Knicks · Grimes more than 3&D (page 2)

TheGame wrote:Grimes has been my hope all season. I know it may just be me drinking the Kool-Aid, but I see Grimes as developing into our 2nd or 3rd best player. I like him more than RJ. His defense is better than Franks, and his offense has Klay Thompson type potential. He just needs to keep growing but I think we found our starting SG for the next 7-8 years.

How do I get in on this Marbury truck ride? Cause I'm so there

Jesus man, you slobber over an inkling of athleticism for most draftees and it feels like you poo-poo anything Knicks players do.

What did you think of Wiseman's GLeague romp? Where he finally got a game where he was a plus on the plus/minus scale for a game?

See while I want more consistent shooting for me if you ask me I think in terms of overall value Grimes is the better prize than RJ. Their shot creation upside is about the same with Grimes offering more tangible skills.

I think the huge problem with the knicks is building a team around your most inconsistent players. I think Grimes has been fairly consistent compared to RJ for example. But anybody compared to RJ will look consistent

Grimes is the man and always was. Just needed an opportunity to play. The good news is he worked on his game a little more, and the results was there during summer league.

Opportunities comes to those who are prepared.

Grimes was the rookie who showed good promise and worked hard, maybe too hard over the summer.
He just getting it back.

Players evolve.

RJ is 22. Not 26.
Panic time? Not really. This was the guy who previously had the hardest defensive assignment. Yes, he looks slower this year. Looks bigger.
I see reason to be concerned by this armchair panic thing I don't.

Hop on, there is plenty of run on the Grimes bandwagon.
