Just want to see us get some value out of ObiT.
And I think having him spot up for corner 3's probably isn't enough.
Sure spacing helps our guard-heavy bench unit, but our traditional C counters that.
If ObiT could play small ball C, or SF, we'd have more options.

I already suggested pushing the pace with Quix, RJB/Burks and ObiT in transition.  That'd use ObiT's skillset, and allow him to crash the glass as teams scramble to get into matchups.

Be nice to have ObiT contribute.  Can't rely on Julius and Burks and late career Rose to all have career years again.  Especially since Franc washed out, and Knox is out of the rotation and slipping away.  If we can't unlock ObiT, he likely has more value on a developing team that needs an energetic PF.

You guys excited about knick showing in vegas?

All kinds of reactions. Chip is VERY enthusiastic. But being PP#1, his opinion doesn’t really count in this context.

I don’t know why the Kamster said no. As PP#2, he seemed quite happy too.

BoZizzley just wants to get rid of Obi Toppin.

And chamacocartero8 is waiting to see if we have a consensus, so he can post something opposite with some silly argument, just to show us all that he’s a very stable genius, though not quite as genius or stable as the Trumptin.

Now, how about you?

Coming off a playoff appearance and saying goodbye to franky and knox I am jacked.

Knox
« Reply #20135 on: August 20, 2021, 02:12:57 PM »
KK has a different level of skillset than French Frank and has shown improvement.

The blood lust to "get rid" of Knox disturbs me as a rose colored Positive Pussy. 

The main sticking point for KK is D.  Purportedly his "motor" on D. 

For those who weren't paying attention, KK improved his game going to the basket as well as his long range shooting, not to mention his passing. 

Damn shame KK missed Summer League.

He has one more season to win over Thibs.  Before the Knicks have to decide on a qualifying offer.

Knicks picks knock Knox already nicked stock

For Obi/Grimes are seeing time. 

Kevin's heaven is man eleven.

More Thibodeaux sees he's man fifteen.

I like Bo's suggestion.

If we don't use Obi creatively, we can't expect to see much improvement.

In lineups where we’re not asking him to defend an NBA center, sure. Why not?

It’s an open question whether he’s further away from checking 3s or 5s. I think he’ll do a credible job on more small forwards than centers this season. If Jules takes the big and we rim protect by committee, that might also work. Another possibility is playing some kind of back line zone.

It has to be as much about them guarding us as vice-versa

Facing the basket (the 3, offensively) is right now not Toppin's strong suit - and he can be a great pick and roll guy.

Sorry - missed this before

I dont disagree

Where many don't agree with me is on Toppin's value.  I think he is a nice chip.

But...

who then as backup - and scoring - 4?

In other words - when we drafted Obi we actually NEEDED a scoring 4 for the second unit.  You just - as a non contender - weren't seeking that.
