Three threes is nice, good to see he's got his shot early. Trier his usual aggressive self and making plays. Great to see. I'm hoping Barrett realizes he doesn't have to try and save the franchise and just plays his game as time comes, no rush.
Draining 3s early  
flycatcher : 7/5/2019 10:11 pm : link
Knox and trier playing strong, gotta like it
Defense outside of Knox and Mitch a little shaky to say the least  
jgambrosio : 7/5/2019 10:12 pm : link
Ugly whiff by RJ led to a Zion dunk too
That's the upside of Zion and the downside of Knox right now  
81_Great_Dane : 7/5/2019 10:13 pm : link
Zion is very strong. Knox... isn't.
Yeah those RJ free throws need some work.

Barrett free throws  
GMEN46 : 7/5/2019 10:16 pm : link
Haha those were the worst free throws I have seen in a long time. The one early thing on Barrett that I did not realize is he is nowhere as athletic as I thought. I had not really seen him play a lot.

Barrett and Knox are both still teenagers. I would expect both to still add more strength and explosiveness.

Yeah these 5 minutes of play is really showing how unathletic he is!!!!!!!!
Probably some nerves  
jgambrosio : 7/5/2019 10:19 pm : link
They were also when Davis walked in to meet lefraud for their date, so I'll give him a pass. He looked better on the and 1

Yea really unathletic on the reverse layup while getting fouled...
I realize that people are tuning in to see Williamson  
81_Great_Dane : 7/5/2019 10:27 pm : link
and maybe Barrett, but the breathless swooning for Zion is a bit much. We can see how he's doing, you don't need to hype him. And it would be nice to acknowledge that the Knicks are dominating the game, and that there are other players on the floor.
Iggy on the board.

Playing very aggressive. Good to see on day 1, esp for a 'shooter' (he's not Steve Novak & not all he does!)
Yikes Mitch down hard and stayed down

Hopefully he's ok.

You want ugly free throws? Iggys got ugly free throws.

Mitch, kid is going to be a player
Mitch. Oop Dunk

then 1 more

Sit him, no more SL. He's ready lol
Ha just noticed Tyler cavanaugh is on the team  
jgambrosio : 7/5/2019 10:34 pm : link
He spent some time at GW as a transfer from wake forest, surprised he's getting cups of coffee in the NBA

He needs to increase his in game stamina. Let him play
Mitch looks great.  
81_Great_Dane : 7/5/2019 10:35 pm : link
But I still want to see him develop an old-fashioned post-up game.
Mitch doing just fine  
Giantology : 7/5/2019 10:35 pm : link
Blocks a Zion 3 and then gets back for the dunk. Sick.
I don't no much about them...  
ChaChing : 7/5/2019 10:36 pm : link
but 41 / Wooten's ups are pretty good. Tho he had an awful D sequence basically letting Zion get that dunk end 1st

#16 PG has made a few nice plays, decent looking J too. Is it Hinton? Not sure who that is
I just have this feeling  
Canton : 7/5/2019 10:36 pm : link
Robinson is going to explode this season.

That Dunk was sweet.
I think robinson  
dep026 : 7/5/2019 10:37 pm : link
Is going to lead the league in blocks and fouls. Man he’s aggressive defensively.

That was sarcasm (see 'lol')...But I'm with you
I should not  
GMEN46 : 7/5/2019 10:37 pm : link
Have said unathletic for Barrett, def not what I meant. Maybe not as athletic as I thought. I guess hard to tell when zions in the court.
Solid game for Trier  
jgambrosio : 7/5/2019 10:39 pm : link
Another guy they can probably just sit the rest of the league games
#16 is someone named Peters  
ChaChing : 7/5/2019 10:40 pm : link
Knox was about to rock the rim right there

Trier's shot looking prettier (not just the makes, J looks smooth & controlled)
Interesting to hear RJ is trying new stuff on his corner 3.  
81_Great_Dane : 7/5/2019 10:41 pm : link
When you do that, you take a step back to take a two steps forward. I'm good with that.
Trier's shooting percentages were excellent last season.  
bceagle05 : 7/5/2019 10:43 pm : link
Just needs to work on the tunnel vision a bit.
Well, we're not seeing what we hoped to see from RJ  
81_Great_Dane : 7/5/2019 10:47 pm : link
but we're seeing a lot from some of the other key guys.
Barrett isn’t super explosive  
Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 7/5/2019 10:48 pm : link
But he’s silky smooth, has good size, and he can get up. I just love his footwork and touch near the rim, he’s just so advanced in the way he scores near the rim. But that outside shot needs to improve.

Blake Griffin is a comp I see for Zion often, and I’ve made it before too. But the way Zion can explosively drive to the rim from the perimeter is something Blake could never dream of. He’s gonna be so fun to watch, just praying that 285 lb frame for a 19 year old can last.

That's fine, always start w/ the 'easier' shot / play

But they really should start from scratch (really every rook if not all players). FTs & Js in the paint. Then move out further and further. Not to say you never practice distance, but start w/ easy ones and nail down the form. It's not easy, but it's simple & repetitive to work on. The 'right way' if you will

Agreed on both

Barrett is in the NBA because of NBA skills w/ an NBA physique at 19. He's not an uber athlete, but he is plenty athletic for this level, and can ball with the best of them with his skill set

Seems like RJ is just lo key right now. As they said, there's a slew of year 2 guys taking the reigns, which is actually good in terms of just letting him acclimate vs forcing him to produce or play a certain way. He has the game for this too, IMO doesn't have to be the scorer but still provide solid value (Esp if he focus on his D). Still work to be done no doubt...
Trier's shot, there it is again  
ChaChing : 7/5/2019 10:57 pm : link
Could be wrong but it looks much smoother & easier than last yr
Zion done for the night.

This promises to be hilarious, as the ESPN team spends the next hour talking about a guy who is not playing and won't be playing tonight.

If it quiets Doris Burke for 2 minutes, it’s worth it. She must be related to Tony Romo.
Knicks getting crushed the last few minutes -  
Del Shofner : 7/5/2019 11:05 pm : link
Knicks not playing team ball at all, but I guess that's summer league.
knicks look lazy  
TJ : 7/5/2019 11:06 pm : link
are these 2nd year guys getting the idea they can cruise in summer league?
Ugly 2nd half so far  
ChaChing : 7/5/2019 11:06 pm : link
RJ showing a bit of his bad side, ball dom, blinders on. Tho he hasn't gotten too many calls on those physical drives

Almost everyone we complimented ran out of gas or went cold at once
