Trust, but no 3 point shot

necessity is the mother of invention.


Isaiah Roby was a really solid reserve his second and third year in the league. The backup power forward slot is his if he can find his three point shooting stroke.

Could be interesting

Did they literally cut and paste Donte's image over Obi's in that pic?

You cut it so deep man

Interestingly Donte was picked highest of the three.

Logic dictates more moves. These guys plus RJ, Grimes, IQ, even Deuce. Lotta guards not enough minutes. Meanwhile we could use more size at the 3 and a backup 4. Or….?

I think RJ can definitely play the 4 in a smaller lineup or for some spot backup minutes.

Positionless basketball is real, dammit!

Brunson
Donte
jHart
RJ
iHart

Think I noted this in some other post but Donte had more +5 assist games last year than IQ.

I think it was 24 games which seems pretty damn good for a guy off bench playing ~26 mins a game.

Other things are - he makes quick decisions, no selfishness, rebounds and defends at a high level.
Throw in he shoots high volume of 3’s so his #s aren’t based in 2 or 3 attempts but he’ll let it fly.
SMART PLAYER and I have to assume Knicks will add/trade for a longer 3/4 at some point to lengthen the rotation some.

LivingLegend @ 7/1/2023 11:49 PM
Idontknow but watching those 22-23 Donte highlights and he looks like better passer vs anyone we have right now.
MS @ 7/2/2023 12:14 AM
You know who would have loved playing with him… Obi! Is the irony.

He’s going to really help create multiple lineups and make the game easier. We will be able to stagger minutes. He can play some point and the 2 with Brunson allowing RJ to be the offensive focal point with Randle and Brunson off the floor.

Great cultural fit and another very good contract.

Let's hope Jericho been working on his shooting and comes back with a lethal 3 pt shot both a pull up and corner 3.

I would be stunned, not sure he has the handles or potential for that

Agree 100%. Not even sure i like the guy but certainly suggests a move for someone like OG who can play 3 and backup at 4. We/re not done
