I wouldn't go that far. Phil has a roster of backups, that tends to over perform on some days, and play to their normal level on other days.

So some of the inconsistencies is also due to pure talent. Thats why backups are backups and starters are starters. Phil scrapped the barrel for these pickups. The bottom of the barrel is not where you find starters.

What Phil did was collect a solid supporting cast of players......Who are currently being forced into starter minutes.

how should they be utilized?

you got fast guys playing slow, and slow guy playing even slower.

You put faried on this current roster, with this current coach, and he will turn into a jump shooter like Acy.

go on you tube look at any of phils teams, the only players getting to the hole is kobe, Jordan, and pippen

Yeah but you forget the post players who are near the basket and scoring. I'm pretty sure Shaq, Bynum and Pau were scoring near the basket. besides this is a bit of an exaggeration and it's nearly meaningless when you consider all the winning Phil's teams did over the years.

A kid like Faried would be able to get the rim in this offense because it's a motion offense with tons of cuts built in. It's all up to the players to run the floor and make hard cuts in the half court offense. Also just playing with energy like a Dennis Rodman is all it takes to get lots of scores at the rim and Faried would similarly have opportunities to score.

Then Nix please explain why no one cuts to the basket on a regular, phil has now had over 25 different players on the knicks, and no one cutting. AA penetrated when he was with Denver, Orlando, and portalnd, now all he does his post ups and shoots 3's.

this perplexes me as well. I was under the impression that this offense is predicated on cuts and more off the ball movement. Its not consistent that is for sure.

I see more ISO more than triangle at this point. It's why the Knicks are amongst the bottom of team assists each year.

Personnel is built for ISO inefficient ball, not triangle movement ball. Square peg in round hole syndrome for Phil so far as an exec.
