					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Bullock is a career 38% 3pt shooter on over 1100 attempts, Burks is a career 37% 3pt shooter in over 1200 attempts. They are both far superior 3pt shooters than Frank and in Burks case he can also handle the ball a bit and score at the basket. Bullock is arguably just as good a defender as Frank.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

yeah but um, reggie burks don&#039;t got no mixtape, or 183 thousand twitter followers...so ah, yeah, there&#039;s that...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Most likely both Burks and Bullock will be better 3pt shooters than Frank moving forward, but neither will probably be here long term so in this nothing of a season it is better asset management to see if Frank&#039;s improvement is real than to ride a couple of solidly mediocre vets to a solidly mediocre record.

Also, Quickley should start, right now. No doubt about it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[RJ Barrett 3P% by month:
December: 12.5%
January: 35.1%
February: 47.4%
March: 50%

Looking pretty good - RJ&#039;s stretch of competent 3 point shooting is now significantly longer than the atrocious shooting he showed at the beginning of the season. If he settles at an average-to-above-average percentage for the year, I wouldn&#039;t be surprised at all if he&#039;s legitimately good from deep next year.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Frank is only shooting .6 3-pointers per 36 less than Bullock and 1.1 less than Burks. He is also second on the team in 3-pointers made per 36 just behind Quickley. So saying he doesn&#039;t take enough shots from 3 this season is false. It is a very small sample size and everything could change if he stops hitting his threes but right now Frank is hitting his threes and shooting a decent amount of them. 

It&#039;s not like Bullock or Burks have been that great from three. They have both been very erratic. 

Frank is also our best perimeter defender. So calling him far from a 3&#038;d player is false at least as he is currently playing. If he keeps hitting threes at a rate of better than 40%, his 56% is obviously unsustainable, he is a better 3&#038;d player than either Bullock or Burks. 

Also, IQ needs to start right now. Our starting lineup is so much better with him on the floor. 

Of course, we have Thibs so once everyone is healthy IQ is back to 15 minutes a game, and Frank is glued to the bench. Also if we somehow make the playoffs I&#039;m betting both IQ and Toppin fall out of the rotation completely.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;Man, Moses Moody would fit these Knicks like a glove.&lt;/blockquote&gt;  

i agree with noble that we&#039;re probably not in range for someone like moody but the good news is that there are plenty of pretty decent guys all throughout the first round and it&#039;s deep with SG/SF types.... some of the guys that this board has mentioned (springer, johnson, bouknight) have been climbing as expected.... but there are guys that haven&#039;t that should still be available in the mid first rd....  

josh christopher is one who is still being criminally underrated and he is a lights out scorer.... not as good of a shooter as moody and the shot is a bit funky looking... but he&#039;s got a lot of ability that&#039;s going largely unnoticed for whatever reason... chris duarte ...who coincidentally was profiled by hollinger recently along with cyber&#039;s boy neemias queta.... also rates pretty well by any model or any metric...  if you wanted another chance at a mikal bridges type... this guy is it...  

dosunmo is also one of my favorites and probably would be our best pg prospect we&#039;ve had since charlie ward... he came in with a lot of hype as a freshman and wasn&#039;t really a pg or a great shooter... and he&#039;s worked hard on his game to learn the position and get his shot more consistent... while retaining his ability to get tough buckets at the rim...  sort of rare for a guy to both hurt their stock but stay in school long enough to recover a lot of that hype...  

should be a fun tourney to follow this year... a lot of potential draftees are on really strong teams and within range of both of our picks which hasn&#039;t really happened ever....]]></description>
