We should at least offer him what we can ... This kid has talent, first rd talent he reminds me of a really tall sprewell nice step back move. And you can't go wrong with versatility Ndour can play the 3,4,5.. Is he a project? yes most rookies are but with his upside, scoring, and blocking ability Ndour could make his way into the rotation. Ndour has the ability he could become a part of the future.

Even blocked Okafor. I was impressed with N'Dour in the interview. Talked about things from a team perspective. Looks like he would be a great locker room, glue guy.

I would say his play has been such where he has clearly passed Thanasis who looks lost. If Thanasis wants to go to Europe so be it. Ndour really looks like an exciting piece. He doesn't really force anything, he seems to play under control but is EVERYWHERE.

We have a lot of short contracts on this team, and Phil is constantly talking about player development. I should think a guys should look at the Knicks right now and think if they play well and work their tails off even if its just practice, D league, summer league, etc that there will be great opportunity to be a big part of this team in upcoming years.

Yep 0 way Id let him leave even with a verbal commitment to come back. Building chemistry is as important as anything. I like all the things he can do

A. At 6-9 with those long arms he is a disruptive help defender
B. We play the triangle and he has a gorgeous release in the mid range with full range out to 3.
C. We saw him make some nice passes and its always good to have a willing passer
D Easily can be described as an inside out player which in the NBA is imperative quite diverse
E. He can handle the ball up court
F His physical profile is unique. Its almost like finding a new age Michael Cooper or something like that. Evene with a verbal I dont want to chance another team using cap space over us--we can control him for 4 years using 1.4mm

Thats my take with him---A 4 year contract at the min first 1.5 years guaranteed the 2nd 2 team options--that 1.4mm a spit in the nBA.

Please keep him.

100% agree, at the very worst....someone falls in love and offers us a 1st rounder in the upcoming draft for him

Totally on board for Ndour.

Sign him up.

I would sign Ndour and make one last play to offer Shved the room exception. If Shved says no, we need another guard. I don't trust Ledo to play any kind of minutes.

Why? he has the ability, he is still learning

And against one of the more solid backcourts in nba (wall and beal) he put on a show last year

I don't like how Fisher is talking about showcasing him in case another team wants to sign him. Far, far superior to Wear
fishmike 9/27/2024 11:00 PM Ug I hate this. The idea of Towns is great until you see what a pussy he is. Jules is a dog. DD was a flamethrower locked up cheap for 3 more years. First Leon move I hate

I don't mind keeping him on the roster as he learns. I agree he's got talent. But right now if Calderon goes down with injury Jerian Grant is our only PG. Galloway is not a PG - he's a very good defender and basically an undersized SG.

I would offer the room to Shved one last time

Shved just signed 3yr deal in moscow

That's what I liked- he did the same thing in two interviews.

Really (assuming we keep Ledo) we need a guard (preferably one who can penetrate and handle limited pg duties) and a C. NDour is a PF, but I'm wondering if we should just take him rather than a less talented C stiff.

remember:

Former Ohio forward Maurice Ndour will play for the New York Knicks summer league team in Las Vegas from July 10 to July 20, according to HustleBelt.com.
In an interview with Ndour’s agent, Eric Fleisher, Fleisher told HustleBelt.com that Ndour fits into the Knicks’ Triangle Offense and the organization’s willingness for Ndour to play overseas next season were two prime reasons he committed to New York.
Ndour supposedly received five other offers from NBA summer league teams, but according to Fleisher, the other teams wanted Ndour to play in the NBA D-League.


Fleisher said Ndour is currently contemplating multiple offers from European teams and will spend next season abroad — while maintaining connections with the Knicks.
The Knicks have recently looked overseas for NBA talent. During Thursday's NBA Draft, they selected Kristaps Porzingis, from Latvia, with the fourth overall pick.
Ndour averaged 16 points per game and 8.3 rebounds last season for the Bobcats and was named second team All-MAC.

That could change easily with a contract offer.

+1. Absolutely. Gotta get him in the fold somehow.

yea.. this is easy. 2 year min deal, 2nd year is a TO, and you get early bird rights. If he get an offer of $1.2mm vs. the $800k the Knicks will offer then we should just match

Absolutely. I love how he's doing it directly for Fisher on the bench and with Phil in the 1st row. They gotta know this guy's a keeper. We still maintain possession of Thanasis if we don't sign him, so that's good. No such luck with this guy though. If we don't sign him, someone else will. He won't even make it to Europe. Someone will sign him...Gotta keep him. No brainer.
