Tiago Splitter and Varejao jump out at me. He's still a kid though. He seems to have the drive to get better. I follow him all over social media. I like the kid. When Pau and Marc retire he's going to be ready to take their place.

Don't really know either of those players, haven't watched non-Knicks basketball in a long time, but Hernangomez reminds me of an offensive version of Charles Oakley, but perhaps only because he is big and can't really jump. Don't know if Hernangomez has a 15-18" jumpshot but his hands seem really good and it looks like he can finish around the rim. He runs the floor and at least puts in a ton of energy on the defensive end albeit perhaps not as productive on that side of the court. Young kid and I hope he can move his feet on D. Exciting prospect.

I see the Oakley comparison. Moves alot like him. Kid is very fundementally sound. He's not out there jumping out the gym. He's banging. He's not dropping the shoulder or throwing elbows. He's sealing off space with his body. I love that. Very exciting kid.

Knicks will have a decent front court rotation: KP, Lopez, OQuin, Willy. Nothing flashy outside of the KP potential but it's solid. Bigs and PGs and all star talent are the hardest to get; Melo and Grant are the only other 2 long term contracts, so it's a start.

Don't forget Seraphin. That guy is on the cusp of being good too. Knicks are on to something. Love to see how the pieces settle. If everyone plays well what do you do?

I don't expect Seraphin to be Knicks player beyond this year. And if everyone plays well, it's a good problem to have.

It's a good problem to have, but not with a coach like fisher, who will play guys token minutes, and ruin any chance of chemistry.

I'm praying to god this guy doesnt go with a 10 to 14 man rotation

Who knows...Definitely a player I'm looking forward to seeing eventually.

Playing system basketball should alleviate some of your concern.

Think about it.

Anyone catch hernangomez last night against the Celtics? He was only 2-6 in 21 minutes, but had a block and 7 rebounds (4 offensive!). Not terrible, but the rebounds are extremely good.
Also, wonder if Real Madrid has more games against NBA teams coming up?
