While Mudiay's minutes have dropped each year since his rookie season (just like Trey Burke's!), statistically his shooting percentages have improved each year, suggesting he's becoming a better player.

Rookie year: .379 2pa, .319 3pa, .670FT
Year 3: .414 2pa, .373 3pa, .808FT

Improvement across the board. His 3pt and FT averages are ABOVE league average this year.

I still like Elfrid Payton better, but at least from a per36 basis, Mudiay's numbers are relatively comparable based on their age-equivalent seasons. (Payton's 2 years older) But alas, Mudiay is now a Knick, so hopefully we've found a diamond in the rough that enjoys playing here.

As I think of his build and athleticism, I've wondering about a Tyreke Evans comparison.

The problem with Mudiay is he had great physical tools, handling and finishing ability at the rim. He had trouble running the offense because he can't shoot. Denver has Jamaal Murray and Jukic to facilitate, plus a bunch of other versatile guys. Mudiay was redundant to that team. Mudiay is far from trash. Mudiay right now is our best point guard. Trey Burke should be his up. Frank needs to still go to tge g league. He's been so bad it's actually detrimental to his development. He's just not ready. He's got work to do. He's 19 shoo that shouldn't be an issue. He will help us, just not right now.

Wake the F’ up there no help this team. We have been doing this for nearly 20 years now. Ntlikina can’t help you honestly think Burk and Mudiay put this dumb shyt team over the top.

Would like Hornacek to bring them in at the same time for the rest of the season. Let them try to help each other work through the holes in their game. They are bonding through their similar ancestry, both speak French. Whatever works.

So what you are saying is, let these kids take bad shots, let these kids make costly turnovers back to back to back, let them continue to shoot poorly and make bad decisions, let them play through it all while developing bad habits, loss after loss ...That's great for developing someone...smh jesus..yeah and then reward them with more minutes..

Just picture two blind men in a room trying to get out the door, tell me how long that will take when the blind leads the blind..

Your right, but what mills and perry are probably thinking, if Frank can see Mudiay penetrating maybe he'll want to do the same.

Look at KP, look at how his shot selection almost mirrors Melo's, and look at how franks shot selections almost mirrors Jack, same pull up 17 footer with a different release on every attempt, thats why his shhoting % is in the dumps..

Phil jackson once pointed out that shumpert would never be a good shooter because his release is different every shot, all poor shooters have that problem, and if you watch THJ, frank, jack, you'll notice it clearly.

Frank has great form, but his release screams brick layer
