Well, I'm always biased when I see two way players, with high basketball IQ. These guys are constantly being pushed down the draft, because of the young and international potential talent. This guy is perfect (based on highlights only) for our Hornacek-Triangle system. Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland.

Nix....if you ever wanted to know how I play, this guy is very similar. How he shoots, pass and defends. When I build a team from scratch, I look for "unselfish superstars". This guy fits that category, at the city league level. And I can see him playing a Ron Harper role.....as a PG or SG.

we have 31 pages on t. wroten. lol
Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

76ers head coach Brett Brown described Wroten as a, “Mini LeBron James."

Also if he is cleared for contact he will definitely be playing in the summer league games. One of the main things with Wroten is he needs to not play like he's on the playground or in a And 1 game and play the way of the NBA. The stuff these guys do in the And 1 games are great to watch but you won't be playing in the NBA if you try to play that way. All the crazy passes and showboating needs to be left behind, he got away with it for the 76ers because they really had no system but to just give him the ball and let him do what he wants with it and they kind of did the same thing with Ish Smith last year. Like i said, it's fun to watch but you can't win NBA games playing that way. |

Also if he is cleared for contact he will definitely be playing in the summer league games. Showboating isn't the problem....it's playing within the system while making others better, regardless how fancy you play.....Now if the showboating causes negative plays and turnovers, thats different. Magic Johnson was full of fancy showboating passes and was a hot ticket for the NBA and made his teammates better. It's a gentle balancing act that most role players haven't figured out. The Triangle helps players like Wroten. It gives him the green light to create in fast break situations...........And in half court, it allows him to increase your IQ and make the right play, which makes others better. But those fast break above the rim plays with Wroten and Grant coming at you should be fun to watch, while KP and Melo are lethal weapons that are trailing for the kickout pass.

Hes having a basketball camp in MD and they are looking for volunteers. If I get the job, I will have great insight into Grants thinking for next season. And I haven't spoke to him since I first met him and his brother and father in Motor Vehicle sometime ago, before we drafted him. But sometimes it's great to have a backup player thinking he should be a starter, early in their career. It's only a problem when you are a veteran like JR Smith and still trying to be a starter. These guys are young and just starting their career. It's healthy competition. Grant has to earn the starting spot. And if he can't beat out Wroten, that tells you alot about Grant, who should have the upper hand with his triangle knowledge and NBA experience. Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland.
