But it also speaks to how well rounded his game and confidence is.

He wasn't really knockdown when he first came to the league, but he's gradually improved. He reminds me of Bobby Sura.

As of now this is a hit the ground running squad. We protect the rim, we will have a top 5 defense, we got a lot of scoring and we will swarm you with our guards on both ends.

Brunson/Grimes/RJ/Jules/Mitch
IQ/DD/JHart/IHart

those are our 9 with McBride/Sims ready to help.

Running it back with a tweak is absolutely my wish.

It's a guards league. And we are loaded. Just think one of the top PG defenders in the league, in McBride, can't even crack this 9 man rotation. Thats deep.

especially on defense.

This is gonna be the Brunson led Knicks. This is gonna be a Thibs team through and through. We have excellent size at center and with Randle but its going to be a heavy dose of 3-4 guard line ups cause that's what we have and I like how this is going to look
Brunson/Grimes/RJ/Jules/Mitch
IQ/DD/JHart/IHart
That bench is gonna challenge every starter every night, and Thibs will play any of em (except Brunson is never sitting as we know)

I haven't watched a lot of DDV but I LOVED Bobby Sura.

I wanted Thibs to use deuce more, when the other guards are killing us. T thought there was opportunities for that but deuce shot is not reliable.

I haven’t watched a lot of DDV but from what I’m reading and seeing in highlights, he’s a 6’3 deuce that can shoot. That means Thibs will play him more especially in crunch time or with special defensive assignments. Can’t wait to see how Thibs manages these minutes and egos.

As far as deuce goes, he’s still my guy. Hope he cracks the rotation (but I have my doubts) or used in a trade to bring in a star. Obi, deuce and others are nice guys and I only hope for the best in their basketball careers.

DDV is that new shiny toy you get for Christmas. Deuce is the old toy that gets pushed back into the closet for emergency's, in case the new toy breaks.

DDV came and delivered. He stayed healthy for us and fit in nicely over time.
Im sure we all wish we could have kept him but KAT is up next.

DDV performed and won us over. KAT does the same we will love him too!
Next its Deuce turn to rise!

It's easier to find dead eye shooters and burly PFs than a historically distance shooting 5 for sure

DDV was a Garden legend in the making but Shamet can probably do 90% of what he did for us on a nightly basis. He won't bring the same toughness and intangibles most likely but he can do the volume shooting part.

Another way to look at it is that we developed him and sold when his value was at its highest, netting us a legit superstar.
Without him, the deal may not get done.

Shamet did NOT end racism in Delaware. Lets just keep moving the goalposts.
