1. Randle- I love his moxie.

2. Thibs- Great coach, man who has dedicated his life to his craft. A lot of respect
for that single minded level of focus. In year 3, more than half the players in the rotation were drafted by the team. Recent win streak has turned the narrative around.

3. RJ- tough call between him and JB. JB is a sure thing and RJ isn't. So every time I expect RJ to brick the shot and when he does hit it, I get more excited.

Honourable Mention:
Robinson's run
IQ's quirks
JB's smile

Julius Randle is the reason we’re no longer a laughing stock.

I’m going to ignore last year’s atrocity of a starting lineup, coupled with no-sleep Julius.

When Julius is right mentally, we can beat any team.

I basically root for Julius to be mentally right. Which resembles this…

My #2 pick is currently JB. Another guy that wanted to come to NY. Smart, crafty, and tough as nails.

#3 is whoever is playing the hardest on defense. So lately that would be Grimes or Mitch depending on the night.

Eventhough I still think the attention by you is unnecessary, it’s an open forum and your free to speak and say whatever you want, even if it’s all false 😂.

My top 3 players are????????????

Deuce
Deuce
Deuce

Like I said on our redundant conversation about Randles ejection.
It's all just opinions. My sarcastic sense of humor is easily disliked.
At the end of the day this is all ****s and giggles for most of us.
Reason why I mess with guys that take this too seriously. And at those that seem to be fixated on trolling. Especially when try to put their opinions over facts.

Think you are a true fan. Two true fans don't have to agree.

Excellent reply. You just increased in age. Not sure if you ever answered my age question but not necessary. But I agree 100%. I also think we might have similar current knick favorites. But I like dogs and 2 way players.

1)Grimes. Definitely my favorite right now. He’s everything I wanted Allan Houston to be on defense and just doing to little things that doesn’t show up in the stats. I love his adaptability to play with other stars without downgrading his own game. That’s hard to do but he does it well. Gives 100% energy on defense and stays shot ready on offense. Love his team friendly personality.

2) Brunson. He’s a DOG. Didn’t know much about him until his Dallas playoff series when Luca was out. Now I see him up close, he’s better than I thought. I love players that step their games up in crunch time. They elevate their approach and leadership. I like how he instantly fit in with RJ and Randle without being overly ****y about it. His quiet confidence is what I like in him and all of these guys.
3) Deuce. You know I’m not leaving him off this list. What’s not to like about this dude. From the bottom to the top. From being overlooked his entire career but allowing his hard work to be consistent. He understands what skill set is needed for him to have a career in the nba. He’s been coached by a thibs cloan in college with coach Higgins, who also has old school defensive expectations from his guards. And finally he’s very coachable with quiet confidence.

Honorary Mention
- Randle
- RJ
- Mitch
- IQ

I think RJ will pass Randle sometime soon. Just because RJ has to overcome so much. He’s far from perfect, but mistakes just roll off his shoulders. He can shoot 0-20 in the 1st half and 9-9 in the 3rd quarter. I love his energy and determination when playing downhill. You know where he’s going but still can’t stop it.

Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland. The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

Brunson heading for all-star voting and NY got his back

https://knicksfilmschool.substack.com/p/stairway-to-seven

He’s one of 11 players this season to play at least 15 games and average over 20 & 6, and the other 10 have all made at least one All-Star team. If the Knicks remain in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race, with the number of massive shots he’s hit (up to 4th in “clutch” points with 60, and with a higher field goal percentage than the three guys above him), I’d think he has to be New York’s representative in the game.

Brunson should make the All-star team. His main competition is Garland and Trae Young, but I think Brunson will hold his own. Plus, Knicks fans will vote Brunson in as a starter.

I'm guessing a 47.5 fg% is really good (geez Fox, 60%) but I wonder how that compares to the league average in "clutch" scenarios.

Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right. - The Tick

I think for that situation the league average is like 30%
