Knicks · Luca Vildoza **** Linsanity La segunda parte (page 1)
Jimbo5 wrote:I really like Luca as a player if he can be a younger version of Prigioni that would be great. I think Argentinian players have a certain toughness built in them. I just think with the Knicks, Luca might be a victim of circumstances. The knicks love what DRose bring more so as a spark off the bench. I think Luca has until the start of free agency to convince Thibs and the FO that he can have a major role in this Knick team next year. If the Knicks sign any of the PG that they have interest in like Ball, Nunn, CP3, Lowery or trade for Graham that will put Luca in an awkward situation. I hope im wrong but if they do that and Luca remains in the team, we might be looking at next year's Frank.
Next year's Frank?? Why? Is he also afraid to shoot? Afraid to drive? And will cost us a lottery pick? 
By signing Luca to multiple years, I feel the FO felt he would at least fill the back up PG role nicely and also has a chance to become a solid starting PG in the league, with time. But you are right, it is all quite early. The Draft, FA and who we resign is still TBD and that will dictate what his role will be. Highlights look like he may be a solid player. But we know how accurate hype video is.

In the sense that alot of fans think that he can be a contributer in the team instead he rides the bench not being able to see the floor. Im not saying they have the same skill set, their skill sets is way different from each other. I think Luca can be a very good point guard in the NBA, the question is, will he get the chance to showcase it if the knicks bring in say Ball, CP3, Nunn while keeping DRose as the team's 6th man.

I mean I love Frank, but the dude was clearly reading the book Dennis Smith Jr left behind after the trade... you know the one, "How you play your way out of the NBA"HofstraBBall wrote:Jimbo5 wrote:I really like Luca as a player if he can be a younger version of Prigioni that would be great.
