Hope he can contribute
Great
Actually a nice development project. Should get big g league minutes
Why only a 1 year deal?
Never been this hype about a 2nd rounder! Lol.
So final roster is
Brunson
KAT
OG
Bridges
Hart
Robinson
McBride
Yabusele
Clarkson
Hukporti
Shamet
Kolek
Dadiet
Diawara
Kool Mo D, I have high hopes for thee
I doubt he makes an impact year one but good to have him developing for a year, resign him to a longer 2 year deal next summer when hopefully the Knicks have some space to operate around the margins more.
Figured he’d get the final spot.No other undrafted player really did much besides Najji who looked way too raw and Dink Pate who also didn’t look ready.
Whatever happened to Dink anyway?They announced he was signed after the draft but no news of him being waived or anything.Is he gonna stick around in Westchester?
My delusional take is he can become a dollar-store version of OG Anunoby
The more realistic take is he could be a solid bench wing like Royce O Neal
I like him over dadiet right now. I hope he gets so burn at PF and Huk is the official backup center
That’s great, Mo is a friend of mine and I’m really happy for him. I told him I’d treat him for dinner when he gets his contract. Where should I take him out? Haha
He’s got NBA grade tools; the freakish length and athleticism are there. Among the intangibles, he gives 100 percent and has feel for the game, awareness. Just need his offensive skills to catch up, tho his rebounding and defense look like his calling card at the moment.
Lfgk
Does anyone really think this will matter? He’ll be in Westchester all season long.
