Who said here DeAndre didn’t mind the DNPs issued by our SMARMY PHONY “coach”?
Uh, DeAndretheGiant himself said so.
And just yesterday, DeAndre said he liked his time in NY, thought Fiz was a very good coach, likes the yute movement NYK is undergoing. And he again repeated that the DNP's were weird, but it was a mutual decision and he agreed to it.
His options: mentor some pups on another crappy Knick team OR compete for the East title on a stacked Nets team with Kyrie and Durant . . .
We had no frontcourt other than Mitch & Knox. Knox doesn’t even count as he is still wafer thin.
Knox isn't thin. Good frame. He can fill out more and I assume he'll be more muscled as a 20 year old after an off-season of workouts. Knox main issue of defense is awareness and reaction. Not body.
All three signings are productive inside/outside guys, the kind of bigs you need to make space for both Mitch and our drivers at guard and wing. If you don’t have a rotation of big men available, every night can get ugly.
So Randle did shoot nearly 200 3's and made 34% last year.
His first year shooting 3's. Not bad.
When I saw NOPe, he was mostly a freight train, running through and over folks.
Terrifying on the break. Prone to commit charges.
I don't recall his 3's. But more than 1/6th of his shots were 3's. Expanding his game. Just 24.
Will be interesting to see his progress.
Still strikes me as a player not easy to build around.
And mostly a paint clogger.
But I didn't realize he stretched his game . . .
Mostly his range extends to 10 feet.
There will be limited driving lanes when Mitch and Randle play together. Negating R&B's nascent game. Expect Knox to be shooting 3's then as well. Unless we really let Randle become an outside shooter. Could work.
Taj has taken 101 3's in his 10 year career. but is trying to add a corner 3.
I like our day 1 better than Brooklyn’s.
I like your extremely misplaced loyalty . . .
