I’m taking bj Boston #1 folks and it isn’t even close!!!!!!!

Ya’ll are absurdly critical of Boston. He looks fine. He’s finding his way, making some mistakes, but you see the elite flashes.

I can see BJ being a great sidekick to RJ tbh. Don’t think Boston is a potential #1 option but he can be a really good 2 like Paul George

Bostikilina having a good game?

It just feels wrong to draft a player named Boston

The best shooting guard prospect hasn’t even played yet - Jalen Green

Not at all. He had a nice dunk but overall he looks raw and erratic

Cade and Suggs at least early have been top of the list for me. They play at another level both skill wise and mental.

Dissappointed we can't see Green and Kuminga yet...not sure what is going to happen to the g-league season. I know they are talking bubble..but man they should be out there right now showing what they got at the college level.

Was watching Cade earlier and although I like him and he is talented and versatile, some things about his game are meh. First of all, he coasts a lot, plays at a very slow pace and doesn't look like he has the speed or burst even when he tries to push tempo. Second, he isn't really a perimeter player. He is very mid range and low post oriented. I'm starting to see a lot of Shaun Livingston in his game. Now, can he still have success in the league and become a star? Yeah absolutely, but I'm not sure how he'd fit on the Knicks honestly. I see Cade and RJ being almost redundant.

Cade is going to have to play on a team that has quality shooters and floor spacers around him so he can operate in his comfort zones. There might be more perimeter skill in his game than he's shown so far but right now I'm starting to question his fit with the guys we have.

I got Jalen Johnson up there too. That kid is so intriguing and his jumper mechanics look solid too where I can see him being a good shooter eventually.

he's not on my radar..we just picked obi. If we are picking high enough to get him I don't see us picking him with other big names on the board.

Boston sucks

That just feels good to say :lol:

Tron Carter · Post #837 » by **Tron Carter** » Wed Dec 2, 2020 4:07 am

smh bj making me look silly defending him right now.

I’m keeping faith but he’s definitely struggling a lil early.

Said something very similar the other day and it’s why I’m more into Suggs more for the Knicks. Cade plays bully ball exactly like RJ. Posting dudes up, driving to the hoop with guys attached to the hip. Suggs just has that burst you need as a primary ball handler. I kinda hope cade’s in like bad shape or something cuz I thought he looked slow out there too. He’s gotta get on the Steph curry dribble training regime or something cuz he needs to get more creative with the ball if he’s this slow all the time.

His fit on the Knicks is a different subject, I was talking about him in general as a prospect in this draft.

Still need to see the GLeague guys obviously but I really like what I've seen from JJ so far.

Boston doesn’t look like he’s ever played basketball before
