Here is a little about what he said about Bachynski:
Bachynski’s footwork makes him standout from other bigs in the D-League. As the season has gone on and chemistry with his teammates has grown, he’s become adept at finding both cutters and shooters on the perimeter out of double teams. He’s aggressive when he has proper post position but only gets to the line around four times a game — a number that should be higher given his size. Having said that, he shoots 72 percent at the free throw line, so he cashes in on those chances when they arise.

Bachynski is more of a traditional big man and I liken him to a Robin Lopez-type of player. He runs the floor well, has good hands and can make a large impact on the game without scoring a single point. When in position to score he’s almost certainly going to his hook shot, which he’s converting at a 75 percent (27-36) clip.

I wouldn't mind bringing Bachy up for the bench. We could use another 7'er IMO. Obviously guard is more of a pressing need but there are nights I think we need another true C.

Another smart scouting job by the Knicks.

I've seen his videos. Someone to bring in next year as a free agent, play him in the summer league, and then give him a chance to make the team in training camp. Likely can make it as a 3rd string Center, behind Lopez, O'Quinn (and factor Porzingis plays minutes here too). Would have a cheap cap number for salary purposes as well. In contrast someone like Jimmer, his vet minimum hold would be much larger.

Don't see Seraphin back next year. Maybe Lou.
