It seems to me that some players are not highlight reel guys. Guys like Billups or Tony Parker aren't going to do And1 moves or crazy dunks but they are all about winning. Nitty seems like that is the possible type of player he could be.
It's gonna take time to see what this 19 yr old kid is going to develop into. It's beyond early. ☀️😎
That was really a great read, It's very unfortunate for him he is not coming into a winning situation, like a spurs team that has a champion and establish All star pg like tony parker to learn from.
He would have been absolutely great for the knicks in the EWING era, backing up and learning from the likes of Mark Jackson, or Strickland, a defense 1st roster, that is already establish on the offensive end. The learning curve is so much easier when your winning.

Maybe.
But then he wouldn't even be on the Knicks if they were a better, winning team.
Funny how that works.

It's also possible that this young group can win some games and grow together. It's not a case where we need to lament that this is a team building a new core. We should be happy and hopeful due to the collection of young talent we've got so far, with more likely to come. ☀️😎🏀

Yes, that's correct. The Knicks, like 28 other teams, didn't take advantage of the Nets like the Celtics did.

But hey... lets work with your logic. Michael Jordan was drafted by a 27 win team. His first 3 years with the Bulls were all losing seasons of 38, 30 and 40 wins. Did he turn out OK? I think the "losing culture" aspect will be OK. Worked for Mike.

If we win 40 games this season, i would say we are on the right path. Frank is not a JH PG, this entire roster is more suited to play half court, and that's not really the coaches preference.
A lot of times the success of a play hinges on the system he's playing in, and the talent he has around him

This roster is built to play ANY style. They can run and play relatively fast but also be effective in the Half Court. Jeff has a LOT of Half Court schemes. So IMO this roster is actually a good one for how Jeff wants to play.
