Au Revoir 3-18 on 3's with DEN.
Meanwhile 5'10" Argentinian Campazzo doing a nice job at starting PG.
Went for 19 / 10 / 6 + 2 steals & a block v. NOPe.
And a pest on D.
Last 10 games, 44% / 42% / 93%
I was wondering if Campazzo might be the reason the Knix started looking South America way.
Some pretty dope highlights
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1j2_z39S9E&t=131sVildoza was Campazzo's successor in Madrid.
He likes those Quickley parking lot range threes.
Has a good handle and a tricky cross over.
Good faciltator.
Plays defense.
Is bigger than Campazzo [6'3" svs 5'11"]
Madrid plays big time basketball.
Knicks employ a full time EuroScout, in Kevin Wilson, who lives in Barcelona.
Part of the hype, GRAIN OF SALT, is that back in 2019 Kobe saw him and was quite taken by his game.
The lingerinq questions revolve around his speed, quickness and physical attributes.
Clearly, he can ball...how might it translate to the NBA?
Campazzo? How about our own beloved PABLO PRIGNONI, a ray of light during an era of Knick Darkness.
SO. ONCE AGAIN. All of the dipshits in the media who were mocking the Knicks for not being active on the free agent front at the deadline and failing to get big time shiny objects such as the Earthly Remains Of Oladijpo, are undressed.
Rivers brought back some #2 picks, and Ignatz's long goodbye opened up roster space.
All of the shuffling of Two-Way and Ten-Day Contracts bought positive vibes amongst free agents and developmental players, being rewarded financially for their hard work and committment to the Knicks.
The Knicks went on a competitive run for the roses following the deadline, are no in fourth place in the East on the cusp of a really tough Western Swing, and ended up with useful players very much in the Thibodeau MOLD, in Pelle and Vildoza.
AGAIN, no shiny objects, no long term contracts, a lot of make do of "talent" that was roundly mocked as if we had farted away our free agency, and did not sign any one of import.
Rose and WWW, Perry and Perrin, are proceeding as if our front office is committed to player development, with the patience to build a culture...I mean, it is almost as if we...
HAVE A FUCKING PLAN AND ARE STICKING TO IT.
