Ntilikina hasn't played with consistency on the offensive end during his first three years in the league, but he's routinely showed that he can defend the perimeter at a high level. That's certainly a valuable trait for a young player. It will be interesting to see how Rose proceeds with Ntilikina. The 22-year-old has been shopped in potential trades at different times in his Knicks tenure.
I hate to “Knitpick”🤣 after a win but Frank 1-6 from three damn! At what point do you start to drive to the bucket like RJ did because the Rox have no rim protection. Frank plays adequate defense(Russ just missed that last shot) but Frank was drafted waayyyy to high to be touting his defense. 3 years into Franks NBA career and he still can’t shoot and really has no clue on the offensive end the floor. Hopefully Rose can redo our backcourt in the off-season. Draft the best PG available in the lottery and maybe get free agent help. Package Peyton, Trier, Dot, Bullock, and Knits together and see if you can get a plug nickel for the lot.Quote:

If Rose is smart he will let the hype continue and come draft night make a deal for whatever you get for him.
The new Knick president may know something about that simple sayings that goes like 'move the needle'!! 'Can he make you win? ' Does he make those around him Better? , etc. These are a few questions you ask about your #3 pick and the answers are Damning!!
Breakup the knicks
The only consistency the Knicks had as a team the past few seasons were being LOSERS, and receiving top-10 picks in the draft.Quote:

In 3 season as a Knicks .. Frank never receive consistent minutes, lineup, or a head-coach.
The Knicks having 4 PG and 5 SG on their roster each of the past 3 seasons did not help Frank or Dotson playing-time growth.
Frank & Trier has showed to be a better Finsher than starter in their rookie season .. Dotson & RJ are the opposite.
RJ & Randle being a ball-hog NUT are something u dont give praise bout, especially at crunch-time. The two players (RJ & Randle) are 1 for 20 driving to the lane in crunch-time games .. Plus RJ & Randle are 50-50 at hitting two FT when they go to the foul in crunch-time.Quote:

Mills/Perry/Fiz/Miller .. Giving Randle-Handle & rookie RJ Barrett the green-light to be 1st & 2nd scoring options has made 4 PG (Kadeem/DSJ/Frank/Payton) look inconsistent throughout the season from Randle & RJ inconsistent offense, and lack of defense.

The Knicks 42 losses has a lot to do with RJ & Randle-Handle's 4th quarter Iso hero-ball and poor defensive-effort.
The first game this season, coach Miller only used a 4 guard rotation (Payton/RJ/Frank/Ellington) in a game.
Miller has been playing 5 or more guards in his game rotation.
Last night the tandem guards of Frank & Ellington did a great job together in the 2nd half at holding-off one of the league top tandem scorers Harden & Westbrook who's great at coming from behind to take the lead for the win. Give Frank his PROPS !!!

Our backcourt “held” Harden to and Westbrook to 35 and 24 respectively so “held off” is exactly right because both got off. I can’t praise the 7th overall pick in the lottery(Frank) for defense. You don’t pick a player that high to play on one end of the floor like Frank. We just have to admit Frank is a a major bust at this point esp. when you factor in Donavan Mitchell was on the board.
Look like you the only person that saw the problems with RJ IZO on that drive. As a coach what should Miller have done before the drive? Yes, called timeout and put RJ butt on the far end of the bench. That is why the PG is in the game to run a PLAY not to IZO!! None of his supporter see a problem... not a one. That is a sad thing because it a team sport not an IZO sport.Quote:

Remember they have stuck their neck out so far with Mills/Perry that they have to finish it or look stupid. They can't see being wrong about RJ. In the Memphis game thread there was an admission that there was a drop of talent after Ja was drafted. In one breath you can admit the truth but a day later you back on that hype train for RJ.
Have you notice that NO ONE... repeat...NO ONE of his supporter ever says anything about him playing defense. It only about offense and when it get hot on them they will point to 'Well you know he only 19', poor baby!!!
Maybe one day they will see that the right thing to do was to trade back. I have to admit that it been said that no one call the Knicks about the #3 pick. It still doesn't keep FO from getting on the phone with some other team especially ATL. Would it be better to have 3 picks of this group(Hayes, Paschall, MFiondu Kal, Walker, PJ and White)? Hayes, Paschall and PJ would have been my choices. They would have covered the need of a PF.
