In the dentist chair Saturday at noon. Looking forward to the Knicks at 330, hey it beats other viewing material. Hope Dadiet and Diuwara play a few minutes.

Very impressed with Pate in this last game. Good balance between scoring and passing. He is raw, but there is talent there. If we are serious about developing talent, we should keep him.

Watching this Devone Grant (2-11) most specifically along with Ware/Baba & Bay chuck for 2-21 was particularly delightful.

He sure loves his left hand - that pass and every drive to the left.

He’s often clumsy and seems grounded to the floor (outside 1 alley oop dunk) but he’s interesting for sure.

His lateral quickness guarding the dribble looks suspect but his handle is intriguing because he can pass and wants to pass — just needs to get much stronger and really tighten up handle in traffic.

Kolek was pretty bad again today. 1-6 from 3 mostly not close and turned ball over first 2 times he touched it to start game.

For me it comes down to if Knicks can verify this kids heads in straight.

There were glaring effort, defensive and ball hogging issues with his time in gleague —— were those a mirage or still in his game?

Pate definitely earned a camp invite. He did a great job taking over PG duties from Kolek. Pates shooting numbers are ridiculously good also. Diawara is fun to watch. He’s here, he’s there, he’s everywhere.

If he's not ready, G-league would be the way to go. Work on his shot, and conditioning. Not that far removed from last season to expect a big jump in his game.

Agree, looks more ready than Kolek right now. As long as we find someone to make Clarkson an off guard, I'm good.

Chris Paul still hasnt signed, wish there was something that would get him to play in the East.

It would be huge to have Paul anchoring the second unit. Instant contenders. Selling him on being the final piece, would be a good place to start.

im excited about Mohamed Diawara

size, ball handling, vision, feel, defense, IQ. its all there. Just needs to become a decent shooter and that seems like something that will improve in time.

Diawara and Dadiet are going to be insane bench wing rotation players behind OG, Mikal, and Hart.

Dadiet hasnt shown anything too exciting, but its hard to look at Diaware and not think Siakam.

Siakam is a career 33% 3pt shooter on low volume, so I dont think Diawara even has to become good from 3, just decent and has to find a niche like Siakam did. Siakam was so raw as well.
