NFT: Knicks Chat: Hernangomez expected to play in Olympics

DanMetroMan : 7/19/2016 9:15 am
Marc Gasol is out (injured) Hernangomez expected to not only make the team not, but play and receive significant minutes. Should be fun to watch.
Normally, these players get worn down from playing too much  
robbieballs2003 : 7/19/2016 9:19 am : link
and rookies usually hit a wall in the NBA because of how many times a week they play plus the total amount of games played. However, this is probably a good thing because I don't think he will play significant minutes this year so the more experience he gets the better.
Spanish league doesn't play many games in their season.

so it'll be good for him. There's nothing that's going to prepare him for the NBA grind anyway, so might as well play.
Looking forward to it

It'll be good to see him play

Not to worried about the NBA grind for him. He's only gonna play 10 mpg at best anyway.
Isn't he afraid of that Zika?

How awfully brave of him.
Same with Mindaugas Kuzminskas

but what is your opinion on Holliday? I really don't know much about him. What's a basic scouting report on him?

Has potential to be a 3 and D guy. Bulls fans really like him and were upset that we swapped Grant for him.

I have no idea but asked this question a week or so ago. Someone said Shumpert with a better 3 point shot. I said I would definitely sign up for that.
Shumpert

I don't know anything about this guy, but he's now my second favorite Knick.
Holiday playing well here

would take away most if not all of the sting from dealing away Grant.

Bulls fans already hate Grant. They think his B-Ball IQ is too low and he has an awful shot. This despite him winning the Game MVP yesterday. They think he's a DNP waiting to happen.

Holiday is a pending UFA and will be 28 when his new deal starts (with us or elsewhere).

but then you have to give Holiday a new deal next summer whereas Grant was under a very cheap deal for 3-4 more seasons.

Why would Knicks fans listen to what Bulls fans think about Grant's IQ?

Grant actually has pretty good BBIQ. Now there are some Knicks fans who will say he was bad at everything last year, but that's a silly position. He needs to improve his shot and his physical strength. He's at least a 4th guard right now.

They're basing it off of the Summer League. It's hilarious. They already hate Grant and frankly, I don't mind.

herangomez started last night vs lithuania  
nygiants16 : 7/19/2016 12:23 pm : link
played well in first half against valuncunia and then second half had a rough go..

I think I saw he had something 10 points and 6 boards in 13 minutes
Surprised about the BBIQ  
kash94 : 7/19/2016 1:16 pm : link
part - wasn't that his strength coming out of school? I wouldn't take anything away from summer league. Bulls will have a completely different roster + strategy regular season
He played 4 years for Notre Dame, a solid and respectable program  
Ten Ton Hammer : 7/19/2016 1:24 pm : link
And had basketball in his bloodline. I can't easily accept that he has a "low IQ" for the game.
I've  
DanMetroMan : 7/19/2016 2:54 pm : link
been a big time critic yet I didn't perceive any BBall iq issues. Shot was surprisingly poor, and oddly weak, underdeveloped but if anything he seemed like he knew how/what to do but was unable to.
I dont think it was low iq  
nygiants16 : 7/19/2016 3:14 pm : link
I just think he was slow to react to things on the court, he would try and make a pass and just be a second to late with it, it almost looked like he was guessing kn the court rather than just going out and reacting and playinh..

he looked scared at times which was weird for a guy who played in big games in college and was a 4r year player...

the worry with grant is he has a low ceiling and has hit close to his peak
Grant looked like he was struggling  
Aspano! : 7/19/2016 3:20 pm : link
to pick up the system. Not sure if he would have developed into a decent starter or backup, but thought he would have been an ok stopgap this year prior to the Rose trade. Oh well.
gotta give something to get something.  
Heisenberg : 7/19/2016 3:30 pm : link
Grant can still be a player. It's possible that he'd see a big improvement this year under Hornacek. But I'm happy with the moves of the summer overall.

The four year thing is a legit issue/concern. Definitely limits your upside. Remember he's only 3 years younger than Rose I think
