he's no starter, but he's solid, and as we are seeing in other threads, phil agrees...
Quincy Acy, SF"I'm really enthusiastic about what Quincy Acy brings to the team. Denver was overloaded at his spot, so he didn't get much playing time last season. If Quincy is not always a stopper, we can count on him to always be tough, quick-footed and energetic on defense at both the 3 and 4 positions. Quincy also has the kind of tensile strength that surprises opponents. He's worked hard to become a threat from beyond the 3-point line, but he has a slow release because he has to have all his body parts perfectly lined up to make his shots. An outstanding offensive rebounder, Quincy has to learn how to make plays."

He's made a few. He was already working on his range before joining the Knicks. As far out as the 3pt line
I think he will be ok in that aspect of the game
The question as phil said is he needs to learn how to make plays but so does everyone in this new triangle system

Yea but he also pointed to jason smith's holes and forgot to mention his injury history. I still think it's going to be ACY at the 4. He and MELO are interchangeable offensively and defensively depending on the matchup.
I don't think this is the year to expect big things. Acy is going to fill the role that you reference. Be happy that that role exists here now. Hopefully these roles get upgraded in over time.
