Knicks · Everyone sez Knicks irrelevant but more press here than any other game. (page 1)

Here at SL and more press than any other game. Will try to post updates on twitter. @Bballwizard1

It is like watching a train wreck, everyone is here to see if zing is going to be a bust or not. Zing looks good so far.

Kristaps

That is our down fall. Media.

They were there to see a female coach in the NBA.

All press for KP. Had big support from crowd. Looked nervous when he first came out but relaxed during warm ups. Biggest observation was definitely how he moved like a 6'8 guy. Also, Effortless 3pt shot. He was shooting long range threes during warm ups and made them look like free throws. He did seem to feel the weight of bigger guys down low but in no way backed off from contact.

Dissappointed in Galloway and Wear. Looked like guys just trying to be noticed and not in their second year.
Ledo just focused on scoring and forced it a bit. But quick and athletic.
The Greek was very intense, frustrated at times but hustled. Was not getting ball.
Grant was a true point guard, directing traffic and aggressive to basket. Understandably nervous with outside shot
Early scored but missed open guys. Definitely the most comfortable.
Ndour, kid from Ohio came in for KP, real athletic.
In general, most were trying to find right spots on floor. Will obviously be better when they get more familiarity with each other and offense. All around good showing. Rookies played well considering the nerves involved. Think most of squad wiil be more relaxed in upcoming games. Will be here for Monday's game then I'm out. Great atmosphere for team fan.

good writeup. thank you.

Only thing you can say about this Phil Jackson ,Derrick Fisher regime in
Summer camps is knickerbockers are willing to develop young players.

They have no choice, kind of refreshing around here in knick land.
Hasn't been done in NY pro hoops here in a long long time thus
Fair to be a tad tidbit excited, but I wouldn't be too excited of
Summer games yet.

Going to be 2-3 years down the road from whom we see now in these
scrimmages and which youngsters will be here in about 36 mouths.

That includes coach Dfisher,being around if part of budding success.

So small small small steps in the bigger process for
U.S.S ship Jackson building a team who learns to play the right way
And wins/competes in NBA at pro level.

Takes lots of time and patience.

After his 12-points-in-18-minutes showing against the Spurs in his Knicks debut Saturday, Worthy said on the Lakers broadcast: “He’s a freak of nature. He’s a combination of Dirk Nowitzki and Kevin Durant. It’s a good pick for the Knicks.’’

Thats a pretty high praise, and very sick comparison, but i think he's only getting compared to dirk because he's a white 7 footer with a smooth jumper. Durant was never compared to dirk, yet he's also a smooth 6 11" jump shooter.

But who cares, phil may have truly found us a franchise player
