Like all pure gunners, he's going to be useful when his shot is falling. Nothing he's shown for his entire playing CAREER THUS FAR indicates he can produce offensively enough at volume and consistency at THE NBA LEVEL to be shoot first/shoot all/ shoot only gunner.
He only knows how to play ONE WAY and one way only.
He got caught doing PEDS. I don't care how it's framed in the media, you have to be a bonehead in the NBA/NCAA to get caught doing PEDS. There are literally 5-6 different established informal pathways for NBA/NCAA guys to know the test is coming and when. His coach openly said move the ball and he kept chucking.
He comes off as high effort ( he wants long term security right...) but undisciplined.
Everyone here hopes he breaks out and breaks out long term for this team, but it's early and it's better to wait and see. When the league gets a better scouting "book" on him and they adjust and how he counteradjusts, that will say a lot. Something troubling is you don't see any counteradjustments now. He's playing one way, one type of ball and that's it. Which, again, is fine if he can be an effective gunner at volume and consistency, but that's pretty rare.
Wait and see. Costs the Knicks nothing to wait and see.
He's doing a nice job around the rim. He has an innate feel for natural spacing/operating in close contact. Some of the things he's doing, you can't teach. That being said, you have to adjust at this level.
I want him to do well, but he's an undisciplined chucker until he shows consistency otherwise. Contract wise, as I always say, you don't buy an engagement ring after one great blowjob. A long term NBA contract is just that, a COMMITMENT that's enforced even if the player doesn't hold up his end for sheer effort ( Melo, Bargs, STAT, Eddy Curry, Jerome James, Noah, do I need to go on?)
As fans, nice to be excited about something. For functional rational team building, wait and see.
One comment I heard about Trier and TT would like your take was Perry thinking Trier would benefit from better spacing in the NBA then in college. The dunk was the epitome of that as the D was spread and Trier caught his pass 30'+ out and was still able o penetrate before the defense could collapse
So the fact that he "gunned" more in college with jump shots might be an artifact of the college system. He also had a nice move baseline in Atl game
Hoping we caught a break here. I want him to drive and get fouled.
