He’s got nice moves. He could be a great pick up when he gets more time to develop.
3 seed magic number is down to 3 (any combo of Knick wins and Indy losses)
OG must have snuck off to Germany during his ankle timeout to get an injection or 2 of those super drugs.
Bro even looks more buff

Good win. Shamet knocking down 3s in the playoffs would be huge. Mitch came back at the right time. KAT is starting to wear out. Kolek and Shamet work well together. Precious is starting to remind me of Jerome James. Playing lately like he's checked out.
Precious’ game dropped off a cliff when his minutes dropped.
Sucks because he was easy to root for, and has had lots of great moments since he arrived here.

You've seen Frank take more than 6 shots in game?

Oh yeah I was thinking back to back games

Prescious had a good game the last game, and he is normally not this bad. This was a singularly bad game for him.
He grabbed 9 boards- was a plus 8 in 27 minutes. Mikel lead the knicks with a +23 in spite of his horrid 6 for 16 shooting.
1 of 9 is 9.1%. That is really bad.
Rather play Weight over Kolek, when either Brunson or Deuce returns.
Precious is what he is a back up. I like him back for a good reasonable deal. Unless we can be get an upgrade in free agency or swing a minor deal.
I hope Wright is full time backup for playoffs. Much steadier than Payne and allows our wings to flourish with his unselfish play. Also, the defense can be really good with him + Mitch + our wings.
Precious’s issues are in his head. He needs to focus on winning his minutes w steady play, great D and rebounding
He gets mopey and it affects his play. Hoping PJ can get precious straightened out

His defense is really good. However, he doesnt really set anyone up. Kinda like Charlie Ward lite
I think about half of Precious' misses were a full 3 feet short of the basket. It was an elite level of awful that he brought last night.

I wonder when the last time he played PG, or if he ever did?
He has been halfway decent. His defense has been excellent, his rebounding a surprise and his shooting, especially from 3, eye opening.
How long can he sustain this level of play? He will play himself into a contract we can't afford!
On him vs. Kolek- I think Kolek's +/- is still better, some of that might be match ups, but Kolek is getting the offense moving. I think Wright would be more naturally suited to being a wing, and we have already lots. I think we saw Kolek and Wright out there - might have be garbage time at the end.
It's been like 3 games for Delon. Im not sure that gets him to a rotation spot, but he has certainly made the most of his opportunity. What he clearly offers us is a disruptive defender who at least has confidence on the offensive end. At the moment his shot is falling, but he shot an awful % with the Bucks. I think we can finally conclude that this was a useful trade for Sims, especially given the presence of Hukporti.
What I think we will see with Delon is coming in for the final defensive possesion of a quarter or as an offense/defense sub at the end of a game because of what he offers on that side of the ball. Could he displace Cam? That's an interesting question, but Cam has been one of our better reserves all year and his ability to put up some points in bunches has helped us on more than a few occasions. Cam gives a lot of effort defensively despite being size limited, so I don't see him as a negative there, but perhaps Delon's plus defense if paired with enough offense is a better fit for Thibs?
