Outside of the team's established 7 from last year (big 4 + Hart, Mitch and Deuce), who do you expect is going to emerge as your favorite eighth man this year?
Landry Shamet (feel good story)
Clarkson (gunslinger, former 6MOY)
Yabusele (high % big man)
Dadiet (second year first rounder, can he impact in real minutes?)
Kolek (does he stick? Can he have a second year turn around?)
Brogdon (2023 6MOY, former 50-40-90 shooter)
Hukporti (does a little bit of everything as a center)

Yeah, Shamet was killing it on both ends. Lots of stops when he was guarding point of attack. Kolek has been looking better and better. He was a part of that run in the third against the Bucks.
Everything you have ever wanted is on the other side of fear- George Adair

Interesting that Yabu got over 50% of the vote. Bummer he hasn't earned it.

Fans jumped on the hype train. I will continue to repeat this…Knicks should have kept Precious. Continuity and familiarity is just as important (ask the Pacers)
Hope Yabusele proves me wrong.

I also liked Precious for the backup PF role.

Clarkson and Yabu both growing on me. Clarkson looks like a better IQ

Yabu also gives us some much needed toughness off the bench.

I think the obvious comparison is that he’s a chunkier and slower Obi Toppin.

I’m not sure there are any worthy Knicks highlight videos yet.
