yea he looks great. You see a few of him taking it to the rim. Yea its Drew league... I get it, but that is what got him the contract IMO. He could always shoot and get his jumper off like Houston, but he really did a great job attacking the rim last year. If he can duplicate that this is a good signing because at the worst you have quality scoring. We will see where is D, passing and ball handling are. I have high expectations. I think he's really got something to prove.

Don't give a shyte about his offense in the video... but he was actually playing some serious D. He was moving his feet, staying in front of his man, and showing some lateral movement!

Impressive, IMO.

EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

Knicks bet was that THJ is an Ascending young player and it's all about timing. His confidence is at an All Time High. I expect growth from KP and Willy as well. Jeff will be able to play faster and more aggressive on both ends. This is going to be a very interesting season.

His technique is better too. His stance was strong and with purpose. He doesn't have to be "The Glove". He just has to be professional in his approach. I think we might be getting that version of THJr this time around

Nice to see Hardaway working on his game over the summer, competing. Not going to read too much into these clips, other than to say he looks hungry.

I think about Noah getting that monstrous contract over last summer and showing up out of shape. It was noticeable. Contrast that with what THJ is doing after he got his big contract, and its like night and day.

Haven't heard a word about Noah, hoping he is working on coming back and having a much more productive season. Just staying healthy and contributing could pay big dividends. Noah would be able to take more of a leadership role on a team that needs more veteran leadership.

Noticed Paul and Harden were on cruise control until they needed to turn it up a little at the end.

Pedigree! It counts for something.

Yep. And they can still make D league level guys look like HS players.

Don't know if it's in this particular video or not, but there was one play where he manned up on Harden in the paint... Really was beautiful
