The problem with orlando is not there perimeter players, It's DH not having a perimeter game, he just hangs down low, his teammates can't penetrate, so there force to shoot jump shots all night
J.J. Redick hasn't played either. Thats one kid I wouldnt mind seeing in a Knick uni
why not see if Rautins can fill that role for you? it's not like Reddick does anything else but shoot the ball anyway... we drafted Rautins cuz he was supposed to be able to shoot the lights out... he's looked bad in very limited run but shooters need to get into a rhythm... we'll never know what we have in our bench guys unless they're given a chance to play.
I am fine with being patient with Rautins but I really don't think his skills translate to the NBA level. I think the Knicks were looking for mature, four year guys in the draft and took Rautins because he is solid and can shoot. I don't know how long the Knicks should wait for their 24 year old rookies to develop.
i could be wrong, but I think Rautins played SG for a lot of his time at Syracuse - remember that Flynn was drafted a year before Rautins.
The kids is a good distance shooter, albeit he did not really show that skill during SL. He is a competitor and a winner, at least on the collegiate level. He started to play PG late in life, played PG for the Canadian national team. He is big at 6'4" and a scrappy but not lock down defender.
I think there is a bit of a waiting period with this kid; patience is needed. He is low cost and end of bench.
Even a guy like Nash, who was something like #15 pick was total crap his rookie year. We are marinating a second round pick.
this kid is getting no minutes on a team thirsty for a lagit back up, its not like were deep at the position. Appearntly what he did in college, he's not doing it in the NBA. The little that i have seen him, he seemed a bit trigger happy, and had a half ass approach to the "pass first concept", left guys in transition under the basket wide open while he jack up a three that bricked.
unfortunately, when your minutes of play are slim to none, you tend to wanna make shots as oppose to making plays, you do everything in a hurry cause you don't have much time to show you belong. I notice this about AR and Mosgov a lot, they just seem to rush everything, bobbling the ball , miss timing there jumps, then commit silly fouls in fustration.
AR gets the ball from 19 ft and just cause he's open he thinks he should take that shot, like thats high % for him..Mosgov takes the shot before he secures the ball, which end up out of his hands and out of bounds.
Whats a coach to do when he's trying to win a game and these youmg players keep doing stupid sht
