By Fenderputty Go To PostI haven't seen to much of him by he looked serviceable tonight.
yeah I didn't see him passing horribly either
I'll still continue to argue that the difficulty of big men passing in the triangle is overblown. They're all really simple passes. Handoffs, back door cut bounce passes from the post, give and go's.
Rarely need to do cross court skip passes or passes on the move.

Russell seriously looked like red flag to me, seriously doesn't give any sign he can hang at NBA level
Didn't actually watch the game but did Russell LOOK bad? Or was he just missing shots. The TOs are bad but young PGs generally do struggle with that for a few seasons
This is why I will not troll Russell lol. I can already see KillaKris pinning Jah's shot against the board multiple times lol.
By unknown Go To Postknux we will see you tomorrow

By Zeus Ex Machina Go To PostI really like the Grant/Galloway back court duo.gallo has been playing like shit on the low these last two games. needs to step it up.
By masud Go To PostThanasis shot 20% on anything that wasn't a layup or dunk last year in the d league. I don't think he's an NBA player.
Yeah. I'd much rather have Kirk over him Thanasis. He showed some serious hustle out there today.

I give him credit on defense and the two of them together kept the ball moving.
By tom penny Go To PostI could match Russell's assist to turnover ratio in a summer league game.I'd normally chalk it up to "summer league" but EIGHT TURNOVERS to 1 assist is some shit
even guards wearing Sixers uniforms would be embarrassed

He was trying to do waay too much.
By Vahagn Go To PostKirk or Thanasis? C'mon knicks slaent.i want n dour and kirk : (
You still have 2.8 million to spend. Dream big!

He looked terrible and also arrogant with his bad passes, trying to blame them on his players.
Put it to you this way, Grant, drafted 19th, put up baby-LeBron numbers today across the box.
Russell, drafted 2nd, put up pre-Knicks, D-league Jeremy Lin numbers, with more turnovers.
It was bad.
By unknown Go To Posti want n dour and kirk : (
Kirk is a real possibility at a minimum deal, Ndour is going to eat into that 2.8 because he has offers already.
By Vahagn Go To PostKirk or Thanasis? C'mon knicks slaent.I want Ndour over either of them.

By Kuma Go To PostIs to too soon to shit on lakers fans for hyping up Randle and Russ looking like hot ass.
Yes. Russ needs at least a solid 20 games of real NBA time before he can be evaluated.
By Moris Go To PostExum playing tonight?
Nope.
By masud Go To PostI want Ndour over either of them.
Ndour has an awful shot, though. Jank. He's a big board crasher though, and capable of making great blocks. He's also explosive and has that kind of DeAndrea appeal to him.
Also haven't seen enough of his post game to judge. But him and Kirk would be ideal.
I said it way back that Randle needs to stop this run the break shit, he should only handle the ball beneath the 3 point line.
Russ needs to get leaner, he's like 15 pounds heavier than Clarkson at the same height. Being big don't really mean shit if you're not using your weight. I really want Russ just to make the smart pass and being smarter with the screen.

Damn sounds like Russell is having the exact issues I feared he might have.
You cant be a ball dominant player and not be able to get by dudes...

His d on Randall impressed me but that could have just been Randall being terrible.

That's Evan Turner's music...
Kirk sucks.
Knicks need defensive SF/SGs to put out by Carmelo. Thanasis fits, Kirk doesn't. The effing Cavs dumping Kirk should tell you about him. Don't be fooled by Summa League.. Thanasis was killing it on D in the D-League.
D-League season >>>>>>>> Summa League of 5 games.

By IWMTB19 Go To PostThat's Evan Turner's music…
I didn't want to say it because it is a lazy comparison due to Ohio State...I also thought Russell's jumper would make things easier..
still it is mad early.
Zach LaVine is horrible at basketball, Moris is shook af if that's already the bar.
I'm just trolling though.
I'm just trolling though.
Randle looking like T-Rob 2.0 as expected--maybe a little quicker first step, but still awkwardly trying to finish lazy low percentage shots over larger defenders or over the help defense. He's pure tweener mode--only guy recently who broke that shit was Draymond and he had to become defensive gawd and add a 3 pointer on a stacked as fuck team to even become relevant. If he were a hinkie pick he'd have been traded yesterday while he still had value.
I continue to not have strong opinions on Russ. I never liked him but the analytics disagreed with me. Knux expressed apprehension at one point as well.
Mudiay has really only showed he's an NBA player most likely, which I never said wouldn't be the case.
I think Jerian Grant was a terrible value pick with Portis on the board. Just very little chance his upside is higher than Portis.
There's no chance I'd have taken Kaminsky over Turner and Winslow even though I do like him. But he's a C and that's a problem because he can guard guys straight up very well but is going to be legit ass at cleaning up penetration and rim protection in general. Not a great pick.
Rozier pick was fucking awful imo, same with Delon Wright--which smelled like a pick meant to justify letting Lou walk rather than BPA.
I do like the way Kristaps moves. That's a really good thing. Really improves his ability to reach his ceiling.

By etiolation Go To PostWCS with 13 pts 8 rebs and 5 blocked shots.His best game yet and I missed it :(
The 5 PFs to go along with the blocks shows he's still got a ways to go adjusting to NBA athletes.
Did he attempt any mid-range jumpers?
By lovingsteam Go To PostBTW, don't mean to go all OT on y'all but it is halftime…
Serena Williams - Yay or Nay
been sayin i'd solo a run to mordor with the ring of power if serena serves as payment
the things i'd do to that ass
Seeing Towns play this bad while knowing he'll likely be the best player in this draft is easing my pain.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postbeen sayin i'd solo a run to mordor with the ring of power if serena serves as paymentHAHAHA OMG LOL!
the things i'd do to that ass
By Moris Go To PostTowns looking struggly tonight too.bruh
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostMudiay has really only showed he's an NBA player most likely, which I never said wouldn't be the case.Sure you didn't explicitiy say it but you were beating around that bush with the motherfucking hammer of Thor.
And he's looked way better than simply "NBA ready"
Top 5 from this draft class so far, easily
I'm watching you breh
Mudiay has been a pretty big surprise. His j is still jank but he looks natural out there.
By DY_nasty Go To Postbruhwhat the fuck do you want
its like a top lottery pick playing like shit in his first summer league is unprecedented.
im just gonna seat back and enjoy his development.

Porzy looked good too,
i was one of those people not mocking the knicks for picking him up.
If the lakers coaching and scouting staff were high on him, well shit,
so was I

10-8-3 with 5 turnovers on ass percentages, 11-5 and 4 on ass percentages in his debut

Glen Rice is way too free.
Definitely got that Jordan Crawford/Nick Young asshole too him.
I was hoping we could control it, but that shit was too stronk.

not even about the numbers tho
his range from 3 is ass and we knew that already, but everything else he advertised in those 12 games in China has been translated on the court here against NBA-level competition
dude just looks incredibly poised and comfortable out there, the kind of swagger that can't be taught and doesn't come just with more NBA experience
