The Knicks continue to make moves adding talent to this roster as they deal with injuries earlier today we reported that Leon Rose made a move to sign dcoin Jeff to a 10-day contract we thought we were done with that there however that’s not the case Leon Rose made another move he

Signed the power forward SL Center to a 10-day contract we’re going to break down exactly who he signed why he signed this player and what this means for the New York Knicks as we try to get to the post season all of this and so much more today if you’re not already subscribed

Officially added dquan Jeff to a 10-day contract we already know about that move we understand why they did that for me that move was more about Julius Randall and the fact that he was not going to be available when everybody thought he was going to be available but this next move

For me likely has more to do with Mitchell Robinson and that has to do with this player’s position power forward SL Center let’s take a look at the report and see exactly who the New York Knicks recently signed according to nba.com the New York Knicks have announced today on March

14th that they are signing power/ Center mamade decate to a 10-day contract now I could stop there but why do that there’s so much more information let’s talk about this kid a little bit explain to you where he’s been what he’s done and what he can give the New York Knicks if

He gets any type of playing time according to nba.com decate 27 years old 69 228b returns to New York after spending time with Westchester earlier this season where he averaged 13.5 points on 47% shooting 7.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists over 30.3 minutes in six games three starts again for the Westchester

Knicks this is a little bit more background on the New York Knicks latest signing I’m not going to go through all of these points but if you like you can pause the video right here and read through it and then continue however I want to mention one Point here that I

Think is very important the New York Knick signed this kid in 2019 2020 for ACC he was all defense that same year he was all acc’s second team as well too he averaged 13.7 points and 6.8 rebounds over 32.8 minutes and 30 games all starts but this next point is going to

Explain why if he sees any time under Tom thibo he could become a Tom thibo favorite I want to caution here these are g-league numbers but what he did in the G League explains the type of player that he is he recorded a season High 25 points on

85.7% shooting 11 rebounds four blocks and two steals over 28.4 minutes against the Rio Grand Valley vipers on February 14th in 2024 I understand it’s g-league numbers and sometimes g-league numbers don’t matter but here’s the thing that does matter it’s the game that I look at what

Does when he’s on the floor he rebounds he gets a lot of blocks he gets a lot of put back dunks because clearly given his field goal percentage he’s near the rim a lot of the time and during that game where he went off he showcased his skill

Set and what he can do and that’s why in my opinion if he finds time under Tom thibo thibos will love him because of his size because of his athleticism but also he likes to rebound he likes to block shots he likes to be in the paint

Area and if he can get a putb dunk he’s going to go for it he can get a layup he’s going to go for it but if he can also grab the rebound and get a second chance opportunity for the Knicks he’s going to do that too and that right

There is exactly what Tom thibo wants and loves from his big man he wants you to go out there play with hustle if you see any ball down low and you’re in the paint you have to jump for it you have to get it and you have to give the New

York Knicks another opportunity that’s at the very least what you have to do if you’re out there and I think this kid could do it because every everybody in that rotation for the New York Knicks has shown me next man up mentality is real if you buy into Tom thibo what he’s

Doing and what he’s preaching you’re likely going to get minutes and who knows you could be impactful as well too this kid has all the right tools has the skill set and even has the size he could be a perfect Tom thibo player if he’s given the minutes I just don’t think

That’s going to happen given all the players the Knicks have right now and the fact that they’re going to get healthy but it says something the New York Knicks went out and signed this kid he’s a power forward SL Center so it gives you help for Julius Randall and to

An extent it gives you help for Mitchell Robinson those are your two guys that are out right now they might be out for the next few weeks because neither of those two have taken contact yet they have not taken full contact and they have not been cleared for full contact

Yet Mitchell Robinson is running he’s jumping he’s shooting Julius Randle is basically doing everything you can do besides taking full contact I believe the quote from Tom thibo was that Julius Randle is currently doing controlled contact which essentially means he knows what’s going to happen before it happens

Because he knows what’s going to happen he hesitates a little bit when he knows contact is going to be coming to that shoulder and that’s something he has to shake off you have to gain confidence and enough strength in that shoulder to know if you take a hit you’re going to

Be okay if he doesn’t have the confidence right now which is clear he doesn’t because if he did he would try to go out there and try to take that contact the fact that the medical staff doesn’t even want to clear him to do that means they don’t even have faith in

Randall at this point in time to take the contact and not have an issue because if they had even a little bit of Faith they might have progressed them along just a little bit but that doesn’t seem to be the case because it seems like he’s doing the same type of drills

He has been doing for the last few weeks the controlled contact portion is the only Nuance the entire thing and when you’re breaking down and understand exactly what it is it’s not really contact you know what’s coming you’re prepared for it the thing about basketball is you have to prepare for

The unexpected that’s why you train your body like that because you want to make sure you can take any type of contact get back up and be available for your team I know that’s what Julius Randall wants to be but if he comes back and uses that shoulder improperly maybe he

Tries to create space with that shoulder as he often does hits that shoulder incorrectly and does more damage to it he could be out for a longer period of time or if he was putting off that surgery till the offseason he might have to rush it forward a little bit because

He did some harm to that shoulder that’s the risk of coming back with that type of dislocated shoulder and I think Randall knows that the medical staff knows that his Camp knows that it’s all about longevity for Randall but he also wants to come back and make an impact

But if he doesn’t want to get surgery regardless and he’s determined to come back the only way that should happen is if he can take contact to that shoulder without grimacing in pain and if he can play through it and play on if he can’t he shouldn’t come back because let’s

Face it in the NBA whether players are going to tell you or not some players are going to Target that shoulder other players are going to say it was an accident either way it’s going to get hit a lot more than necessary and if that happens I don’t know if Randle can

Take it I don’t know if he can handle it he’s a strong guy of course he can go through any type of pain but how consistently can he go through that pain without doing more damage to the shoulder that’s the thing maybe he can deal with the pain but how long can he

Deal with those type of hits without doing more damage it’s all about his career his longevity you don’t want him to have to sacrifice his career just for one single season that doesn’t make sense it’s going to be interesting to see what happens with Julius Randall and

The New York Knicks moving forward if I was a betting man I would put all of my money in the basket of Julius Randle comes back at least during the regular season maybe it’s the final few games but I do see Randall coming back this season especially during the postseason

He’s going to have an impact there as well too when you know you’re going to be out Julius Randle Mitchell Robinson for an extended period of time you’re going to need more size you’re going to need more depth and you’re going to still try to float along win as many

Games as possible until those guys return that’s why the New York Knicks did 10day contracts they didn’t sign these guys for the rest of the season they signed them to 10day contracts just enough time to give Julius Randall Mitchell Robinson Isaiah hartenstein and anybody else who needs a little bit more

Time of recovery to get that added time so that way they can come back fully healthy 100% And that way it’s it’s a benefit to the Knicks team not a hindrance if they come back not healthy and they only play a few games and then they go out again with significant pain

Significant injury and they miss more time is that going to help the Knicks or hurt them that’s an easy answer it’s going to hurt the Knicks that’s why making sure they’re 100% with no issues no obstacles is the way to go if signing these two players is going to help the

Nicks do that I’m okay with that for me it’s another clever move by Leon roseen the New York Nick amid all of these injuries some front officers could Panic they could fold they could make rash decisions not Leon not this Nicks front office they make the right decisions

They make decisions very calmly very patiently they wait they look around and they try to understand their situation and the situation going on around the league and once they have all that information that’s when they make a decision I’ve been waiting for a front

Office to do this since I was a Nick fan and I finally can say Leon Rose and this Nicks front office has achieved that for me they’ve also given me the best Knicks team I’ve ever seen in my life for all of that Thank You Leon thank you

Worldwide West thank you Gerson Rosas and thank you the entire Nicks Organization for coming together and making the decisions that we need to make whether they’re very big decisions or very small decisions like these signings here they all matter at the end of the day they all signify something

That the New York Knicks are trying to do these moves are no different but what about you guys what do you think about the New York Nick signing mamadi dakati and dcoin Jeff both to 10day contracts let me know in the comments Below guys because honestly I would love to hear

From you but that’s going to do it for this episode I hope you enjoyed it and if you did go ahead and smash that like button leave a comment below and of course guys please subscribe to the channel until next time Nick fans peace
