I like the way the Knicks are advancing the ball with passes up the floor instead of just dribbling. They've gotten some good looks with that tempo.

Yeah they won't shoot this poorly all year. Im optimistic, we might suck but that first quarter was beautiful ball moved well we had 10 dimes. Hardaway Jr might average 20 a game

Yeah that ball movement! I think Jeff is right to start DM over Beasley. He looks like he just understands how to play without the ball. His cuts are great and he has that stroke from 3!

because they traded melo for a better scorer at his position

KP, O'Quinn, Kanter, and Willy will occupy the PF and C positions. McDermott, Hardaway, Lee, and Thomas (for defense) will occupy the wings. The PG will be a mixed bag of Ntilikina, Sessions, and maybe Baker squeezing in minutes as both guard positions. I don't see Beasley starting out the season as a consistent rotation player. Not sure who he beats out, but obviously things change.

You forgot Kuz

No i didn't. I don't see where he fits either, assuming you are only playing 10/11 players in a rotation.

You don't think Beasley beats out Doug? And Clyde just said Kleptomania!!! Love eeet

McDermott is a better outside shooter and seems a little more active. I think we need his shooting more than we need Beasley's iso scoring, given the makeup of the team.

I am honestly not thrilled with either of them- but yeah I would want McDermott more as well. I have a feeling we may end up getting more Beasley though - not even sure why we signed him.

I'd rather go small with Lee and THJ. I like they're activity level. Plus we have plenty of reserve guards, so that help free up some minutes.

Yeah I think that spot is going to be in constant upheaval. Lee Hardaway and Frank or Hardaway Baker Frank is probably the best 1-3 lineup we have. We might have to mix it up all season

I think Beasley's game doesn't fit as well with the starters. DM is near perfect as a 3pt guy that can also cut and finish or come off curls and hit pull ups.

I'm just gonna enjoy watching kids develop. That's really what this is all about. They've gotta play, make mistakes and LEARN

Me too - I have low expectations and I want them to be shielded from outside pressure/media etc - Noah should be the team spokesperson for the media and let the kids play

I'm putting SALTY ASS Knicks fans on MUTE cuz this isn't a time to be going nuts with the bashing of the team. The whole point of rebuilding is that you're trying to teach and develop as well as trying to develop good habits that lead to winning.

If fans don't understand where this team is at SCREW EM!!!

Nixluva I for one wont knock the Knicks. But they just can't shoot! Sorry about that. Hope it gets better. We just looked bad tonight.

Hardaway, Porzingis, McDermott, Ntilikina, and Lee can all really shoot it. Shooting won't be an issue.
