I don't see it.
Unlikely that RJB could increase his 3FGA's by nearly 50% and up his %.

The other problem is that you really can't afford to have a guy shoot 5 treys a game if he's shooting around 32%.

He should work on his corner 3's.  Where he was poor.  Shortest 3-pointer and you often have more open space.

Without checking stats, it seemed his drives were effective, so his midrange 2's must have been horrendous, which is what I recall.

I’m for totally eschewing guards in this class. Okongwu, Killian Tille, and Naji Marshall would do fine for me. Let Bobby and Wayne go

Mitch Okongwu Taj
Randle Tille Knox
Harkless Ignas Marshall
RJ Bullock
Frank Payton DSJ

That is before approaching free agency with a pocket full of cash.

The only reason we have less promise than any other team has nothing to do with the roster. It's James Dolan.

His track record is impeccably awful. No other team has him. Surely the greatest disadvantage in pro sports.

That said, there's no particular reason a turn around can't happen very quickly, should Rose be a Rose. This ain't football. A couple of players turn a roster. Mitch, RJ, a draft hit, the right free agent, Woot there it is.

When Larry Johnson finally said OUCH, that was it. 

JVG bailed shortly thereafter.

Coincidence?

As a coach it’s good to have a lead dog who wants to play the way you want to play and the gravitas to get everyone else on board. LJ was certainly that for JVG.

Who then among our puppies might emerge as a leader for these Knicks, be it for Miller or Thibs? 

Hard to project, LJ being such a singular, street cred kind of cat.

Oak once said something to the effect that you could tell LJ had eaten his share of soup with a fork.

You also need multipliers, underlings who will follow and call out guys who do not.

Ward, Harper, Billups....

Charlie Ward.

A criminally underappreciated Knick.

A Gutsy, Selfless LEADER. 

An indelible memory etched in my mind, is of Ward planting his feet, gritting his teeth and of taking a charge from Shaq that knocked him into the photographer's scrum behind the basket.  OFFENSIVE FOUL.

Charlie got up like this was an everyday occurrence, but I mean, My....GOD.

PS: One of the reasons I hope we have a 50/50 shot at Van Vleet.  Not just skills, but STONES.

That's the Heisman in him.  Trained to take hits.

Yeah....


 a little worried though that FVV may be a system guy, looking real good in a perfect offensive scheme and with perfect personnel for him currently

Thus

I am out if he prices himself out (big $$/big years)

Bucher on the Warriors

"There is no guy you'd give up the No. 1 pick and Andrew Wiggins for," says the Western Conference executive. "I don't know that that guy is available. Besides, if you do go all in and trade Wiggins and the pick for some 30-year-old star, now you're looking at your core all aging out at the same time. You don't want to wake up and find yourself like the Celtics."
