Lets keep track of our lottery pick and see if he improves his mid-season numbers of 5.2 pts and 3.2 dimes in the remaining 23 games. He's been given ample opportunity to display his talent playing 20 mpg in 56 games in our second unit but so far has had a lackluster rookie season, He should be getting more playing time after the break and maybe a different role as a SG along side Mudiay and his minutes should go up as well for the remainder of the season.
One interesting development that I think is significant is the report that Nits will return to France for the summer to develop his game and will not participate in the Vegas Summer League. htr10 said he thought there was something going on between Hornacek or the Knicks front office and him not staying in the US to improve his game in his rookie season when he surely needs it may be an indication of some problem between him and the Knicks. Maybe he's pissed they brought in 2 guys to compete with him for the PG position, or he isn't impressed with the Knicks coaching staff. But I do know that he can improve faster in the US than he can in France with more opportunity to play with NBA players here in the US over the summer. The Knicks are now forced to scramble and may send over a developmental coach to France to oversee his development in the summer when they would obviously prefer him staying in Westchester and working out at the Westchester facility.
