Grimes is so much better and can actually put the ball on the floor and score people. We will see that more if teams stick **** defenders on him

We love Reggie. He come and go. Good defender and catch and shoot.
Not like he the missing piece here is he?
Grimes is a very complete player that has to prove durable. He is 22.
Thibs loves him and he is ready to step up. IQ and OBI are not nor do they have path.

As of now, I'd say yes. And Grimes has more upside.

No, I think Grimes is a MUCH better player than Bullocks could ever dream of being on his best night.

Does it really matter who's better? It's all about who fits better next to our triangle of lefties.

Bullock and Randle had great chemistry. Bullock knew where to go, so that Randle has a passing lane. Plus Bullocks best skill is catch and shoot, so it was a great fit.

Why can't both players be great fits, regardless if one is better than the other. Personally I like them both and I'm a fan of both. Grimes obviously has a higher ceiling, but he's still young so we don't know the future. But I'm glad Thibs like him, the FO drafted him and it appears that Grimes is doing everything he can in practice to earn his minutes, so I like seeing that in a young 22 yr old. We need more players like Grimes (and Cam).

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

Well, one player is on the team and the other is not, so Bullock's fit is not really relevant. Plus, Grimes is an over all better player. After that, who cares, right?

Very interesting praise for a guy who is currently 30%

I think Grimes has a far higher ceiling yes but as it stands Bullock gave us better production during his time here on both ends. Grimes with enough playing time will eventually cross that threshold and deliver more.

You will be shocked to find that Bullock is shooting 27% from 3 and 29% overall for an eFG% of 40% compared to Grimes 55%.

We call what Bullock is doing, a sub-RJ Mendoza line of shooting percentiles.
