[NBA_NewYork] Thibs: “Precious was phenomenal. We’re finding out a lot about him…We saw him play mostly center in Toronto; he’s showing us he can handle 2 positions. He’s skilled; he can put the ball on the floor, make a play…When he plays with high intensity he covers a lot of ground.”

Sign this man. Can’t pay Mitch and I hart.
He’s been a pleasant surprise for sure. Much more to his game than it originally appeared.
Thibs gets the most out of bigs it’s crazy. Taj, Nerlens Noel & Norvel Pelle in 2021 alone held it down.
Have to admit, first couple of games after the trade Precious looked like dead weight. Now it looks like he has a sneaky high ceiling.
That low paced, fast break spin move last night was just something else.
It’s like if Julius had patience!
I’m definitely a Thibs fan but this goes down to our solid coaching staff and their ability to unlock players, especially bigs, who are willing to take the next step.
I hope he stays in the rotation when Mitch comes back
– Randle Hartenstein
– Precious Mitch
I’m loving him, but at the same time I’m worried all of this will lead to him doing more than he should be on offense. Thibs giving him the “play hard on D and I don’t care what you do on O” mandate would spell disaster.
