Not a fan of Mudiay...was hoping that he made some adjustments to his game, but...
He is not an aware defender, to put it mildly, even though he has the athletic ability and body to do some of the things Frank is able to do.
He also seems to have lost all of his confidence on the offensive end. It looked like he was developing a 3pt shot in Denver, but he still seems to lack confidence now.
I watched some of his early Denver games, and although his shooting was spotty, he made some great passes in the games I saw.
He might do well in the GL- give him some freedom to build up his confidence, especially on the offensive end.

I think he's toast. Whatever success he had passing as a rookie has been figured out. All the energy it would take to make him ok is better spent on Mitchell, trier, frank, knox even KP. People who want to get better and respond to coaching. Even if Mudiay wants to get better, he does not seem to respond to whatever coaching.
Back to China is my guess

Back to China is my guess
Had a ton of turnovers early on his first year in Denver, along with many assists, then it seemed like the coach pulled the plug and took away some freedom from him...
I'll be honest, I still don't have a good grasp of what we are trying to do on offense...whether there is method to the madness, but it would seem that Mudiay should have some freedom to do his thing in the Fizdale offense, and so far, he has looked terrible.
I though picking him up was fine- we took a chance with Burke, and look how well he has worked out, but Mudiay seems to be "damaged" at this point, and the damage has nothing to do with his physical health.

Thanks for this. I missed the game last night and was able to watch it today.

IMO Mudiay was one of those sales jobs that comes out every year and certain teams (usually the notoriously dumb ones) take the bait. Larry Brown talked him up as a #1. Guy had no college and barely any China experience. Then people act surprised. Never understood why we took him
His minutes are better spend investing in Tier, Dotson, et al
Obviously if we keep him I'll cheer him on and support him; Burke too (who i also am skeptical about in a +/- sense)

We also took Mitchell Robinson with even less experience. Some you win some you lose. (I know one was drafted the other signed ad Mitch hasn't won yet, but the argument stands)

Yeah...he did get promoted a great deal- was given the coveted "best pure PG designation by many, but he always had his issues though, especially his jumper, and when the Lakers and Philly both passed on him, it really told me I was right in not wanting to pick him, because they both needed PGs at the time.
Should have played in Europe for a couple of years...More discipline and less freewheeling than Chinese basketball. They would not have given him a ton of minutes his first year, I assume, but he might have received better coaching.
In the clips I saw, the Chinese league was a fun league to watch, but more like garbage time back and forth BB.
Whatever happens with him on the Knicks, at this point, unless he's looked good in practice, even if we keep him, he won't be getting much time on the floor.

Not worried about super mario so much. Guy doesn't lack confidence in himself and is a pro. He knows it's make or break season and that Knox is quite willing to step into starting SF role.

In the age of a salary cap, we should find the best talent scouts and pay them whatever they want. I have been critical of Mill/Perry and still am skeptical but the other day I at least heard some things about Perry that gave me some hope. In short, it was something to the effect that he thought Knox and Trier would do better in NBA because they would have more space and that would play to those players' skillsets more.
It's that kind of insight (hope there's more of it) that can turn a franchise for the better, or the lack thereof which creates Sac. Kings.
Having said that, I have no idea how they're expecting to transform Mudiay and Hezonja at this point. And as I said, all of that energy and time (which would definitely be needed as those players aren't figuring it out on their own) might be better spent on the young guys. You transform Mudiay and Hezonja you're just inviting BS. One year of decent play and then they want to get paid.
