Knicks · Luca Vildoza signed! (page 1)

EwingDeChile @ 4/28/2021 1:06 PM

Not very familiar with his game, but a quick review of spanish basketball sites call him "the best PG in europe". He was named MVP of the spanish league final last season and scored the winning basket against Barcelona.

If things go smoothly expect a HUGE spike in ratings in Latin America.

He looks like a wizard with the the ball. Doubt this is a 10 day contract.

The kid has skills!! Based on the highlights, I see some Rondo in his game; the vision and the intelligent ball fakes in the paint. Seems to have a nice release on the jumper and looks like he plays with a high motor. Good pick-up.

The overly optimistic view, maybe a combo of Rose, Luca and Quick can hold down the PG slot next year which will allow us save a max slot for the loaded FA class of the summer of 2022.

Maybe we cutting Payton!

Hopefully he works out and we can move on from Frank and Payton.

If they are buying out his contract, i seriously doubt it's for a NBA try out.

Looks like a skill full player, but was he on anybody else RADAR or are we just that lucky

Fixed

So he went undrafted in the 2017 draft

OMG!!! This is the best news I’ve had all day!! Didn’t think this was genuine. I can only think that you do not know who Vildoza is?!!?

I’m very familiar with this guy, I watch a lot of euro league games, been a long term admirer of his game. Best pg in Spanish league / Europe by a massive margin. Did hear that he had plans to declare for the 22 draft?

This is a major coupe for us. Kudos to our scouts. Unbelievable.

In summary similar playmaking ability to Campazzo ( Argentine international playing for DEN. ) Far superior offensively. Decent size and length, crafty defender, combination of aggression and intelligence when attacking the basket. Shoots decent percentages ( FT meh? ). Only concerns being speed and athleticism possibly below nba level.

Please give this guy minutes.

Plays both sides of the floor

I’m so happy with this pick up, Vildoza adds some of the things we’ve been missing.

If he can reliably hit that 50 footer from out of bounds we won’t even have to run any plays.

That guy never misses!

As long as we actually sign him instead of the Nets swooping in again

Very smart pickup. With a diverse set of skills....shooting and passing and dribbling...high IQ. Can't believe he wasn't picked up by another team. Guess the buy out was the issue for some teams. This is where having an owner like Dolan is a benefit....due to his deep pockets.

Nah, I'm cool with them signing Mike James. Wasn't that impressed with him during his first stint, tho he did start off hot.
