I think he is only going to get better as the season progresses...
I really Like McDermott. He’s the right kind of player for this style. He’s picked up his effort level and shows he has good BBIQ. Of course his jumper wet as hell. They need to work on more ways of getting him the ball.

that will work when kp figures out how to make quick reads out of the double, or when ever frank starts to get more than 15 minutes.
derms is really good shooter, and I agree about the korver comparison.

+1. Fair enough to say he has deficiencies. But he is a good addition for the price.
Nothing wrong with having more scorers.....
Beasley only looks high because he talked about weed in a positive light......
News flash.....85% of NBA players smoke! Most states are trying to make it legal, so no grounds of hate there.
Beasley to me is a poor mans Melo....And he's playing exactly where Melo should've played......Off The Bench!
I have no problems with our new players or old players. I think everybody can contribute in their own way, including Noah.
The problem to me, is the same problem as before....
1 ....building around Melo, but that problem no longer exist.
2 ....having the right coaching staff / coach not affraid to go against the norm or make tough decisions. I think Hornacek has met and so far exceeding that goal very early. If the ship starts to sink now, then that means someone is not getting playing time or upset about something and starts to spread locker room cancer. This is why I love the backups we have. All of them have something to prove. None of them are trying to be something they are not. Beas used to be that guy, but he's older now and happy to have a job, especially under these bright lights of NYC.

Yeah I agree also. The only other option is Sessions? We do have Baker and Trey Burke in the G league.
Beasley was very good last year. We could have some issues scoring off the bench-- he's been fine but he can play better. He can get us 20 on a given night-- so I think it's a stay the course for now. We've won 3 in a row and have been + 20 in 4 games -- it reminds me of the Jets this year. Counted out the jets are a few plays from 6-2. Too bad we lost to Detroit-- team deserves to be 4-2
If Beasley does his share of moving without the ball, and doesnt rely too much on ISO. I get the feeling that Frank will find him. They could do some damage together.
McDermott is playing hard, good way to get more PT.
beasley could be the odd man out when noah comes back. unless of course....the knicks do the unthinkable....
just.....
cut.....
Noah.....
