Yeah and we can start by passing him the ball when he's open.

Did not expect JB to fit with RJ and JR due to his need to have the ball , but he has fit perfectly thus far.

I agree. I admittedly am not as high on Grimes as some guys-I see a high level 3 and D guy, maybe 1 or 2 all star appearances....guy like Starks maybe or Bobby Phills. But that is just me. He is definitely a 2 way player. I agree the more 2 way guys a team has the better.

Obi needs to be less dependant on others setting him up and try to show what he can donwithin the flow of the game (he is getting his opportunities)

True. That would have given him 4 points instead of 2.
Obi has to do more. Rebound, lose balls, defend, create, drive and set up shooters. Something.

Btw, good game form IQ again. Would have been fine if he closed the game as well.

Josh Hart is everything as advertised.
Relentless Defense = ✓.
Aggressive Rebounder = ✓.
Offensive Efficiency = ✓.
Fast break/transition electricity = ✓.
Playmaker for others = ✓.

Josh Hart's New York Knicks Debut:
25 Minutes
11 Points..
7 Rebounds
4 Assists
4 Steals
WIN (1-0).

I'm already so freaking fired up (moving forward).

If you expect allstar appearances from grimes than you are higher on him than most.

I expect 1 maybe 2...that is peak if everything goes right and he is the best version of himself.

Look at the type of season Brunson is having an he’s not an allstar. Do you see a scenario where Grimes has a season anywhere close to Brunson?

That was RJ that missed him wide open under the basket, right?

Folks kill Obi, but I think his problem is we don't seem to create opportunities for him to cut to the basket. All our passes are easy, on the perimiter. Nothing that tries to probe and attack the basket.

I'm glad we saw Hart & Obi connect.

No. None. Grimes will never score at the level Brunson is scoring at. My very strong opinion. I see Grimes as a a level lower than Allan Houstonn/Latrell Sprewell. Maybe Kerry Kittles?

Here's my thing, and once again I could be wrong. I know the metrics say otherwise, but I think his defense is not that great. He will hopefully grow out of the bone head mistakes. And I don't think henis a smart defender either. Some defenders break down defense to an art form. I don't think that's Grimes. He looks like a reactive defender. An above average reactive defender, but just that. Nothing else about him really stands out.

I would not mess with the 2nd season Grimes & McBride role in the rotation to be replaced by a 7 yr experience 6.3 Josh Hart .. Adding Josh Hart to the rotation as RJ Barrett's backup to increase the players in the game rotation to a 10 man rotation have been a need all season.

Josh Hart put up some nice stats against the Utah Jazz, I was hoping to see Josh Hart defend the 76ers Maxey, Niang, and Harris like Cam Reddish did for a Knicks win.

However, only in the New NBA you would see a 6.3 forward Josh Hart ..
Back in the Daze a player like SF-Bird, SF-Barkley, SF Pippen, and the Big-SG Jordan, Drexler, Miller would all have 60 pt games having Josh Hart defend them.

Go check out Brunsons stats during his second year, let us know if he matches up to this type of output.

Who cares about Brunson's stats in this conversation? Isn't there a thread where everyone was just roasting someone for using Kobe's stats to promote RJ? I said in that thread using another player's development to chart a different player's development is stupid.

Brunson is a totally different player with totally different skills which ia why I dont see him having a season like Brunson. I've also already said that my is my opinion of Grimes. I could very well be wrong. I even said in the post you quoted it is what I personally see.
