The first game he was just getting a feel for his teammates that’s what every good PG/leader will/should do esp when the games are meaningless summer league. The second game, is more of what I expect to see from our lockdown 19 year old defensive floor general.

I have a feeling we start the season with a SL of

Robinson,Kornet,Noah?
Hezonja,beasley,?
Knox,Lee,hicks
Thjr,Dotson,tier
Frank,Burke,Mudiay

Will that be the youngest starting 5 in the league? I think Beasley comes back on another vet min deal, knicks could get Perry and fiz to talk him into it. Also I put Lee in there because he’s still on the team but wouldn’t be surprised if moved for a backup sf.

??? Is this the SL for 2019? Kanter starting at center. No way Robinson starts at center. Beasley not coming back this yr.

The more offensive players we have on this roster (KP, Kanter, Knox, Timmy, Burke, Mario) I think that increases the need for someone like Frank who can focus on little things like D, passing, spot up shooting and gradually build on his offense.

I think Burke is opening night starting PG! Burke was our best pg down the stretch....Dude was balling! If Burke continues to trend up,or even plays like he did last yr, no way Frank wrestles the PG position from him.

I agree Burke was balling and is better offensive player vs Frank.

I also think we will likely run out Timmy SG, Knox SF, Mario PF and Kanter --- or at least 3 of those 4 guys --- all four who are predominantly offense first players. I think Frank will start with the more heavy offensive laden players and a guy like Burke will be given free reign (at least early in the season) to be a big time scoring option off the bench.
