Yeah in 3 years its a perrennial playoff team if they all stay in the curve. Barrett already looks like he strengthened a lot of his weaknesses. What I like most is Quickley knows how to set up Knox who cant create offense by himself but is really good at getting into scoring position. I dont see Toppin standing out yet but it will come. What I like about Quickley is the vision. You can actually tell right away when guys are players. You can see it in basketball. He has great vision, good pass and terrific shooting. Cant really tell on d but hes gotten a high steal rate in preseason. Well see. But he is athletic. Is shortish but doesnt play like a short point guard.
Call me nuts but it sure is nice to know we finally have a bonafide NBA coach in Thibideau. You can tell already the man has a clue and in pre-season that defense is actually a priority.
When was the last time we could ever say that? Ummmm....can you say Jeff Van Gundy? That's 20 friggen years ago. Well not coincidently that was the last time the Knicks were relevant. Heck Thibideau has even made Julius Randle look unselfish, playing defense and looks really good.
I love the fact Thibideau is playing our 5 kids together as a unit also. I said it before and I'll say it again, I'm actually getting a bit pumped up for this team we got. We actually have built this team thru the draft for the most part which is the way Rangers have as well and that is why we are all so pumped up for them. Yeah you need to bring in a key FA or two but that's down the road. Let's see how we do this year led by the kids and I'd be shocked if a bigtime FA wouldn't want to come on board after this season.
First things first tho...let's be a pain in the ass to play against this year let the kids develop and everything will work itself out.
