Looks like the Knicks are going to notch their first win in SL. Been watching on and off. One advantage to signing Kornet is KP will be going up against another mobile 7fter in practice. A good way to test out some of those post moves he's supposed to be working on.
Adding Dotson and Frank is definitely going in the right direction. I like Kornet too because he opens up the defense from the outside and can block a shot and make a pass.

yes phil seeing his dream coming true............... whoops
For me it was a successful SL despite losses and not getting to see Nitty. We did learn some things about some of these kids and got some positives heading into next Training Camp. Nitty should be a bit stronger by then as well. Dotson is looking like another good 2nd rd find for Phil and the crew. Hopefully he carries this into next season and beyond. Kornet needs to hit the weights and some post moves but not a bad base to build on.
It's gonna be interesting to see who they give a Training Camp invite. Artis and Rathan-Mayes have some interest for me.
Dotson is a guy you actually take the time to design set plays for. Very confident, and doesn't let misses discourage him.
We should really look to move Lee. What does Memphis have at SG...they lost Allen- do they have a SG on their roster? Not sure Lee is worth a late #1 right now...maybe trade deadline- but I want Dotson getting 20-25MPG this season since he is part of our future, not Lee.

I don't see Memphis as buyers for vet players at this point, especially if the Marc Gasol rumors are true. Maybe the Clippers?

What are the Marc Gasol rumors?

Some guy (probably on ESPN)speculated that the Celtics could target Gasol. Hence, since it was social media'd, it is now a "rumor".

Totally agree
Our real summer league/development team is with all these guys
Willy - potential 14-8 big (starter/great backup)
Kuz - potential stretch 4 (backup)
Dotson - potential two way sniper (backup)
Baker - potential two way floor general (backup)
Ntilikina - potential defensive star (starter)
Karnet - potential stretch 5 (backup)
Randle - potential 3 point shooter (5th guard on roster type)
All rookies or 1 year of NBA players

Do not sleep on the kid Jamaraz....he did not show anything in summer league, but the kid can play...he looked nervous and out of his element, but that guy can attack the tin and is fearless....he may be one of those guys that stay in Europe until his mid 20s and come over for a shot....
I have no idea what you guess see in Kornet, he has shown me nothing.
Dotson is automatic - so good tho have an easy target for an outlet pass

It was announced they were singing him to the new two way deal right after the draft. We know he worked out for the Knicks and he can stroke the three. Maybe the thought process is that he will continue to develop as he had the late growth spurt. Right now he is the 16th or 17th man on the roster. The two way deal was a nice addition to the cba. I don't know if the Knicks can still protect players they bring to camp from the d league draft. I need to read more about the two deal. I saw something about exhibition 10? On twitter. It has something to do with converting contracts.

He would be a bench player in the D-league. Yes he shoots 3s, but he isn't exactly going to be Kevin Love. If the two way means we can cut him, we should that ASAP or at a minimum send him to the d- league

uh how? some positives are seen from every summer league.
i'll ask it differently, what makes a summer league team NOT a success?
If interested, Lonzo Ball is about to make his debut on ESPN right now....
