It was genuinely heart warming to see Kemba and Randle (plus the rest of the team) play with joy and enthusiasm again- really missed seeing that this year from the starters

Re: Grimes and his shooting - the pre-draft analyst clearly missed him as a pure shooter / 3 and D guy in this draft as Duarte and Murphy got way more hype, but why is Grimes not just as good if not better. Knicks were on him.

No, I think most sites had Grimes pegged as a ready made 3&D. Murphy was thought to have more upside because of his physical tools and most teams, including the Knicks, just considered Duarte the better prospect.

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. - The Tick

Durate = 24 years old.
Grimes = 21 years old.

I would've been pissed if Durate fell to us.

Heck R.J. Barrett is only 21 years old as a 3rd year player.

Durate is only a Rookie but yet 24 years old.

I would not have sniffed let alone touched Durate until the 2nd round.

In the Knicks last 3 summer league games Grimes high IQ performance on both sides of the court looked NBA Ready .. I already put Grimes talent & skills in front of RJ Barrett & Burks NBA experience.
Grimes were the Knicks best pickup in the 2021 offseason!!!

he Hawks were without all 3 of their PG for the Christmas game, matter of fact 2/3 of the Hawks players were out.
And the Knicks only had 1 PG for the Christmas game.
The Knicks PG Kemba Walker were force to play 40 minutes of playing-time giving the Knicks a triple-double (10 pts 10 rbs and 12 Dimes) in a Christmas game.
I was mostly impressed with Kemba giving out 12 assist.
When was the last time PG Kemba gave out double-digit assist? WOW !!!
Oh yeah, the Knicks shot 85 FG attempts for the game, and 50 of those FG shots were 3-ball attempts, hitting 20 out of the 50.
