4-8 from downtown tonight and at some point we are just gonna have to recognize him as Steph Curry with defense. But only for a quarter at time so far.

And he looks decent out there. Definitely not underwhelming, and maybe not super, but not bad either.

Can we still sign someone - Garrison Mathew’s 10-day ended today and wouldn’t mind having him around in place of Landry (short term)?

Over the last few games he has been contributing in limited minutes. He needs to keep it up so he can be a valuable trade piece at the deadline or to be counted on during the playoffs.

I don’t see it guys — regardless what he claims (he looks heavy to the eyes and in his movement).

Has shown zero moves (zero). Outside of pick and wide open pop and occasional free rim run I’ve seen nothing to be excited about.

This was a guy where Knicks received unanimous praise when we signed him but he’s not shown anything - even past few games.

At a minimum he needs to be able to defend multiple spots or rebound above his size - hasn’t done either or much of anything just yet.

What's up with him? Can't even get garbage time?

Got some Westchester action, shot pretty well but that team is far from good.

Yabu may not work out but he is learning to be a defensive guy cause he has to. Gonna have to be patient with him

Seemed to lose all confidence over summer and in pre-season.

Hopefully he has a Deuce revelation. Year 2 so far

His development should be heavily geared towards improving his assertiveness off the dribble. Right now all he does is kind of like Obi where he gets ball on perimeter and quickly looks to hand off and he doesn’t have any of Obi’s talent in terms of leaking out on breaks and alley ooping.

I believe in the skill but worry his confidence has been crushed at some point.

Also he’s not explosive so he needs to get in super condition to hang in this league.

I didn't like that we let multiple leads get away, even if part of me was cheering for IQ with his big 3rd quarter.

Hart&Soul is really on a heater right now.

Let's do it again in a week.
