright or intuitive


That's a personal attack

It retorts the notion that he is not a winner, as mentioned by the Poster I quoted.
he has played on the biggest stages.

Kobe wasnt super efficient but he was a winner

as for volume stats, he had 38 pts on 18 shots.
15 Rebs translates
