I might go with Svi and Archi over Harris and Jefferies at this point, and I really like Jefferies.

We are getting into very situational waters here.

Having basically played sans point guards in 2021-22, who's to say we are not intent on keeping a substantial supply in the larder, for game AND practice contingencies. 

Hell, Thibs even played THREE POINT GUARDS [Rose, Quickley, McBride] with Hartenstein and Toppin the other night. 

Arcidiacano's Villinova connection to Brunson and his three point range kind of gives him a leg up. 

In 2018-2019, he got some burn for the Bulls, starting 32 games and averaging 24.2 minutes, a FT% of .873% and .373% from trey.  Useage came down over next two seasons, but has shown he can hit the three, which means something to Thibs.  He'll be 29 next March, 

Svi's size and range suggest an Alec Burks scaled big wing, who at 6'7" can offer coverage at SG & SF.  Basically gave the Pistons 9-2-2 in over 22.6 minutes in 56 games back converting at treys at a .404% clip [115-285] and an .814 FT%.   

Worth noting, that [potentially] with the 6'8" Reddish, the 6'7" Mykhailiuk, the 6'7" Fournier, the 6'6" Barrett and the 6'5" Grimes, Thibs would have a reasonable range of size at the SG-SF position, given that our PGs are in the Mighty Mouse Range, with the 6'1" Brunson, the 6'2" McBride, the 6'2" Rose, the 6'3" Quickley and the 6'3" Arcidiacono. 

While big PGs such as Doncic and Ball, Gilgeous-Alexander and Simmons are the next evolutionary wave of the species, smallish [well, relatively smallish] PGs abound and prosper in the NBA, where the 6'0" Paul, 6'0" Lowry, 6'1" Garland, 6'1" Van Vleet, 6'1" Young, 6'2" Lillard, 6'2" Curry, 6'2" Nunn, 6'2" Maxey, 6'2" Irving, 6'3" Wall, 6'3 Westbrook, 6'3" Holiday, and 6'3" Smart take a back seat to no one.  So when people take note of Brunson's HEIGHT, I reference his HEART and bulldawg physique. 



Anyway, our Knicks have a ways to go in a brutally competitive East, but I like how our squad is shaping up, and RJ is looking like he is entering 2022-23 in take no prisoners mode, looking for respect for his game and HIS TEAM.

I like having Hunt in our back pocket with no limits on practices and 50 games of availability.

We are deep, regardless how you feel about the nature and quality of our talent, at Center, shooting guard, and point guard. Our strongest position is also our thinnest one at PF, with Jericho or Cam needing to step in if anything happens to either of our studs.

If Svi can defend like a man possessed, we might have something there.

Someone who can come in ice cold off the bench and shoot like THAT, must've gotten Thibs attention. 

Hunt COMPETES.  He and Keels will get reps they need in Westchester.  Harris and Jeffries, too, though I can imagine someone taking a flyer on Harris. 

Thought Hunt was trying to demo his toughness and grit in going to the hoop against the Pacers, drawing shot blockers.  Might've better thought about pulling up for the jumper.  Like his length and athleticism. 



Meanwhile, inviting Kiid to fire up his Scoff-O-Meter, nevertheless, keeping on eye on DEVELOPMENTAL STASH, EuroLeague Rising Star Rokas Jokubaitis of the formidable FC Barcelona franchise, with some interesting stats, particularly his 3-PT shooting, in an admittedly small sample size, but still...RJ will be 22 in November.

Mykhailiuk has nice size at 6'7" and can really fucking shoot.  Arcidiacono too, who also has that connection with Brunson.  If I were a betting man, I'd say they are front runners, though Hunt offers additional size, athleticism AND depth at PF and SF.  Remains to be seen how Cam progresses and if Thibs feels comfortable penciling him in at SF-SG-PF.


Reddish may be dealt prior to opening night tip.  I am sure they are fielding offers.  Just not a real good fit here.   

Svi can shoot?  Yeah,imagine that.

You are a blind moron, Kid. I can only assume you have been this defective since birth.

A willful contrarin promulgating dumbass contraband.

No way Reddish is being traded before opening night

Pulled that out his ass, much as he was removed from his Mama's, simply to troll those on this forum who have a rooting interest in Reddish, by way of trumpeting his superior insights.
