Unless trading IQ is part of a big trade that brings us a star or an obvious upgrade, I'm not trading him.

This is a good 2 way NBA player who can score, rebound, shoot, disk and play both ends at a high level on a rookie contract. This is a super value commodity.Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: Unless its a star coming back IQ is looking more and more like a keeper. Brunson/Randle/RJ are all locked up for about $25mm. Mitch is $17 this year but he goes DOWN as it goes on. There is 100% a long term role for IQ here even if its 6th man/spot starter. The guy will be giving you 18/5/5 every night in 30 minutes off the bench and start 20 games for you when guys are out and likely be a crunch time player as well. Or maybe he's the next Donovan Mitchell. Whatever... Im just enjoying the arc on these guys. "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs

For kicks and giggles I compared IQs first three years of IQ to Chauncey Billups. I remember it took Billups a while to figure out the pick and roll as a young player. Stylistically, there games are different but they both share the same shot profiles. I also remember that Chauncey was one of the first guards to lean into the 3 point shot, which made his shooting percentage look rougher than they really were.
All in all, what I'm trying to say is that IQ is special and his game is going to round out like prime Allen Iverson. Book it  https://stathead.com/tiny/m94eY 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.

Billups was widely considered a bust until he got to Detroit and gelled really well with that unit. IQ reminds me of John Starks. Energy guy off the bench who can shoot and drive to the basket and on defense he plays bigger than he is. He’s just not as streaky. |

I also remember that Chauncey was one of the first guards to lean into the 3 point shot, which made his shooting percentage look rougher than they really were. John Starks is one of my all time favorite Knicks (like most here) but I believe IQ is on another level. "Versatile" isnt a word normally used to describe a player's ballhandling skills. But in IQ's case its appropriate. He can dribble while bouncing off the soles of his feet, like a boxer. A lifetime ago when I played playground bball in NY, One of my buddies who was a regular there could dribble like that. Like IQ, he was able to change directions in a heartbeat. Really tough to stop. IQ also can play flat footed, and has enough of a burst to make him a threat. When it comes to handles, right now, Grimes is like a Dodge Hellcat. Blisteringly fast in a straight line, has trouble is the corners. IQ is like a Porsche 911. Can do it all, just needs to be more reliable. You probably wont see IQ headbutting players. Also believe IQ is better suited for the starting lineup than Starks was. Tough to match Stark's heart though. |

Yeah, it took billups a few years, then he picked it up in Minnesota with KG and rehabilitated his career before going to Detroit. Part of Billups struggles was due to alcoholism and part of it was due to Rick Pitino being an idiot as a GM. I don't see Starks because he was way more athletic and met people at the rim. Also not as good of a ball handler. Starks was like a billionaires version of Austin Rivers. 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.
