His advanced stats are just terrible.
Kanter's are incredible. |

Lance, Kuz and Beasley.... McDermott is a guy I would have like to have drafted coming out of college. So far his whole career has been a fight. He's going to have to fight again this training camp

He's going to have to fight again this training camp The main advantage for McDermott is his age. All the other guys are a little older and the Knicks might be able to work with him as more of a longer term solution. I also think that his quick release and ability to pump fake and drive is at a high level. The other guys are slower in terms of getting off and that does make a difference IMO. It's up to him of course. He has to earn it and it all comes down to his D. I think the rest of his game will be fine but that D has got to come WAY UP. |

There have been other players with similar issues with Lateral Quickness. What in particular is his issue? If I had to guess it's probably his ISO D against the legit SF's. It's one of the toughest positions to defend. We can't change his Athletic ability, lateral Quickness or make him longer, but maybe they can come up with something in the schemes to help him.

Can we flip him for Mario Hezonja? The Magic need shooters/cap flexibility and I think Hezonja is a more dynamic talent that simply needs a change of scenery. I like the international vibe of our team and hope something like this happens to further it.

Westbrook is such a ball hog pg that it was just spot up for him. I think McDermott has real potential in horny’s phx style offense. The guy is a lights out shooter, also he’s only 25 definitely not a finished product. He also can play the 4 and 2 on spot duties. I think he’s the back up 3 horny loves himself some shooters just look at his rotations in phx he always went with shooters over defensive players |

Korver has had his moments...If McDermott could become a player like KK in short spurts during a game, I could live with it. Still need to see an effort on D, though, from him AND Kanter. EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

Wally was a good, well-rounded scorer before injuries killed him. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

We need to make more trades. We need to trade Lee to create room to give guys like McDermott some minutes. If he can improve his defense to just average, he could be someone useful off the bench.

Do you think we could get a future 1st rounder for either of them? "We are playing a game. We are playing at not playing a game..."

This Knicks team will be a true test for all these young players. There's no CRUTCH to rely on. These kids are gonna have to step up. DM will have to raise his game and he'll get all the opportunity he needs to show what he can do.
I believe DM can get it done in a system with Ball and Player Movement. His issue is on D! Can he raise his level enough to earn a major role? Korver did improve a great deal on D. Of course he was still not good but he got better and that's what DM has to do. |

But even if we just second round picks is the 31-45 range, it would still be worth it to clear cap space and create playing time. Trust the Process
