oh man, I think he is much more than Gallo. Much better passer for one.

when he is open at the 3pt line, I know when he shoots, its going in.

He needs to play every game. He is our best shooter and would help with spacing.

I tend to agree (especially after seeing him in the Olympics). That's where he showed he has the ability to carry a team - something Gallo never really showed IMO (though I admit I haven't watched much of him lately).

That said, Gallo has been an above average starter and had a nice NBA career... which is another way of saying I don't want to jinx nothin

But the ability is certainly there and as you point out, he is quite dynamic

Moving without the ball... getting open... getting steals....driving and finishing....

He needs to be a fixture already. Nothing more to prove

Very little not to love about Kuz.

I am a big fan of Kuz. He has a very high basketball IQ. He shoots it well and works hard.


He should be the starting 3 from now on.

KP, Melo, Kuz, Lee, Rose
Noah, KOQ, Holiday, Jennings, Baker

For me, Gallo's time on the Knicks was a disappointment; he was a below average bench player playing out of position at PG and was a lack luster SG but for 2-3 months at the beginning of last year.

Talking about the same Gallo? I think Supreme means Danillo.
I haven't seen much of him in Denver with all the injuries. Caught one game this year against Houston and was more impressed with Wilson Chandler following his injury recovery than Gallo.

He should be the starting 3 from now on.

KP, Melo, Kuz, Lee, Rose
Noah, KOQ, Holiday, Jennings, Baker

I would love this. If we are going to be bad on defense, let's be great on offense. Defense improves just with re-positioning alone, and offense will look smooth with all of the space. That should be the rotation for now.

I love that line up as well melo and KP become better defensively at the 4 & 5 the spacing is better....

I will say though Noah played great yesterday ... if he can keep that up we will be a better team with him.

I think he is rounding into form at this point. With KP's injury he definitely fits in the starting line up. I do like the idea of Kuz starting. Hard to say rotation wise if Lance or Kuz is the better fit. Kuz's defense is much better than advertised.

Noah can be a really good backup center. He's not a starter anymore. But he can still get his 20 mpg off the bench. Really, O'Quinn will probably have to be traded for help in another area. Maybe he can net us a combo forward, someone like PJ Tucker or even someone better. I don't want to trade him, but at some point, it's inevitable he can get back solid return, and his contract only has 1 more year after this, then it's a player option, which he will obviously decline and find a new contract. Noah and Willy will be primary centers off the bench, and Plumlee is there for depth. We don't need to deal O'Quinn now, but i don't see him being here long-term if we are smart enough to move Porzingis to the 5 and Melo to the 4. Seems like just too much depth at the center position, and we know we need help at the 1, 2, and 3 long-term.

right now OQuinn, Kuz, KP and Willy are the future frontcourt of this team. Melo expires in 2 years, and Noah's value is in what he brings to that group. That group can learn a lot of playing with Noah. I dont really care if this current team doesnt work or not. Its clumsy but we have good future pieces in those players I mentioned. Those 4 are worth investing in as a group. Im not sold on Baker but drafting a good wing would be a nice add to that group.
