but for the sake of conversation, he's appeared in four NBA games - one was his NBA debut (obvious nerves) and another two were spot minutes coming off an injury with no practice time. The one game he played under "normal" circumstances was against Brooklyn, where he scored 17 points and looked good doing it. He's in for a rough night against the Toronto wings, but hopefully he settles in after that.
needs to become a better shooter to reach anything close to his NBA potential.
The whole thing was that he had the mechanics and stroke to be able to knock down those shots. I'm farrrrrr from a basketball expert, but I don't really understand that logic. If the shots aren't falling for him when he has a picture-perfect stroke, why would they fall for him in the future?
he knocked down shots in college, what are you talking about?

Practice. He's been playing a high level of basketball for basically 2 seasons.
Fiz says that Knox wasn't even practicing. He went in for 9 minutes Â

No, he didn't. He was a streaky shooter, kind of like what we're seeing now.

he shot 35 percent from 3 and 50 percent from 2...
that is far from streaky and saying he can not make shots

You keep saying that. 34% from 3 isn't good. It may even be below average. 50% from 2...that's not that great either. Besides, how many of those were field goals?
He's an inconsistent shooter. He's more of a volume scorer than a shooter and I don't think he eclipsed above average TS% last year at Kentucky.
34% doesn't move the needle at all but it's certainly within the realm of possibility that that number goes up with development and that should't take long at all. Kristaps shot 33% as a rookie, and closed out 2017 shooting 39%
The top 100 current career active leaders in NBA 3P%, Curry is at the top at 43%, but he's going to the hall of fame and shouldn't be the standard for anyone.
Dirk is a career 38%
JR Smith .37% (lol)
Hayward .366%
Harden .365%
KP .360%
34% for an 18 year old who was mainly a football player Â
Except I'm not. Knox was an extremely inconsistent shooter at Kentucky (undeniable), 34% from 3 line is average to below average and I'd still like to know how much of that 50% from 2 were drives/lay-ups and how much were actual field goal jumpshots.
So unless you have something to provide that NYGiants16 didn't, I suggest you take a walk.
Emmanuel Mudiay is dealing with an ankle injury but he may play on Saturday against Toronto. Mudiay has averaged 13.5 points and 2.5 assists in the Knicks' past two games. David Fizdale inserted Mudiay as his backup point guard, ahead of Trey Burke during that span. "I think the most important thing that's happened for him is when he got hurt he got a chance to take a step back and watch everything," Fizdale said of Mudiay, who missed the Knicks' first six games with an ankle injury. "And I think he has a really high IQ and sees the floor well so it kind of helped him digest the system and how things work. And took some pressure off him I think as well. I don't know. I think our staff has done a heck of a job developing him and working on his game with him. And obviously I pump a ton of confidence in him. And I do have a lot of confidence in him. And so I've been really been happy with the way he's been performing."

Interesting framing of his role as a coach. I don't think Horny talked the same way.
David Fizdale said Thursday that injured All-Star Kristaps Porzingis was at the stage of light running -- but not sprinting -- in his rehab from an ACL tear. After those comments were published in media reports, Porzingis posted pictures of himself sprinting on Instagram.

They gotta get KP on board. Clearly the knicks want to hold him out as long as possible. KP needs to understand the long term plan.

Fizdale did not even say anything wrong, he basically said he doesnt want to get ahead of himself woth kp and get excited about having him back..
plus he knew if he said kp was running aprints he would be asked a million questions every day and didnt want to put pressure on kp...
I hope the Knicks use him to their best advantage even if that means trading him on their terms. This whole franchise player thing from a guy who has accomplished nothing and can't stay healthy is total bullshit.
You got understand though they’re his pride involved. Â
I assure you KP is way further along than coach wants to admit. The Knicks are in no rush to bring KP back, they are better off the longer he doesn’t play. I’m sure KP doesn’t want to be viewed as a slow healer.

KP himself said he was going to take it slow and did not want to ckme back until he is 110%...
I guarantee he saw how well some of the young guys are playing and the style they are playing and is thinking if he is out there they win a few more of these games...
you could see the impatience coming especially when he posted about how much he misses playing...
he has no outside representation, it is all family in his ear and when that happens they are all going to side with him. No one is going to explain the other side and no one is going to say listen this is probably where they are coming from...
instead he gets the well look they are throwing you under the bus got to take care of yourself.
i bet he got home and someone told him you got to show you are sprinting because this makes you look bad..

because it makes it seem like kp didnt like fizdale saying he was not sprinting yet and it makes it seem like him and the front office are not on the same page...
First off, we can agree that it's in the Knicks best interest to hold KP out as long as possible. The other kids will get more PT and experience and the Knicks should lose more games thus giving them a better shot at a good pick.
We can also agree that the league and/or players union would not be ok with the Knicks holding KP out when he's healthy to play.
I also believe that KP is way further along in his recovery than Fizdale is letting on, way futher. If the Knicks were competitive, he'd probably be playing in Dec/Jan at the latest, but considering the situation, they are taking in extra slow. The guy was jumping off of a boat 3 months ago. If he's only jogging now, he would have blown his knee up doing that. Ive had 2 ACL reconstructions, I'm speaking from experience.
Therefore, the Knicks don't want people thinking that KP is anywhere close to playing. HOwever, KP doesn't want people thinking that he's soft or a slow healer. That's why I think KP showed that.

i agree with that...
my point was that kp should of went to fiz first and say hey why did you say i am not running yet...
kp loves to make everything out in the open, i would rather that stuff be kept in house..
it makes it seem like they are all not on the same page qhen kp himself said he was going to take it slow
it's because his knee isn't stable enough to do more and the muscles around his knee aren't strong enough yet. If that's the case, I assure you that jumping off the boat like he did was a major risk to his knee. He's so much further along than the Knicks are saying.
I agree. I bet the KNicks don't want KP doing that, it's making them look like liars and sending up red flags. They need to delay his return as long as possible and they won't be able to do that if KP is showing the world that he's ready.
Hopefully he only plays in 20-30 games which would mean sometime towards the end of Feb, beginning of March.

it is just annoying at this point, the vibe around the team and the view from around the league has changed. and now the media has ammo to create a narrative of dysfunction and not everyone on the same page once again
but I don't think it's that big of a deal...yet. It concerns me because I question whether KP is on the same page. I understand it, it's his legacy/career at stake. He has to worry about whats best for him and he probably wants to play when he's ready. He doesn't want to sit the whole year.

I get he wants to play, i have no doubt he is anxious to play. i would be worried if he was not anxious to play..
because they really don't want him to play, but they have to make it appear as though he's not ready. KP has to understand that. Maybe he does and doesn't care, I don't know.
So will KP get the max extension if he doesn't play this year? Â
Hopefully it's more rust than anything and getting time on the floor helps him.

For what it’s worth...
Then again people also found a way to bash hardaway and his 34 so what do I know.

KP needs to unlearn what he has been shown, and not everything said in the press is a veiled attack.
