I mean, Miles Bridges is clearly an NBA pro, but I think Mikal Bridges is noticeably better than him. It’s not like Mikal Bridges isn’t good on offense, too, ya know? A good shooter who can play great defense? Sign me up.

That said, I’d probably pick Porter over Mikal Bridges. Just too much tantalizing talent there.

Both Bridges look like damn good pro prospects at this moment, with Mikal being more defense and Miles being more buckets. Miles Bridges is like a Troy Williams type that can create his own offense in a pinch. I think that type of player is really useful, especially if you’re running a motion offense. He has this boxy athleticism that I don’t particularly like, but I have little doubt that Miles Bridges can be a successful professional. Mikal Bridges screams Otto Porter Jr, and I’d love to have a guy like that. The problem with both Bridges, though, is height. We need the 6’11” Michael Porter Jr to play power forward next to Kristaps Porzingis, not a 6’6” small forward.

We’ll remember this great win when the Knicks are picking 11th instead of 9th or 8th and getting the wrong Bridges
Woo hoo ! ?

@35

Yeah I think he might be the most underrated lotto prospect. He has pretty much all the tools to be an excellent NBA shooting guard

I had Michigan going to the finals, so, well, that crazy shit just saved my bracket. 🙂

Unikornet is in the practice hall of fame.

Willy only looked better than Kornet because this game wasn’t played on the only stage that matters—the practice floor.

Yeah, it was encouraging how effective Frank was playing with Burke as PG alongside him, he had some good moments as a secondary handler, shot well, played good defense and limited turnovers.

The lineup that started the run for the win should definitely be getting more minutes progressively. Burke, Ntilikina, Williams and Hicks all performed well. I’m fine with some wins here and there if they all play well and we see less and less of Beasley, Lance or Kanter.

Willy did look pretty good in garbage time, a lot better than the guy we’re now giving minutes (Kornet).

Clyde sounding very confused about why it was Frank that got pulled for Jack. Me too, buddy. Me too.

Hornacek has no idea what he’s doing. He overthinks matchups and doesn’t make much sense other than that. I don’t blame him for wanting to give Jack some minutes. He’s been a good soldier while riding the pine even though he has no guarantees for next year. But he should have given Frank more minutes.

Willy did not look like the kind of guy we should have given up on so fast tonight.

Man, Zhaire Smith is making a fucking case and a half for himself.
