The uniKorn.
Is he KP's equal? Better than Willy? Our best 3 point shooter?
All of the above?
His first game was outstanding so let's hope for the best.
Oh, btw, I like Nigel Hayes better than Hicks for our team. He's much more versatile and an excellent 3 point shooter too. Can defend the perimeter with his long arms.
Right now Mike D'Antoni is drooling at the possibility of adding the UniKorn to his roster. Imagine the possibilities.
One game.... he already outplayed Willy this year. Life goes on
Knicks should guarantee him for this year, next year, and team option the 3rd year. They have nothing to lose. Definitely worth a roster spot.
HE looked good!!! Now I am sure, the league will adjust and it will get harder for him BUT, he has some skills and maybe just maybe he can fill a stretch 4/5 role.
I was pleased with his shot blocks and rebounds more than anything.
LuKornet!
it does show you get production out of someone, no matter how bad you are.
nice kid. good story. doubt he really sticks, but hey...
he was so good.
was he balling in westchester too?
one game. yes, but everything he did looks sustainable and legit.

I saw him play and he was doing this in Westchester. Question is translation to NBA and the kid is Skinny. Next man up. Willy didn’t want to go to Gleague.
Can Kornet fill out and get a lot stronger? Sounds like he can turn into a solid back up
Kornet is a modern 3nD Center! Dude is literally the complete opposite of Willy. Knicks have used the revamped G League team well.

Nigel Hayes might have a future with us too. He's a modern four. Long, rangy and can definitely shoot the three. Plus he knows our system well. Don't we have 2 open roster spots?

I don't see him playing the four much, but his defensive rebounding was encouraging. He'll probably never be much of an offensive rebounder, but he'll be less of a liability if he can hold down the defensive rebounding. He at least brings something different to the table from our other 5s.

Kornet is pretty mobile for a 7fter. Curious to see how a Kanter/Kornet frontcourt would look. Pretty
sure we'll see it at some point this season.

Not sure about that. Kornet probably gets killed guarding fours. I didn't see that kind of mobility from him. You noticed he was always paired with Hicks coming in. Hicks struggled but he impressed me with his bounciness and mobility. What did you think off him?

Id be surprised if Hornacek doesnt give it a try, since the Knicks are out of contention, and KP is out. He likes experimenting with lineups.
Hicks performance was mixed, but I liked the energy he brought, nailed a jumper with very little daylight. Worked in the paint some as well. Enough to want to see Hicks get more PT to see what he can do, this is the time to do it.
