We aren't.

Off topic, but I caught the last video where you went to the auction with beer mug collection. Good stuff. I prolly would've dropped some dough if I was there.

Odds are not good given this draft position. As a fan its easy to then peg him as not going anywhere and some how feel good about ones self?
Like all knick players, I hope he astounds us in the future.
He has work to do.

You don't have to be Jerry West to see that if a kid is struggling this much in the G-League, than his NBA are low.

A glimpse of his stats or are you watching him?
What is he working on? How many times do we see in this knick culture guys struggle then hit a new level of play?
Is trevor struggling with his defense and it affecting his shooting? Is he taking a lot of shots? He is trying more playmaking duties and getting messed up making decisions? We saw this with IQ. No two are alike.

LIke I said, second rounders in large don’t make it. LIke I said, most of us are not equipped to render an opinion. Yet you took a stab at it with not facts other than a glimpse of his stats. True 19 year old.
Don’t have to be Jerry West or any great scout to see he is not starting in the NBA killing it. Likely knicks took a flyer long term on this kid. With our plethora of picks we can afford to.

The numbers say a lot. There are projections of a prospect's NBA value based off his G-League stats. The advent of the G-League Ignite and the age of the prospects coming into the league throw a wrinkle in these projections, but I'm guessing that it doesn't change things by much. Not that you need numbers to tell you that if a prospect sucks in the G-League, he's probably going to suck in the NBA. The eye test more than backs it up. Even in the few games I watched where he played decently I still wasn't seeing it. Heck, McBride scores less than Donald Trump without Viagra when he's on the big club. But he absolutely CRUSHES the G-League. Maybe Keels is a couple of years away and he'll show he can be an end of the bench guy. But, realistically,how many NBA teams invest that much time and energy on a late second round pick?

There are no stats for that!

If Jericho says he's cool, then case closed. Jericho rarely speaks, but he makes sure to make his words count when he does.

I agree with the sentiment that we would know by now if pick worked out.

Don’t we have 93 picks to make this year? Normally I’d say give him some runway to prove himself, but my guess is he’s off the roster in the offseason

Should have transferred schools like Grimes did.
