Agreed. Bazemore, Fournier, or Crabbe. Must get one of those 3 players. Maybe Augustine, Vasquez, or Chalmers can share time with Grant at PG on a 1-year contract. Galloway, if resigned, can play mostly backup SG. Anything we get from Wroten is a bonus. |

Well the thing about Wroten, if he's healthy, is that he's not a blend in guy. If he's on the floor he's gonna be pushing and making things happen. I'm curious to see what Horn can do for our guards in terms of developing them. A kid like Wroten has so much Physical talent. The Speed, handles and explosion is gonna be a plus in Horn's style of uptempo offense IMO. If the paint is open he's getting dunks! Believe me you want his speed pushing the ball and attacking the basket in the halfcourt. I can see a kid like Wroten thriving in Horn's system as would Grant and Gallo IMO. All of them are at their best pushing the ball and attacking off Picks. Then if you add a Bazemore, Fournier or Crabbe type SG that seems like a great combination for how Horn likes to play. |

Wroten and Grant can push the ball but Hornacek wants guys that can shoot the ball as well which as we know Wroten and Grant can't do, Grant is working with C.Jackson and got better with his shooting in his last few games but we definitely need 1 or 2 shooters in free agency. |

Yeah he definitely needs shooters. Adding Bazemore, Crabbe, or Fournier will solve that problem to an extent, but we will probably need to add a backup guard who can shoot too. |

Exactly. Phil hasn't been unaware of this Wroten has been working daily with H2O as well. So I would guess all of our young guards were instructed to work HEAVILY on their jumpers. I suspect that SG's that can hit the 3 remains a HUGE target for Phil this summer. We have the dribble penetration with Grant and Wroten and whoever else Phil adds will likely have to have the ability to penetrate as well as shoot. We also still have Jose who can be a SG off the bench. |

He might be someone we could pick off because GS has so much talent and may not wish to spend too much on him. I have been paying attention to him in the playoffs when he's comes in the games. |

You have to hope the plan is to try and get Fournier or Allen Crabbe as the 3rd legit guard. Also Gerald Green is a UFA who shouldn't cost a lot to acquire. Also I looked into Hill and even though the Pacers do have cap space some weird provision in the CBA doesn't allow them to match a offer made for him for more than 2.5 Million. The goal should be to try and lock up some young guys with upside and see if they can benefit from playing in whatever system Hornecek uses. The algorithm gives and the algorithm takes away

Holy shyt....sshhhhh, are you crazy bringing that name up on here?? lol I wonder if Hornacek is gonna want to keep Jose around next year or not. It will most likely come down to if Phil will need the money he can get from stretching Jose to sign free agents. |

You have to be careful with players on a team like GS because they can look much better than they really are when the other teams are paying more attention to the other guys on the court with him when he's out there. |

G.Green played his best when he was playing for Hornacek in Phoenix but he was a bench player for them and i don't see him as anything more than a bench player. I like S.Hill more than i like Green. |

I would suggest not to expect too much from Wroten. With reference to the past records in the last few season, he did not play many games. And he is a combo guard who cannot shoot on a reliable basis. Well, I hope he proves me wrong for sure. |

I completely disagree with this notion that we should not expect much from Wroten. His shooting has been bad but if that was all he could do then that would be more of a problem. Fortunately he can do a lot of important things like pushing the ball, breaking down a defense and getting to the rim at will and he passes well enough. He's going to be able to work off screens, dribble handoffs and PnR and set up his teammates a LOT. He would give us another long and quick perimeter defender as well. Wroten has to improve his 3pt and FT shooting. He barely ever takes midrange shots. He's either getting layups or taking 3's. He just has to get better shooting 3's and FT's. I'm not expecting miracles, but if he can make decent improvement I think he'll be a very positive addition. |

If the Knicks help him master that 3 pt shot he could definitely come off the bench and be a major contributor as a 3/4. The algorithm gives and the algorithm takes away

I see the Knicks targeting Evan Turner. I'd love to get Fournier, but I don't see us poaching an RFA.
I think Brandon Jennings has a ton of upside potential. His WS/48 from last season (14-15) in DET, before his injury, was .138, which is higher than anyone on that Free Agent list above not named Durant, DeRozan, and Conley. ¿ △ ?

It depends on the price for these players. However, it's striking how bad the options for a top player are besides Durant.
