2024 Jazzfanz Annual Current draft

I'm curious to see how Randle does with this new Knicks team. Wonder if he can be effective if he isn't allowed to cook.

Why wouldnt he be allowed to cook? He's still the 2nd best shot creator on the team.

Maybe he will. Brunson obviously takes up a lot of that oxygen and it seemed like the offense worked when the ball kinda pings around off of Jalen. If there is ball stopper in that chain it may not work as well.

That would be interesting but the media (could be FO also, who knows) seems to be very eager in shipping him out instead, to return some of the capital they gave up to get Bridges.

Doubt they move him but if they did the return might be quite a bit worse than the player Randle is. He may be able to adapt a bit. Likely going to play some small ball 5 this year since they have some depth issues there. I'm interested to see how it all works in NY.

That type of offense load can't be sustainable over the course of a season....unless you're Luka/Harden I guess. I don't think having Brunson do everything is great even in a smaller playoff setting either. Randle is going to be a great innings eater for them during the season....question is how he'll fair in the playoffs. He's a better offensive engine than Bridges.

That's probably true but I just think guys like OG has always wanted more touches (not that he deserves them) and now Bridges has been a #1 scorer is he cool going back to 15 ppg 3 and D guy. I could see some frustration building if it isn't working early. I'm just interested to see what happens here that's all.

Btw I dont know if this is just commonly known fact, but that dude has the weirdest 3P% anomaly in 2020-21. Increased volume by 50% and shot 41% vs 28% compared to the previous year, and then held the same volume and reverted back to 30% the year after.

And that 41% came on 389 total attempts over 71 games, so not a small volume by any means.

Empty arenas benefitted a few guys.

Indubitably. Preferably before the onset of symptoms of full inebriation such that one forgets his liaisons, unless one is imbibing specifically to induce such consignment of awareness of such liaisons to oblivion of a purposeful nature, to wit, she repugnant AF.

Possibly, but OG probably knew the deal when he got paid $200 M. OG and Mikal are ideally like 15-18% usage guys.....I think OG is gonna be fine, it remains to be seen if Bridges has gone a direction and won't look back. Would not surprise me if Bridges wants to keep his touches and Randle becomes trade fodder. I actually think NYK has a good pecking order if they play things correctly (Randle will do a lot better in the playoffs with Brunson as the primary initiator)....but egos could get into the way. The Knicks will be good....methinks they may be drinking their own koolaide too much and it won't go as swimmingly as they think.

Ihart walking is going to hurt quite a bit.
 
Knicks are perfectly designed to beat the Celtics, but I think they may struggle against other top tier teams.
