I'm totally sold that with this guy's experience with Melbourne United and Germany that he's ready to take on backup center minutes, possibly half the season as starter, and a 50/50 shot at starting playoff games in year 1.

I can't tell Fish if you are kidding or legit? I like him - not sure what we can expect in year 1 - but I love the back to basket game - I mean, do defenses know what to do? Kareem might score 50!

Anyway, why would any free agent want to come to the Knicks for exactly 2 year and play for a coach like Thibs?

He is extremely raw, strong, but slow.

fishmike wrote: Hukporti seems OK, but what is most annoying for me is that this guy shows some moves in the post that Mitch, with his 6 years and 320 games in the NBA, never (or can't) shows us. When that idiotic video of him shooting 3s was shown, I recall being called out by some when I complained about the fact that Mitch hadn't even come up with even a rudimentary post up game or short jumper, as if a center doesn't need such skill. That would seem to be more important, especially for a good offensive rebounder like Mitch. I just don't understand how any player doesn't improve their game after 6 yrs in the league. For the most part, this has been true about Robinson. Sorry...just venting. I'll also say the same thing about Sims, BTW. If he was to show an improved post-up game, I'm sure he'd get more time on the floor. There are three classes of men; lovers of wisdom, lovers of honor, and lovers of gain. (Plato)

1. Im really looking forward to see how the PnR with Hukporti and Kolek will look like! It should be a piece of beauty!
2. Honestly I think he will be able to give Sims a run for first C off the bench... or at LEAST push Sims in practice to show up on low-post D. 3. I know its the Australian league but he does look extremely nimble from the short vid. I like how he has defended the switch on Guards on 2-3 occasions! 4. Hes a strong dude and hence another body to throw at Embiid! |
