Frank’s chances  
TyreeHelmet : 2/12/2018 9:42 pm : link
I’m sorry as much as I would love Hornacek to start and play Frank as much as possible, he just played 21 minutes and didn’t score or assist. That’s awful. Hornacek clearly isn’t a good coach but that’s on the player.
Notice the player development in Philly.

Covington and McConnell were scrap heap guys who Brett Brown has delevoped into solid pieces. A good coaching staff could do the same for Frank, Mudiay, Baker, etc., but we're stuck with a bunch of village idiots.
Frank

Will have to be a 2 guard. He has such a bad handle, how could he have ever been considered a future NBA PG. he should spend the whole summer in the weight room and hoisting 3’s, there is no chance he can play pg in the nba with a handle like that. He is starting to remind me of a less athletic Iman Shumpert. Hopefully he can develop the outside shot that shump never has developed. If he can become a 3-D guy it will be fine, again not ideal for a lottery pick when Mitchell was there, but it’s over and we have to focus on what Franks role will be in the future if this team.
Let's face it, our young players aren't very good, that's why they are

not playing. But that's fine, we want to tank anyway, let them sink or swim.

Hardaway is hard to root for, how Mills was allowed to sign him is just comical.

Mudiay doesn't seem to have any burst or creativity with the ball, he just relies on size to get into the paint. Granted I've only watched him briefly thus far, but he was having trouble even bringing the ball up against TJ McConnell.

Sadly I think you are right. I just can’t imagine his ball handling improving that significantly to become even an average starting NBA pg.

Hardaway is hard watch. He’s an overpaid version of Nick Young/ JR Smith. No defense/ low iq gunner. You don’t overpay for guys like that.

Knicks have plenty of young guys to play, they have one of the youngest team's in the nba, hornacek just refuses to play them...

As for mudiay the offense is awful, the point guard brings the ball up passes to one side and then basically goes and stands in the corner...

The centers are at the top of the key trying to run the offense...

Last night he played on instinct ran pick and rolls and had 10 assists, tonight they ran more offense and barely ran any pick and rolls...

Need a good lottery pick this year and next year....

and with KP's injury, that's a pretty good bet.
What good is a lottery pick if they are going to miss? I'd be  
Jim in Hoboken : 2/12/2018 10:06 pm : link
interested to look at Perry's track record. At this rate, they're probably picking from 7-10. With our luck, they'll probably draft Wendall Carter or Mikal Bridges.

Kevin Knox is probably the most promising player in that range.

This. While we're all glad the triangle is gone, this O system is not much better. Like you said, just playing pick and roll last night Mudiay was much more effective.
Yeah, we've already won too many games for a top five pick  
bceagle05 : 2/12/2018 10:17 pm : link
unless the ping pong balls miraculously bounce our way. We're hoping to find a good role player at this point. Knox, Sexton or either Bridges would help, but probably not move the needle too much.
Just once I like to see a PG  
bceagle05 : 2/12/2018 10:19 pm : link
cross half court and NOT pass it to Kanter or Kyle standing beyond the arc. Do we run the same exact set every time down?
Knicks lost!  
PaulBlakeTSU : 2/12/2018 10:29 pm : link
that's what matters most.
Our lottery luck

is way overdue.
Our losses to Chicago may come in handy.  
bceagle05 : 2/12/2018 10:41 pm : link
Only two games behind us now. Shame we already played our Nets games with KP. We could lose to them now.

0 for 14 in the lottery since Ewing. Cumulatively they’ve moved back 11 slots vs. a non-lottery draft system.
