I’m not sure we can do Barrett and Bullock in starting line up longer term

You won’t be able to survive in the nba with two 30% shooters. I think when Burks gets back— we should look into moving him into the sl and Bullock into a reserve role


Also Quickley has to stop looking to draw fouls. It’s more of a novelty and nba players already know it

If RJ is the long term 2 or 3. Payton and his career 29% from 3 is the one who needs to be replaced long term...

We all already know Bullock and Payton are not long term players for this team. What's the keen observation at this point?

The Knicks WHOLE starting lineup are not spacers and yet we are doing OK. Maybe it won't last

Mitch can't shoot outside of 3 feet. Randle knows he is limited to sideline 3's. RJ . Payton . Reggie . Those 3 wings are shooting a collective 34% from distance

And yet they are finding ways when they can, kudos to coaching

For all his reputed shooting prowess, Bullock's long distance shot has no arc whatsoever. Be what it may, but it is not going into the basket either.

Burks eventually starting over Bullock is ideal. Rivers could too but I see maybe Thibs liking him off the bench.

As others have said there is no shot Payton and Bullock are starting past this season. As for RJ, as long as he can become efficient(55-57% TS) in the near future then I think we’ll be fine.
The Future is Bright!

Barrett and Bullock lead that 1st unit which scored 40 in the 1st quarter against a team with steph curry on it, and a team who just beat the championship Lakers.

Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland. The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!
