The Three Things
« Reply #7770 on: October 14, 2019, 04:01:28 PM »
The three things/stories i'm most curious to see this year

1. The continued ascent of Mitchell Robinson

Easily my favorite Knick.  I want him to avoid sophomore slumping like so many recent Knick rooks.

2. The hard knock veterans we imported as Free Agents for "toughness"

I'm rooting for Taj and Marcus and Bobby and Julius to lay some hard fouls in the paint.

3.  RJB's rookie :saviour: season


The three things i don't want to see:

1.  Knicks perimeter guys not guarding the 3pt line.

2.  The continued lack of a credible playmaking PG since JKidd

3.  KP dominating for the Mavs

Good luck with that:

I think LeBron should come out with a special Hong-Kong edition sneaker.

fashionable for wear in the court of public opinion or the street

Power to the people!

who can afford a clset full of $200 sneakers

I'm rooting for KZ.
I did see some DAl highlights the other day and on three plays KZ looked a bit lazy.  But I have no idea of the context.

And maybe he's just being cautious.
I don't think you can judge KZ until 2020 kicks in.
Will take him a few months to get back in swing and get confidence in his repaired joints.

Like I said, a rival. 

But not rooting against him. 

As for his present up and down state, there is work out time and face time under combat conditions. 

Like BoD suggests, develop faith in his body and an expectation of what he can do. 

Just the mere threat of that 30 foot jumper will make Dallas a better team. 

That being said, it is DONIC's team. 

PS: Knicks missed out on Donic and Williamson.  Ended up with Knox and Barrett.  We shall see.

Mitch ranked #14 overall player in my Yahoo draft

Means I will likely get him in all drafts where I use autodraft.

I think Mitch is very intriguing.
But he's still a raw pup -- foul prone, etc.
I look forward to his development.
But expect it to take years.

Nice to see that Frank is unequivocally outplaying Monk so far this preseason. The gap between Frank’s value and Monk’s lack of it will only widen over the course of their careers.
