Knicks · Look at Seth Curry's passing last night (page 1)

BRIGGS @ 4/12/2016 8:05 AM

Forget that he's the leading 3 point shooter in the NBA the last 6 weeks---look at his passing. Name 1 game 1 player who has passed the ball like this for the Knicks in the last 5 years.

hate to get excited for anyone in April but.... BRING HIM ON
BRIGGS @ 4/12/2016 9:12 AM
In Seth Curry's last 11 games where he played more than 20 minutes here are his numbers

First off Sacramento was 6-5 in those games(for a team that is 31-50)

Hes 31/58 in 3 point shooting
Assists 41
Turnovers 19
Rebounds 30

Points 16.5 assists 3.8 rebounds 2.9 rebounds His efg leads the NBA in those games at close to 67%

Good call, Briggs.

This is the type of signing I would be 100% interested in.

Find young guys with upside.

Looks like Curry has a player option for this summer.

Wonder if he'd leave the West Coast? One plus is that by coming to NYC he could kind of carve out his own identity from his brother.

pretty impressive.

Not bad. It's the closest thing we'll get to a Curry since the 2009 draft, so why not?

He reminds me a bit of raymond felton when he came out of college. until he started liking steak and potatoes a bit too much (and that ugly separation / divorce).

In terms of court vision...it's there...but what's the contract situation?
Wouldn't it be amazing if Seth (for Knicks and if he gets to that level) and Steph went at each other in the NBA finals?
Jerian Grant can easily get to this by improving his shooting...but we need help now.
Still not confident that Jerian has the court vision.

According to Hoopshype, he has a player option this summer. I think he'd definitely opt out.

Cartman718 @ 4/12/2016 9:44 AM
also...this was against the Suns...a putrid team in the West. i saw several possessions there where no one was guarding.
He's faster in his decision making than any guard we have (which is what I like about Wroten as well).
That is enough for me to at least invite him for a workout.

Hoopshype shows 2016-17 contract is a player option.
So hells yeah bring him on. He makes guards like Galloway and Assflac look stupid.

Youtube hero in perhaps the most insignificant game between two franchises on Scrubb nite.

Curry has nice pedigree and might be ready to step up? He looks much leaner than in college. Kid can shoot, but was not quick enough for the NBA.
The headband and in a kings uniform he looks like Mike Bibby. I wish the kid luck. If he can make it here he can make it, any where........

You can easily play Seth Curry and Jerian together. Id like us to have 5 guards in the top 10. What I would like to do if we are "win now" is try to get Pau Gasol for a 25-28 minute role as the third big. Sell him on leaner minutes--hes friends with Phil and knows how to play the system. That also takes pressure off BOTH KP and Lopez. Id say if we were able to get Gasol--with KP and Lopez--that would be a top 3 frontline in the nBA.

Curry with his extended 3 point range gives everyone more space and hes easy to play with if we go 3 or even 4 guards at a time.

Add in two more shooters at a good price--Bazemore and Jamal C--then all of a sudden we have the inside and the outside at a much higher level. Goodbye to Jose C we need his $$$$$

Would love to pick him up. He would be a great PG for the triangle and i can't stress enough the need for great shooters. I thought that was Mike Bibby out there.

Watched the clip and thought he looked like Mike Bibby as well.

Once I saw him hit the floater I was sold! LOL
callmened @ 4/12/2016 11:13 AM
i warned everyone. lol. dont get over excited for players who all of a sudden play well in april. yes he had a great game...vs the phoenix suns...THE PHX SUNS!!! lol

tim frazier is dropping triple doubles. toney the tiger looks great.

im not saying seth CANT play but lets not go crazy about good games in april. half the NBA is either a sleep waiting for the playoffs to start or asleep wishing for next season to start

SupremeCommander @ 4/12/2016 11:21 AM
sign me up... if he's 10 percent of his brother I'm pumped
BRIGGS @ 4/12/2016 12:05 PM
Ive been watching him. Hes really smart I think what you saw last night will be what youre going to see a lot of going forward. First off he can control space by pulling up for those 30 foot three's which opens the floor for everyone else. Those nifty interior passes--have we seen even 1 of those from Jose Calderon in 2 years here--not one. While the three's will help immensely--to have a PG who can get into the lane with vision and get KP and Lopez easy baskets--that makes the team much much better. I really like the combination of Seth Curry and Pau Gasol with atleast one other big guard and or possibly 2--like Bazemore and if we have enough cash J Craw.

I would be aggressive with Curry--there will be more than 1 club trying to get him. I think Dolan--maybe hes learning--it would be a coup to get a really good player with the name CURRY on the back--not named eddy by the way.
So if we are staying with Melo--say NO to the 20mm $ player--try to get Seth Gasol and a shooter to the best cheapest contracts we can--sell them on coming together

definitely agree...i said the same thing but he's definitely worth a tryout...pedigree hire.

Happy to see the kid finally transfer his dleague game to the big stage.

This plan sounds more like what Phil is likely to do. So far this has been the kind of methods he's employed. He hasn't been star chasing. He's looked for good value and spreading his money around. So these are the kind of moves I think we can expect from Phil.

Anyone who can lead the entire NBA in 3 pt shooting % over a 2 month period is a serious player--especially when it comes out of the PG position. Its all about getting a chance. How anyone could not see innate skills is beyond me. Hes going to be the best talent/value proposition--and its possible he might be a top 5 free agent when all is said and done. People doubted Steph Curry too still do. This guy is super real. What a name that would be for Knicks fans---easy sell.
