Don´t forget to subscribe and hit that like button y´all! Let´s get Alex and Gavin what they deserve for their dedication to our beloved Knicks!
McBride needs to be cut, his defense doesn't overcome his lack of shooting and can't run a team
Mc bride haven't had minute for him to reach his full potentially
Jrandle need more energy to perform in the playoffs, the next step he needs to make him great I feel brunson will rub off on the whole team
Canât believe Randle is still on this team, just bench him or cut him already.
I think the answer is a definite yes for both.
For Brunson, they key is to keep his 3pt shooting momentum (he was way above his historical averages and i pray these hold up this season) – i know its not really an improvement over last season, but it's a career improvement. And, I think one aspect he can really excel in would be being a better playmaker. He is great at controlling pace and making correct reads but his court vision and ability to make fast break passes can improve.
For Randle, it's all about post-season – i want him to keep making 3s in the post season as he makes them in the regular season and i want him to drive more to the hoop. He settles too much form the outside jumper. Also, he can improve as a defender. Thibs lets him slide on defense too much and Randle isn't consistent. Just being consistently focused on defense can make him in a slight net positive defender vs. being a slight net negative now.
Great point, Alex, about Duce becoming an important player for us if we make a big trade! I think that when Duce gets enough playing time, he will become a better 3pt shooter. I doubt he will become a 40% 3pt shooter like Brunson, but like you said mid-30s is totally doable and it makes him a great player – defender, decent passer, and not a negative on offense.
Randle needs to work on his selfish attitude. Pass the damn ball and get excited when someone else shoots besides himself.
