I'm just saying you're going to have your heart broke when we let him go.
Celebrate him. A two-season Knick at most. Why would he come back here after we let him go?
Also, no matter what stats he puts up there is simply no way to get any value for him. We might as well enjoy him while he’s here.
Bridges has nice shooting percentages, but he’s not exactly lighting the world on fire. He’s also got Kemba, Nic, and Tony setting him up which doesn’t hurt. Knox has played through 3 games not counting the one he got hurt in or his time against the Bulls. Let them both get a few more games in at least before making comparisons.
I saw Bridges play in Charlotte against the Thunder, and he has a nice motor and big time hops.
Was on the outside looking in as far as the team's set offense, and anything he did was opportunistic in terms of offensive boards and the like.
Looking at him longingly while seemingly dismissing Knox is all too typical of our Brother Kiid, who having most recently lamented what a nice Knick DiVincenzo would've made [nicer than Demyean Dotson or Allonzo Trier?], floats the notion that somehow we blew it in selecting Knox.
I eagerly await Kiid's posts about how we should have traded up to select Wagner ahead of Robinson.
Sigh.
A pattern seems to emerge, no? A Rhapsody In Beige.
Bridges was most definitely on our radar screen at #9, as was the equally impressive Wendell Carter, had he fallen to us.
In point of fact [FACT], it was how Knox comported himself and competed in a pre-draft scrimmage against Bridges himself that sealed the deal as far as Fizdale-Perry-Mills were concerned.
Would I have been chill with Miles Bridges?
Most def.
Do I think he is "better" than Knox?
No.
And at 6'7" 220, compared to the 6'9" 215 Knox?
Alas, one cannot draft EVERYONE.
Dismissing Knox based on a sample of what, three games.
Get a grip dude.
PS: You want to project a player to target for these Lottery Bound Knicks in the age of positionless hoops, to pair up front with KP & KK? ZION WILLIAMSON. My...GOD. Puts me in mind of Larry Johnson and Hank Gathers and Grant Hill.
PPS: Nagel & Kam & Biz & Dawg are all tight with THE DIVINE. By all means, ratchet up the level of prayer, petition for a Top Three Pick and prepare human sacrifices if needs be.
Zion...Zion...ZION...OOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM....
