Drummond
« Reply #17580 on: March 16, 2021, 07:01:14 PM »
I am not completely down on Drummond. 

I think on the right team, he could make a solid contribution. 

They Nyets, the Celtics, the Wizards?

Sure. 

The Knicks.

No way. 

Something to explore over the summer? 

Perhaps?  I wouldn't, but wonder what Thibs might think. 

Too one dimensional for Knicks.  Clog the lane.  Poor mesh with Randle. 

Surely not for anything vaguely like the money he will be looking for.  For Kanter money?  Mmmmmmm.

Not a good fit. 

For NOW?

For RIGHT NOW?

Whatsoever our limitations might be, we have....CHEMISTRY. 

Drummond would muck it up. 

Knicks would have to adjsut to him, rather than the other way around. 

In mid-season? 

No thanks. 

Not to mention, Mitchell had won over Thibs when he got hurt.  Doesn't need the ball to make an impact. Neither does Noel. 

Excellent rebounder, but not that fantastic a shot blocker. 

Also, Drummond is a horrific FT shooter, and his total number of attempts has plummeted in the past two seasons. 

Finally, his conditioning is a concern.  Still a young man, and surely a physical presence, but why did both Detroit and Cleveland give up on him?

HELLO.

Crazy play off a jump ball on the knicks side of the court.  Knicks retain possession Randles spins into two sixers and nearly loses the ball. He manages to find Frank at the three pt line.  Frank thinks its a hot potato and as Taj is at the free throw line extended pointing at Burks at the top of three pt arc Frank fires a pass that hits Taj in his pointing hands.  Taj then gets it to Randle, I think, who shoots it, Frank manages to secure the offensive rebound.  Dribbles in front of the bench on the sideline and passes backwards towards halfcourt and the Philly player easily picks it off.  Then Frank runs back and manages to steal it back.  Burks I think eventually scores on the play.

Tough loss in a game we played well through three quarters.

Tobias Harris is a hell of a scorer when you let him go to his right.

We frustrated the hell out of Simmons though.

Thibs might consider getting Knox in ahead of Obi. Knox seems to have a bit more propensity to make the right play at this point.

Bullock was never out of bounds.

And Randle was fouled on the pass.

Why not use the challenge? Worried about challenge percentage won?

Can you challenge when you have no timeouts left? Then what happens if you lose the challenge?

Yeah. If there's a mandatory timeout or the other team calls one.

Which is what happened, no?
