Knicks · Bullish on Deuce (page 50)

The Dunk, Part 2?

Starks is my favorite player ever growing up. Deuce is my favorite Knick player since his draft class.

But THE DUNK is a hall of fame dunk in Knicks history. Probably the top dunk. I can’t disrespect what Starks did but deuce dunk is………(Starks like).

So maybe I just talked my way back into agreeing with you? 🤷‍♂️

Eitherway GREAT DUNK. Love me some deuce. Easy underdog type player to root for. I always hoped he would improve his PG skills but maybe his best skill is 3&D spark plug. Like the microwave (Venny)

Last 5 games: 20-32 3pts = 62%

yeah that's insane

Deuce was a bit disappointing last season. Nice to see him stepping up, I think he could give us that IQ 15ppg off the bench/starter occasionally. He can get to 30mpg.

Still wish Knicks had Grimes and Deuce off bench

So what is it going to cost to lock this kid up on his extension contract?

Can't let him get away

23 games a decent but not definitive sample size

I feel the same but Grimes thinks he is a starter and wants big money. So the front office figured out he would never be a good fit once his rookie contract was done.

Yeah

I think there is a sense that the FO will try to figure out where they are comfortable extending a player, and if that player is out of that range, a trade will happen. But you will go to a team and place that could be beneficial for you.

I think that’s right

In a perfect world is grimes still a knick? Bogan salary enabled the Mikal trade.
He had the starting job. His window. He could not stick it. Did Thibs ruin him or elevate him?
Did he need more time to sort it out?
In a world where he is coached by brown, next to Jalen, is this a good combo?
We'll never know. Good kid. Hope he he finds his path.
