My point with the Porzingis comparison is that Knicks coach Hornacek has more faith in his 2nd year player than Casey EVER has in JV even after his performance in the playoffs last season. There is absolutely NO REASON why JV can't in his 4th year average at least 30 mins per game shooting at least 10-15 shots. Absolutely NONE other than Casey is stupid and refuses to run any plays for him to score easy points.
And I disagree that Casey is a good coach when he consistently gets out coached by his counterpart. And no good coach wouldn't utilize JV who's a high percentage shooter who is also a high percentage FT shooter. It should be a no brainer to just dump the ball into him and let JV either score or get fouled and get easy points through him rather than let Demar and Lowry make bad shot after bad shot and lose winnable games for us.
People can talk about JV being 'too slow' all they want, but its pretty damn clear that playing 'small ball' isn't working and often isn't improving our defense so why wouldn't you play JV and run plays for him for easy points and on defense just let him simply plug up the paint and be a big body that's hard to push around? A good coach should be able to utilize his player's strengths and also make the other team adjust to him as someone else pointed out. Casey doesn't neither which is why we will never beat the best teams in the league consistently.
I mean really there's something seriously wrong when your coach states publicly that he'll 'ride or die' with Demar and Lowry rather than look to the rest of his team to pick up the slack when our 'stars' are sucking the big one. That is just one DUMB AND STUBBORN coach who refuses to adjust and adapt as the game is going on and things change.
If you feel that strongly then surely you have some suggestions on coaches to replace him and reasons why they would be a better coach and a better fit for this team, right? I'd love to hear of these suggestions and reasons personally.
