He looked pretty good...Quick going to the basket and showed some range on the jumper. Nailed a couple of 3's....Guards couldn't keep him in front of them...

I would have liked to have seen Baker and Ntilikina play as a backcourt in the summer league just to test what it could like and if they can get minutes in the NBA together. Right now that experiment happens in preseason.

We don't have much NBA level talent on this team, but I like two guys.

Dotson as a backup 2/3/wing as a 3nD guy who can play in a high pace game.
Kornet as a backup 5 as stretch 5 n anchor guy.

Other than those two don't think any of the other guys are worth bringing in this season. I definitely give Dotson and Kornet contracts for the year and a whole year with the team to see what they can do. Like both guys. Skills that fit in the modern NBA and a spaced out, fast tempo offense. A stretch 5 that can block shots is a valuable commodity in the NBA. Even with below par athleticism.

Baker is the right choice and much better guy to have for now until Ntilikina is ready.

Labeyrie? I think he's looked pretty good.

All the raw undeveloped Rookies we had on last season roster need to be on the Knicks SL team right now including the raw clueless undeveloped KP.
Resigning Baker on July 1st, when we could resign Baker in late August were a indication of being a LOTTERY team in the 2018 draft.

I would give Frank Nitty props if he sits out the entire 2017-18 season, after meeting our Lame coaches.
Dotson n Hayes are the only one i would invite to training-camp.

I think you should be barred from ever giving Scouting Advice to ANY team. Not even a Rec League team! All of the commentary so far is a bit over the top. This Summer League stuff is not always what you should go on to evaluate talent. Some guys EXPLODE during SL and then are ZEROES in Camp or Preseason. Can't get too up or down on anything in SL. Just look for clues here or there about players but remember that the coaches are looking at different things than we are. They also see more in practice that informs them about a players growth potential.

Last SL Baker was shaky at the start and Randle went nuts. You can't always put too much weight on SL.

I recall saying the same thing to u in another forum back in 2005 .. when Herb Williams was getting great chemistry from the unit of Nate/Ariza/Lee/Frye/and a center i cant recall the name.
Baker/Randle/N'dour/Kuz/WHG/Plumlee/and our undeveloped starter 7.3 KP who fear contact in the paint belong on the 2017 SL team .. all has suspect performance that need a lot of work on positioning, ball-movement, screening, pnr, pressure-defense, zone-defense, and help-defense.
Our SL coaching staff gives no input to any of the players on the court .. Jones is a dynamic combo-guard, Dotson is our best catch n shoot perimeter player, Hayes is our hustle rebounder n paint protector.

Our coaching staff let Piston take a 10 pt lead in the first quarter ..
Today our coaching staff let OKC take a 11 pt lead in the first quarter ..

If we come away with a couple of udfas to go with our 2nd round picks then I am fine with it. Kornet seems like a keeper. Dotson is shooter. Jaramaz looks like he needs more work and I think is going back to europe. Labeyrie might stick this time.

Randal looks like a g league player Randal can score but man he gives up a lot on defense.

Another G league guy is Marshall plumlee I love his spirit, but man he is a awful defender he allows his man to go right under the basket for easy layups, he's a fouling machine, ive never seen a 7 footer get blocked as much as plumlee. This dude is G league all the way .

I see a lot of our opponents actually have second and third year NBA talent, it's like we are the only team with all except Dotson are tryout players.

Hopefully frank can play Wednesday
