I've been posting for a while that there should be a fit between the Knicks prospects and OKC's Mullens and Maynor. Ray and AR for Mo Pete/Mullens/Maynor would be bold and might propel both teams to the next level.
I must be watching different games from y'all but Felton had a great game last night. He was everywhere on defense and outside of Gallo and Douglas (and himself) everyone else had a great shooting night, while Felton had 11 assists. How did Felton have a bad game last night?
For me, I wouldn't necessarily say he had a bad game, but he could certainly have had a better game.
16 shots for one, this is a trend recently. Now, I understand that for the PnR to be dangerous, the PG gotta be able to hit the open jumper to make sure the opposing defender doesn't sag way under the pick, but Felton also has to realize that when there are 16 seconds in the shotclock left he can run another PnR set and see if he can get a better shot for his teammates or self.
Also, no giving Amare the ball on the move outside of the 3point area, bad things always happen: 1/3 of the time he gets a charge, 1/3 of the time he gets a TO.
When giving Timo passes, you need eye contact and/or a near perfect or simple passable ball to him, did you see the 12-foot-high whip pass? Just as Timo was starting to turn his head? You learn to not make that pass in college or high school.
Felton gives up once he is screened; never recovers quickly.
THis is all about playing within his game and also playing within his teammates' game; this is what separates Deron, CP3, Kidd, Nash from Felton, Baron, Harris, etc. outside of athleticism: decision-making.
