The official '20 NYK thread, Nate jersey retired

Man hope im wrong, but I really don’t think Quickley is gonna play. He was projected to go in the 2nd round in almost every mock draft. Unless he really improved i don’t think Thibs plays him in the rotation.

Plus we never give young talent minutes anyway. Elfrid gonna have 40 min a game

Also Wayne Ellington, a much more proven shooter who knows how to move without the ball, it took him a while to crack the rotation. I just think there’s too many guys in front of Quickley (Burks, Bullock, Frank, Rivers)

I got a soft spot for shooters, so definitely hope I’m wrong. Kid is actually suppose to be a good passer and defender too.

 

[ballinsam23]

Happy for Mike. Most competent coach we had since Hornycheck.

 

[squatchnt]

No shots at anyone but I know everyone says be patient with the youngins but when do you say he ain’t it and move on from them?

its a case by case basis for me depending on performance. It's a weird time in basketball where 18 and 19 yo kids who haven't done anything besides AAU games are better draft choices than a 21 yo who's shown some skill at the game of basketball.

Yea we're in a good position to move up in the draft or trade for a star.

Could’ve swore we retained him

Ah, 2026 second round pick from the Wolves

I completely forgot that Donovan is Bulls coach now wtf

 

[GaBeGRaMz]

Bold prediction:

I think Jared Harper might mess around and crack rotation.

 

[Upptempo]

My guy

 

[ballinsam23]

Had the day off so watched a bunch of Obi game videos. Saw some things I liked:

-Makes quick decisions
-Makes the right pass/moves the ball quickly
-Much better ball handle than I thought
-Plays to his strengths (quick post ups, trailing big, fastbreaks)

His ceiling being Amare is pretty damn spot on. Got some Kenyon Martin vibes too.

I would like to make that 8th seed & flip some picks for a top 3 next year or 2022. There could be some franchise saviors next couple years. Can’t even say tank for X player because the lottery is fixed against the Knicks. Knicks need a Cunningham or a high potential playmaker. I like the idea of RJ in the backcourt. Let both share dishing duties. They have the tools to switch 1-3 as well.



As for current Knicks players, what would be a reasonable statline for RJ In his second year? I got 19/5/5.

I think RJ can def avg 19 this season, that’s only 5 more points with a bigger role now.

With RJ, I’m keeping an eye on his percentages rather than ppg going into next season

FG% - 40.2
FT - 61%
PPG - 14

Could be over 20ppg with some improvements

 

[ballinsam23]

2021 Draft. This should be our guy.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Plays like a bigger Marbury with more natural PG skills.

Crazy

Noted

 

[nick.]

2021 Draft. This should be our guy.

Cade Cunningham
Jalen Suggs
Jalen Green
BJ Boston

Need one of them.

 

[donewithjs]

Blow Job Boston will be our pick since he’s a Kentucky guy.

 

[ny mavurs]

So y’all watch college ball now huh

Seriously tho the first 7-8 teams of next years draft gonna be happy as hell

So that means we pick 9th

 

[doxen5703]

Mitch needs to learn to not foul.

2021 Draft. This should be our guy.

Is he gonna be freshly 18 by the draft?

 

[Upptempo]

So that means we pick 9th

Knicks gonna be in prime position to finish bottom 3 then go on a meaningless 6 game winning streak when we hit that patch of the schedule where we play scrubs and it'll bump us to like 7th worst team and reduce our odds at the highest pick.
