Knicks sign Luka Samanic to a two way contract. Unlike our other revolving door of contacts, I suppose this one has a bit more staying power.

Some recent footage from last week. Meh. I guess he'll compete with Sims for 4th stringer? |

Some Spurs fans are saying he has talent but suffers from low motor/effort. I don't like low motor players. Its been my major issue with Knox. Here was the final straw with Coach Pop.

Im sure knicks are hip to this but think they can make a breakthru? Spurs had 17 under contract. |

This is great news! He has the best tattoo in the NBA, hopefully the NY media will get a story about it.

17 players under contract and he showed his ass. Thru experiences and maturity will he have gained knowledge from humility?
Or does he stagnate? Fans rarely give any thought to what an be. We extrapolate the past and present to the future. Kid has talent. So does knox. Question can they toughen up to stay in the league? Can any fan really say with certainty? No. Odds are easy to say not. They fail to impress its likly to continue. But what knicks do is create opportunity which is the first tenant to creating luck. Simple, Spurs let you go. That says plenty. First that they saw the potential. Then they had a choice to make. They had too many contracts and cut him loose. Leon and co. Know whats up. He signed with us so he knows whats up too. Play harder. Take it from Knox. Knox has to dig deeper now. Its a tough business! |

Looked at some of his highlights from Europe, the skills and agility are seen but the strength is clearly lacking. Compared to his highlights with the Spurs, his strength and conditioning have improved. I have seen some Spurs boxscores last year and he has some game where he was able to contribute well offensively. The big question mark with is game is his motor. The Knicks coaching staff and the front office have been dealing with players that lack motor (Knox in particular). I think a year under this team's coaching staff will be enough for them to evaluate if this Luka is a keeper or not. I think he has skills if the work ethic of the young knicks(RJ, IQ, Obi, Deuce and Grimes) can rub off on him, the knicks might be able to add a rotation player to its young core.

Luka back and on the attack.

They playing him at center or PF? He came to the league as a 3 but is getting thicker and not quick enough.
One of many tall Euro’s with all around offensive game but soft on the boards and defense. Always looking for the “unicorn” type plyaer. Again, Gleague is not the NBA and this kid is being groomed for a new role? We have a roster spot open and perhaps he fills it? Is there a deal being thought of where Knox gets moved and he fills that spot off the bench? He looks like he is hitting the weights since last season. Curious to know what Leon/MIlls have in mind for him. |

I think he's definitely a PF at the next level who can probably spot the team some minutes at center. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more.

I haven't watched a ton of highlights but do you think he can hold down the C/PF spots effectively? He seems slow and not rugged Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program
