that’s some real master vs apprentice shit

So some of what Quickley would do as a starter would just replace what Grimes would do without a gain in efficiency.

IMO, you generally don’t need 4 scorers on the court, especially since spacing is our problem and Grimes already creates space with his quick release.

I agree with your principles but I don’t think the final picture would look like this. You see it as swapping usage from one iso guy to another. I see it as the solution to an iso-heavy offense.

The best Knicks offense of my lifetime involved two PGs: Ray Felton and either Pablo Prigioni or Jason Kidd. I’m imagining that with Brunson and IQ, while Randle and RJ play poor man’s Melo and JR.

What I love about adding IQ to the starters is the fact that between him, Brunson, Randle, and RJ, everyone on the floor can handle the ball. I don’t see it as four scorers, as see it as a potentially beautiful motion offense. I imagine Brunson getting trapped and then IQ running a two-man game with Randle or RJ on the other side of the floor and that just being unstoppable with a man adavantage. Then I imagine Brunson never getting trapped because the alternative is so deadly.

There’s so much potential.

I will say re RJ, his on-off numbers this season are absolutely stellar. Even a skeptic like me has to take notice.

Why wouldn’t you just name a child Jewels so that you could call them Jewels? Seems like the easier, more straightforward path, eh?

I will die before I admit Dillon Brooks is a good offensive player

Well, if you asked LeBron or Steph, I think they’d say he’s an extremely offensive player
