he'd fit right into the triangle offense with his passing skills.

i wonder how many assists he had to IT4 who was one of only 10 celtics ever to score 40 pts in the playoffs. meaning I COULDVE racked up 7 assists if i was playing next to IT4 last night. with that said, he has a nice skills set. jack of all trade, master of none type of player. the classic swiss army knife. this is the type of mediocre player i hope the knicks can sign but not overpay for

i counted two to thomas. that still leaves a whopping 5 assists for the others which is not nothing. maybe the game plan was for evans to be the facilitator because they needed thomas's scoring above everything else, but this is why i am high on him for the knicks in the triangle-- that and he is a good defender, far better than afflalo.

dude cant shoot and hes really noy that good. i think affalo to turner is a lateral move. but sure, i think hed fit in nicely in the playoffs

very simple. Dreozan relies on getting to the free throw line when he postups on small guards. indiana is defending him (and lowry) by playing big wings like PG13, CJ miles, solomon hill on him. now he has to settle for 3s (not a strnegth) and contested pull up jumpers. coach vogel is making JVal and patterson beat them. i thought this would be a CLOSE series cuz of the matchup. but ultimately i think toronto takes it cuz of home court

Thanks. DeRozan doing his best IsoMelo impression, 4-15, 5 TO

yes i seem to be his only fan on this forum. who else is there who agrees with me about turner? i can't think of a single person.

still, i'd rather overpay him than some of the other players being suggested. even if we overpay a bit at first i think he will over-deliver if not outright blossom in new york. he fits better in an overall long-term way.

i don't care about shooting ability. we have shooters in melo and kp. but the entire frontcourt can be cutters and finishers as well with the level and quality of passing a triangle-savvy turner would provide. and he would add a ton of backcourt length for passing lanes.

to me..hes a less athletic version of derrick williams but a better passer and defender.

i dont MIND him on the team. hes a stop gap player which is what i think we should be going for

Good for him...

...and Charlotte gets their first playoff win in a gazillion years.

I liked him coming out of college...was always surprised at how some really disliked him so much. Thought we might take him if we traded down.

He'll make adjustments to his game, and I think he will be a pretty solid NBA player...a 17/8/4APG guy.

he had an EXCELLENT game today! but i stand by my original thoughts where i said he'd be a nice player. average like 12 & 6 off the bench

To be fair Lowry has been struggling with an injury (I think his elbow)- got it a little while before the playoffs and he started to struggle then.
