Okeke or Warren will get the nod in March.

A lob while being doubled behind the 3pt line? No way he can't contribute.

Yeah man, I think Chuma might be able to help us more than Warren. Great wingspan, better defense, decent playmaking. I really like Warren's offensive game, but he's a one on one scorer. Chuma more of a 2 way guy who can swing to the 4 and play all around.

Haven’t really paid close attention to Okeke. Maybe he is the March target. Shooting 38% from downtown on decent volume.

Start at 2 minute mark, good stuff and sounds like a Knicks bench wing.

I posted on this thread a cpl weeks ago about Okeke, but to me he way's more OG Anunoby cover than Warren. He's had a lot of stops and starts because he came into the league with an injury, but he's still young and had been compared to Igoudala coming out of school

I know we've been talking about Warren, but if/when we can add one of these vets don't sleep on Okeke. Okeke closely approximates the raw materials of OG Anunoby - he's 6'8" 230 and has a 7 foot wingspan. He is a switchable defender and the kind of guy who can get deflections, steals, even some blocks. He came into the league with a decent rep for spot up shooting and could potentially be someone who can stick a corner 3. He had an ACL tear coming into the league and was injured constantly in Orlando so never developed any consistency. But you can see why the Knicks were interested as someone who can provide depth behind OG with the same type of physical gifts, but in need of polish.

Remember this guy and him getting hurt.
Orlando did right to pick this guy but he never panned out.
He has filled out some since college, he does look like a 4 now.

Orlando took him at 16th and he had his opportunities. NBA is a tough business and he is one of those players o the cusp that has talent but needs a window.
Not sure he gets it here. He has played 16 games in Gleague and looks good. NOt easy to break thru at age 26!
Knicks are using the Gleague to rehab blue chip guys that have been here. Lots of guys can avg 16 pts per game but can they play up and get it done?

His first step looks quick. Would've liked to have seen him dunk, but baby steps, I guess.
