Knicks · Better sign Dink (page 1)

Dink is 19 and playing well. Team better sign him to a real deal. If Shamet can't go might have to sign Dink. Or cut Mcculler but Dink is very promising

"Dinkalicious"? I think that's grounds for a ban.

Sign Dink and bring him up. Cut the wing on the two way or McCuller. Dink is the wing on the bench we need to develop. Get him ready for next season. He can replace Pacome as soon as we trade Pacome

Dink looks to have more offensive potential than Pacome or McCullar. I would definitely give him a two-way to see how he develops over the next year but the Knicks are smart. If we see, then they see it. They have watched all the practices and games. If they think he is the real deal, they will keep him in the fold.

Haven’t been paying attention to all the games but the above may have been his first really good game.

Consistently will be his big hurdle. Got a lot of tools

For a 19 yo, I can overlook it. His FT% is 85%, which suggests he can be a good shooter eventually. 600 shots a day over the summer and working on eliminating bad shots should boost his FG% substantially. The real issue as Martin said is consistency and showing steady improvement. Still too early to tell, but given we have limited draft assets, we have to hope at least one of our young guys turns into a solid rotation player.

And can't loose him for nothing. Sign him to a pro deal we don't need all of three players we already have on two ways

Ya he needs a fuck ton of reps on shots and more. GLeague for another 2 years seems about right

The 5 assister per is encouraging. But three turnover per game is a nonstarter for a projected role player. I hope he continues to develop, but I don't think it's with the Knicks.

The Westchester GLeague team super sucks, and I'm not even sure they have a starting PG and maybe 6'8" Dink is doing just that. I really don't know and am guessing. He is 19 still.
