Tonight young PG performance ?.
Sexton: 20 pts, 1 rb, 3 ast, 1 stl, and 1 turnover in 39 minute
DSJr.: 10 pts, 2 rb, 4 ast, 3 stl, 2 blk, and 1 turnover in 31 minute
Allen: 25 pts, 3 rb, 6 ast, 1 stl, and 1 turnover in 32 minute
I have to admit .. we Knick fans has been sleeping on Kadeem Allen play-maker passing-skills plus quick-step slash to the basket for 2 pts in the last 5 games. The more games Allen play the familiar he gets to complimenting his teammates skills. I did get a little tight at Allen when he took that 3 ball shot when we were down by 4 pts at crunch time.
But Allen is THAT 3rd guard in a 3 guard-offense u want on the court !!!
Kadeem plays with his head up .. I like what I've seen, a lot from him in the 5 games.
Apparently in Boston the backcourt was too jammed, and then when he hooked on with us he was a bit of a fatso by NBA standards but has since dropped like 20 pounds, and has been looking more crafty & efficient at the point than any one else we had this season.
Kadeem Allen & MitchRob has been our best two consistent well performing players since DeAndre Jordan arrived.
The Knicks better resign the 30 yr old DeAndre Jordan in the off-season!
Because .. I'm no NBA coach, but I could go 6 or 7 games in a first round playoff series having Kanter and DJ in the front-court rotation.
Some fans may get upset bout what i have to say bout our 19 yr old rookie Knox .. whom Fizdale been giving 30 plus minute of playing-time the past two months .. In the months of Dec. to Feb., Mario should have been receiving the majority of SF rotation minute being on a one year contract.
Knox should have been earning his playing time coming off the bench for 20 or more minute per game .. Why?
Does anyone have worst footwork than Knox on the team?
The guy travels twice a game always diving to catch the ball out of bounds, his rebounding is suspect too, he shows a total lack of effort out there.
Allen has outplayed all the guards the 1 + 2 spot, thank god for MitchRob one of the only bright spots out there from the young guys.
Who has been coaching our winning G.League Westchester team? Great Job !!!
