Of course he can. He lost weight and has been training with the whole team for 2-3 months for this pace

Actually think Mario looks pretty good. I think he is trying to fit in and not be too selfish. He hustles on def. and has a great offensive repertoire

Key Stat...
Knicks shot 33 threes and 31 free throws tonight.
Happened only twice in 1 season in Hornacek era (i.e both figures 30+).

2 things I got out of the dunk
1 Trier is a keeper (obvious)
2 Trae Young got stay in front of his man. He has that matador dee.
That was FUN! Perfect opening night opponent. Knicks needed a game they could work the kinks out and get some confidence going.

Feel like the Jets opening victory over Detroit.
Trier has a bit of a Sprewell-like ferocity/aggression in the way he plays the game. Heck, maybe a bit like Donovan Mitchell. You hand him the ball and he attacks, putting pressure on the defense. On the other end of the floor, he's fast-twitch athlete and can make up those subtle inches when he's beat that others not quite as blessed can't.
There isn't much of an NBA scouting report on him at this point, so he's embarrassing people.

Exactly. Once teams start scouting him then it will be the real challenge. We know he can score but the question becomes what else can he do when the defense plays him well?

surprised there were no John Starks references for Trier, another undrafted player who has a memorable dunk or two
Was a fun game to watch. AM super happy to be seeing a number of players attack the rim -- for all of the analytics-types it's still by far the most efficient play (disclaimer: as long as Mudiay is not involved).
Let's see how Vonleh plays out -- certainly more athleticism than KOQ provided; and Mario who seems very comfortable handling the ball (and sometimes players just need to consistently touch the ball to get it going)
