RJ and Burks can be the offensive workhorses. Everyone else needs to be focused on helping their teammates if they want to succeed.

As long as Randle can limit Obi more than Obi can limit Randle, Randle should start.

The same goes for Payton and any other lead guard.

DSJ really shit the bed so far.  This was supposed to be his comeback year.   Shooting with Mahmoud Abdul Rauf.  If he can't defend he can at least run a team , if he can't run a team he can at least learn to shoot.  Early returns not good on the shooting.  What is his NBA skill?

lol, he has been awful, like out-of-the-NBA pretty quick awful, picking right up from where he left off last year. I'm hoping he gets more run and a chance to show ANYTHING these next two preseason games but suspect we ain't gonna see him again once the W's & L's mean something.


*** four preseason games and no real camp ain't much to get in any kind of groove — after 8 months off, marginal players on delete 8 teams really did get screwed — but Coach has games to win so it is what it is

Watching the 1Q of BKY-WAS.
Avdija looks good.  Nice feel for the game.
Moves well, popped his first 3.
One trip, got the FT rebound, dribbled up court, used a screen to penetrate to the FT line and dropped a pass
down low to an open Mo Wagner for a jam (KD spaced out on D).
Deni also calling plays and aware on D. 

Deni and ObiT two of the most NBA rooks.

I knew Nash had Dantmanbee as an assistant.
But I didn't realize he had added Amare as well.
Amare knows Avdija from last year in Israel.

Cassius Winston looks pretty solid.  Could be a nice backup PG.
Mo Wagner looking spry in pre-season.
Hachimura energetic, though I thought he was a little taller than 6'8".

Kyrie & Durant made scoring look easy.  Though both were iffy on D.  But of course it's pre-season.

I couldn't find the Knix replay.
And only watched 1Q of the Nets.

Well, you gotta identify that somebody.
Especially when you're at the bottom as we are.
It seemed clear there'd be some pretty good PG prospects in the 20's.
I'm sure we checked out Malachi who sounded interesting.


Yeah - pessimist in me says we may be relying a bit too much on being Team Kentucky

I know Calipari wanted Quickley here, as he did with Malik Monk - who would have fit nicely.

But after Knox.....

Needed the shooter, no doubt.  Get er done, IQ.

Sczerbiak really pubbing Payton, who I see was a +9 but limited to just 17 minutes

PG worries may be a bit overblown

Ron Harper Jr.

Keep an eye on Ron Harper's kid who plays for Rutgers.   Could be one of our 1st round selections.

Rutgers is 5 - 0 !!!

I thought Smith to be shaky on 2 plays in first quarter, but made a couple of nice passes, moved the ball ok at times

One particular juke and baseline drive yielded a Mitch dunk

Noticed the statline was 3-1 assist/to but Knicks sadly clanked 2 early DSJ setups

The next John Battle!

Thanks for the heads up.
I'll tell my father, a Seton Hall alum, to check out Jr. Harp and these Scarlet Knights.

If he was a Knick right now Ron Harper Jr would be easily one of our 5 best players.
