Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: We are 14 - 3 when he gets decent playing time but of course right now is the perfect/only time he would have helped the team. On another note, I am just happy to get some draft picks right for a change. Thank goodness the Frank and Knox type picks are no longer the normal. Sims, Grimes, McBride, Quick and Obi all contribute to winning. We don't draft stars but we get good players. |

Defensive Rating is one. Best defense rating in the league for players with more than 10 mins per game. Steal percentage is off the charts. He doesn't really exist in the offense dominated by our "big 3" and that may be ok. I can't speak to his offensive skills but for his G-League performances, but man, this guy has All Defensive team written all over him IF (and its a big IF) these defensive numbers translate the same in extended minutes. “Speak softly and carry a big stick” - KAT

Something is happening here? Finally?
Is he turning the corner? Shaking off the fear of the big stage? I'm excited to see how he performs the rest of this season. Can he have a real breakout? |

Not for nothing but Deuce figuring stuff out at a faster rate than Obi has over the past years

Knicks give its yoot time to play, time to grow, and some things can't be rushed.
Except in hindsight. Its assumed if the playing time was there it would have happened sooner. Not always. Thibs and staff are encouraging its young players to shoot and play thru it. RJ included. Last night was Deuce and Grimes time and they are knocking them down. With Grimes, this makes life easier for RJ, Randle and Brunson to kick out. Now the double teaming them gets problematic for them. Deuce might make IQ expendable for trade. If he is the difference maker for an OG trade for example, we upgrade the 3, move RJ to the 2, (or just call it "Wings"). This is what you want, internal growth to create better players to play or trade. |

What I find interesting reading some of these posts lately. For a while, fans have been saying we don't have a bench and Deuce should not get the minutes he's getting.
But when we win, all of a sudden, we now have a bench. And now Deuce should get some minutes? SMH Glad to see my boy Deuce hit some shots, since thats how fans measure his success. What I see is a consistent defender who gives 100% regardless if he's making shots and regardless of his minutes distribution. He's consistent on defense and this team needs more consistent players. Personally I don't care if he missed all his shots, he's contributing to winning basketball and his energy on defense spreads to other players and forces players to give a similar effort. Love it. Making open shots is needed for this team. But having a player who Thibs can trust on defense is just an important. Now put the two together and we are seeing a solid 2 way guard develop in front of us. He was hand picked by Thibs and Deuce is a coaches dream. Blue collar worker who does everything the coach ask. Glad to see he's aggressive on offense. All he was missing was confidence he can score at this level. We already know he can score in the Gleague and he can score in college. Congrats to Deuce. Lets hope Thibs utilizes these guys some more, and reduce RJ's starter minutes, while continuing to increase his second unit minutes. I like how Thibs is managing this situation between the big 3. JB and Randle are solid together and feed off each other. Let build around that. Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland.

When we've played a bunch of close games -- for example, the previous three games 2 were OT losses, and the other Knicks won by 2 pts -- yeah, it matters if he can hit a couple of shots. Could be the difference in a win or loss. Not to mention the kid's confidence. |

Thankfully I'm not one of those fans who you're referring to. Because I might've not know who Deuce McBride was on draft night but the moment I had opportunities to watch Deuce play in both NBA Summer League games and also with our Westchester Knicks? I immediately fell in love with his style of play. This post/quote (below) was created by me on 12/17/2021 (exactly 416 days ago). NYKMentality wrote:Damn right. It's just a good feeling when kid talents who you've believed in starts to get opportunities while begining to make the most of those opportunities. |

I agree with Panos, most are not judging him on offensive success. Deuce doesn't need to be a scoring machine, just score some shots. He was missing almost all his shots for a week. As much as fans appreciate his D, hitting an open 3 once in a while when he lights it up in the g-league, isn't much to ask for in a tight game. An open shot is an open shot, playground, g-league, or the NBA. He is a 2nd unit spark if he can hit open 3pt shots around 33-35%. Is that too much to ask for?
