Mitch gonna average 10+ PPG this season just off open looks from DSJ. It's a shame Mudiay couldnt get the job done

Who was he gonna bench Knox for? Lance?

Why not? Were we playing for wins?

He was our best option at SF. Also so he can develop and get the experience. Its not that hard to grasp. Lol

Whether you like him or not. Muiday was better than Frank last season.

he really was not ...and dont get me wrong frank wasn't good either

but the proof is in the pudding, mudiay is on a 1 year deal for 1.73 million as a 3rd string point guard on the utah jazz...that's barely hanging on in the nba.

he's a reclamation project with a lot of potential...i'd bet frank if mysteriously found himself a free agent on july 1st would have gotten a better deal than that because he is certainly good at defense while mudiay is good at neither side of the ball.

That's pure speculation. But playing devil's advocate here, even in a hypothetical scenario where Frank found himself a free agent on july 1st and he got a better deal than that, it wouldn't be because of his defense, but because he is a much younger player with higher upside while mudiay is who he is at this point. Not because Frank was better last season. I hate you for making me defend Bootyay. :lol:

if mudiay is who he is ...and he was signed as a 3rd string point guard ...and i said 3rd string before i looked at their roster and well he may not make it to opening day , they have 2 other decent candidates at point guard (nigel williams goss who was their 2nd round pick in 2017 and justin wright-foreman who is their 2nd round pick this past draft to go with mike conley and his back up dante exum ...donovan mitchell can also play some pg

if he is who he is (i disagree btw and believe he has some very serious potential) then he isn't very good , he led the knicks to the worst record in the league ...they could have done that without him.

he is a bad week from spending his next year in turkey

but back to dennis smith jr. he is saying all the right things but his actions during the season thus far lead me not to believe him.

DSJ gotta have a no camera policy for situations like this

The person that recorded the video said this.

Guys, stop overreacting. He’s not at Knicks practice, he just showed up to my school to get some shots off. He was messing with his form a bit, he doesn’t have that hitch

either way, no camera policy should still apply. This prolly the last thing DSJ wants people to see anyways.

Yeah i think that’s why they made the guy stop recording. Don’t think he was allowed to be there

Oh no..... there's video of Junior missing a couple of free throws in some random gym, it's all over now!

so we gonna trust the 21 seconds of footage making him look bad over the dozens of minutes we have of his shot and overall game looking clean af?

Both samples of footage are mostly meaningless, since 1 is short and the other is highly edited.

That first free throw at 430 did not look clean at all. His free throw ugly AF. The second one is kind of a bad angle.
