Porzingis shows some great footwork in his highlights which was great to see, however as nix and a few others pointed out they still struggled on getting Kp the ball and it looks like Gallo was at fault.

Ndour seems to have y'all over. 8 points on ten shots doesn't look like something I would be excited about but he rebounded very well and blocked a bunch of shots. I take it that his defense looked better than the last time right?

Early didn't seem to impress y'all. He had 13 points on 13 shots which is I dictating that he had trouble finishing? Yes? He rebounded very well though 9 boards and 3 assists.

Galloway didn't look that great did he? Shame.

He's a little out of shape- remember they shut him down after the hip injury- only started practicing again a day or two before summer league.

It's been said a few times- the reason Ndour agreed to play on our summer league team was because we were okay with his plans to play in europe this season.

I wonder if he meant he doesn’t want to go the Galloway route but would be okay if he was the 15th man who plays mostly DL but gets the occasional call up?

IF the knicks do not sign him now anyone can grab him later. If they like him they might need to lock him down before he gets away.

You would have to have a verbal, or gentleman's, agreement and hope that Ndour has more honor than D. Jordan, or Steve Kerr.

And Steve Kerr, who did pretty much the same thing but got praised as being smart for doing it.

Fixed it for you.

This is why I wouldn't do it especially if I could lock him into a 3yr deal w/team option. If he hits as a rotation player he becomes a value player as a Cap goes boom.

It's highly unlikely but what if the knicks could get 4 starter/rotation players on rookie contracts.

I think D.Jordan will force GMs to lock up players. NDour is an impact player that changes the game with his defense and energy. Hes not meassured by points....hes measured by steals....blocks...defense....and a momentum changer with his energy. Stats dont work for him and maybe that helps us to keep him hidden. Hes Balkman on steriods. A farried type....If we let him go he will get picked up by somebody else this season. We need that athleticism for defensive mis matches.....like taking Wear out and plugging Ndour in..... game changing lineup switch. He neutralized Randall who was planning on having a big day. Gallo....Grant...N'dour. ...and KPs defense is the reason we were up 19-4

Kirk actually saved Fisher from loosing this game...along with Grant.

He's going to europe for a year

I mean what, those plans couldn't change? What if he played well and we had the roster room to keep him? He's looked good so far. Thanasis is playing a step below (I don't think he's looked terrible though) but what if he really showed improvement as well? I personally think we should've held off on the LT/Amundson signings for now and maintained a little more roster flexibility for the time being for guys like these. Why rush to sign these two? LT and Lou would've been there in the end and if not, if someone came along and offered them something they couldn't refuse, no problem--they're each fully replaceable anyway. You wanna talk about good locker room guys, good practice players, whatever -- they're both non-essential players on this team.

I hope it's true and we have a gentleman's agreement with Ndour but if this guy continues to play well for us in SL and then overseas somewhere and some NBA team comes calling with an offer, how does he refuse that to maybe get a spot with the Knicks next year? What if someone offers him a spot right now, before SL's over? Would've been nice to have the roster flexibility to keep him.
