, I think the single most important factor in shooting is not technique but confidence. Something that cannot be taught but can improve with repetition and success. If you look at some of the better shooters in the league, their technique varies.| AUTOADVERT |

Maybe Robinson will lose it to Kanter at some point but Im hoping not because the defense in the starting lineup is nice and Mitch is a big part of it. Knicks_Fan

Yeah. For one, when he spots up, he lands all over the place. He just floats to random spots instead having a nice, compact, up down form. That's why his balance looked all screwy last season. Also, all great shooters, no matter how wacky their form is, stay consistent with their motion. Mudiay's shot motion can change from shot to shot in the same game. 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.

Right. If we had drafted him, I would feel differently but as is he isn't our project This is why I had issue with the Burke and Mudiay signings. They are not going to help us win and wr have players with equal or higher upside to develop in Frank and Dotson. The justification given that they were "lottery picks" and so worth another shot was always pretty lame. They don't do anything very well. But people fell in love with Burke's ball hogging and scoring to nobody's surprise. Even if we had gotten one instead of two it would have made sense, but our FO didn't make sense. And the fact that Frank is trying to change his game shows he is coachable and willing to adjust. Makes you wonder WTF Hornacek was doing? I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only try to make them think - Socrates

Only reason Mudiay is getting opportunities is simply because he was a lottery pick nothing more. I wish the Knicks had given a shot like Mudiay is getting for Greek Freaks brother.

Underatood. You think 22 is too old. My opinion was that it is only irrational, impatient fans who have that expectation. And bad NBA front offices. Perry and Fizdale are showing that they agree and are not. Your opinion that he is literally good at nothing only emphasizes my point.

Dig deeper and perhaps we can see the potential and what FO might see as POTENTIAL.
His year in China was a waste, he was hurt. I think he missed a lot of his second year. This kid has not gotten off to a good start and Denver Drafts Murray who is the real deal. We might perceive "because he was lotto pick" as why FO is giving him a chance. Thats all it is btw, a chance. He is not being handed anything. What he does well is not being discussed. Lets be real, he is not here because he was succeeding elsewhere, he is a project that might become and enigma. To simply say "he is garbage" is easy. To say "he won't amount to anything" does not make anyone here smart, its just math. The odds are not in his favor given the logical reasons. The fact he has not succeeded anywhere but in high school at a high level and is now 22 puts him at the crossroads of a career. Its not looking good. But he put in the work and your looking at incremental improvement. He can penetrate but needs to finish stronger. He needs to improve his shot. The rest of it is pretty good. He passes well and is a big strong kid. We have little to lose here. Baker is about cooked here and Clee is off the timeline. I think Trier sticks and Burke will move on. This is how it works, nobody saw Trier coming and you try things. "Luck" is created with frequent opportunities. Vonleh looks like a keeper but price will eventually matter. Mario might not be beyond this year as Knox and KP will eat many minutes in the front court. We have free agent money and likely a top 10 draft pick. |

So should we cut Trey Burke? He's much older, had more opportunity and is only serviceable for us? Until he is out of the league, he has potential. TO my eye, he's shown flashes of having an NBA game. True, the inconsistent play has been worrying. This is really his year to prove whether he belongs. I hope we do our best to help him fulfill his potential. You can't teach the physical skills and attributes he has. |

Agree. It's not like Frank didn't play pro ball before getting drafted. Its not like Mudiay didn't play pro ball before getting drafted. If Frank can grow, why not Mudiay. It's not an age thing, it's a mindset thing. Mudiay needs to play with the same fire as Trier and he will be fine. He might even get into the starting lineup if he plays with that much aggression.

Burke is good NOW with young legs and able to create separation, but it's not like he's great coming off screens like Timmy or Trier. But in no way do I see him doing the same things for this team 3 years from now. Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL

As someone already mentioned, not giving Mudiay a chance to settle into a solid pro player given his young age and lack of a steady opportunity so far in his career would be a terrible mistake. Will that be as a starting point guard? Might not be the way Frank is setting into his new role, but it doesn't mean that Mudiay can't become a valuable 6th man and leader of the second unit.
Im not sure about Burke, so Mudiay fulfilling the promise that made him a lottery pick at some point would be an amazing development and we seem to have the best coach on the job. Will it happen? Its up to Mudiay, but it should be exciting for him to know that he will have the opportunity. Hopefully he will seize it and prove to be another valuable piece for the future. Knicks_Fan

I would expect/hope that the Knicks, in current mode, give Mudiay more than 22 regular season games to 'prove" himself". Unlike NY sports fans. My point is that it is tough to find 22 year old players with pro experience and the physical makeup Mudiay possesses. It is what everyone claimed to be craving for a few years back. Now that we have some, the same are looking to get rid of them in a NY minute. I am confident we have the right FO, finally in place, to give these young talented players the right landscape to improve and excel. Judging by the level of play shown thus far, from those players, it has already be proven to be the right approach. Unfortunately for us fans, its usually only available on a losing team. But sure, no one can deny this is still the NBA. Guys that don't pan out and don't fit in the economics will have to be moved.
