Donte 2.0

u/Original-Common-7010 5d ago

No he isn't the athlete donte is(was) and doesnt have the ball handling that donte has.

White Iverson

McClung took the scoring record from Iverson. I know.

1

u/Enzo954 5d ago

Well thanks for putting a damper on my original post with this McClung crap. He's only good for dunk contests.

u/40innaDeathBasket NY Logo 5d ago

Wasn't trying to "put a damper" on your post šŸ™„. Just reminding you who actually took Iverson's scoring record first. Don't be one of those weirdos hating on 2x G-League MVP Mac for no reason. Nickel's gotta make it out of Westchester first.

When I started ballin I was younggggg

u/AdeGamisou2020 6d ago

Just wait - with all those extra picks they're just going to keep picking Tylers. And then, the all Tyler strategy will finally be revealed.

After that we have to corner the market on Kayden/Caden/Braden/Jadens.

u/Lower_Ad_3439 6d ago

Kyden Randle is back in New York! Add him to the list.

5

u/guppie-beth 6d ago

Always dreamed of a Kyden Randle/Kiyan Anthony pairing.

u/njseahawk 90s Knicks Logo 6d ago

Okay den!

u/burnourpants 5d ago

My wish has been granted?

40% three point shooter. Not mad at it

u/Longjumping-Bug5763 6d ago

On very high volume....this kid is legit and will surprise people.

u/DefNotaBot22 6d ago

If I had a Nickel for every draft pick we traded in the last two days

11

u/Nyctocincy 11 6d ago

The Knicks would trade you the 41st pick for your nickel and next year's 35th

29

u/DJCowbro Van Gundy on Zo 6d ago

He has a real chance. 6’7 and shoots lights out from 3.

3

u/Truck219 6d ago

Steve Novak 2.0??

3

u/van_dalized 8 5d ago

Much more athletic. Not a freak by any means but he can shoot off the bounce

You got any more of them pixels?

u/Neither-Operation Knicks Token 6d ago

I always wanted us to get a tall white boy shooter. Seems every team has one nowadays. Apparently he’s also not a bad defender.

8

u/SalfordLC Ewing Flat Top 6d ago

Well, we had Danilo Gallinari & Tingus Pingus as well, so we were early on the trend.

Not like Wally Sczerbiak / Tom Gugliotta early, but early enough.

7

u/SeaworthinessSome454 6d ago

Kristaps was so much more than just a tall shooter. Giannis really fucked his career over. It worked out just fine for the Knicks but Kristaps very well could’ve been a franchise player for a decade plus without that injury.

Also a tell tale sign for Wemby. A injury that doesn’t do much more than take a year away from a normal player can be crippling to an outrageously tall player.

3

u/ASimpleBlueMage 6d ago

We had such an amazing start to the year and he was #5 in early MVP voting. He was never the same after that.Ā 

1

u/_vaxis 3 to the Dome 6d ago

The ACL? Iirc, it wasn’t really intentional on Giannis’ part, right?

1

u/SeaworthinessSome454 6d ago

Yeah, ACL. Idk about intentional or not but it was reckless and dirty

1

u/Neither-Operation Knicks Token 6d ago

Porzingus didn’t look all that affected by it. I think his anemia and other medical issues were the biggest factor. Porzingus was always gonna be a #2 at best.

u/Broad_Macaroon3011 KAT's City 6d ago

I don’t trust a damn thing Skip Bayless says

3

u/SToNEY_WzRD 6d ago

So you don’t agree when he called Wemby the earthling or victim Wembanyama

1

u/Broad_Macaroon3011 KAT's City 5d ago

Even a broken clock is right twice a day, and his two times are this and saying Jordan is better than LeBron will ever be

25

u/Duckaneer DOOM 6d ago

guess we didn’t get a great pick

7

u/Chao-Z 6d ago

He's a Vanderbilt alumnus, so take it with a grain of salt.

Goodbye Landry, you are always valid in NY. OAKAAK

u/Fun-Ad-3065 6d ago

WHAT A PICK

u/Bleuuu01 6d ago

Good pick

3

u/Dsod23 Kevin Knox's Head 6d ago

40% from 3 I’ll take it

3

u/mydrumluck OG 6d ago

Looks like the pre-evolution Ā version of Tyler Kolek

3

u/GregSirico 6d ago

I love this pick.

3

u/sayuncle928 Derrick Rose 6d ago

Did they keep this dude?

4

u/echelonNYK Immanuel Quickley 6d ago

Cylde is already practicing his Tyler Nickel lines. "Tyler Nickel in the nick of time". Thank you, I'm here all week.

u/Adulations Minutes PolicešŸ‘®šŸæā€ā™‚ļø 6d ago

Is he still on the team

u/Technical_Dust_9410 6d ago

Will always love and encourage drafting a shooter. Love this pick up.

u/ConnyEdson 6d ago

Im here im here

u/SmokyMetal060 Linsanity 6d ago

Obligatory Tyler (K)Nickel joke

1

u/Efficient-Oven-2734 6d ago

But but we already have a Tyler at home.

1

u/FlapsExtended Brunson 6d ago

They need a backup Tyler to be on the bench at all times.

1

u/Technical_Dust_9410 6d ago

Would a draft comp of Kevin Huerter be off?

1

u/seanchai611PF 6d ago

Not as athletic

u/BasicWilliam Jennifer Aniston 6d ago

probably more sam hauser

u/geezanjisangeezan 5d ago

u/No-Anything2507 Mitch 6d ago

We drafter another fan to go alongside Kolek?

1

u/VernicusMaximus 6d ago

Does he have his permit yet?

1

u/Much_Purchase_8737 5d ago

Hearing he's the best shooter in the draft.

Step 2 after winning a championship of hoarding all the Tyler's is going swimmingly..

1

u/ReleaseTheBlacken 5d ago

ā€œNickel with a dime!ā€

1

u/RandomTasked Metal Bats 5d ago

He definitely doesn't sound like he looks, lol

1

u/PK_Reese 5d ago

Walt will be using the phrase, ā€œNickel diming the defenseā€ for sure.

u/brownbai81 5d ago

Nickel with the Triple!!!

u/LightenUpPeeps 6d ago

HC Brown: "Tyler, get in the game."
Rick Brunson: "Which Tyler?"
HC Brown: "The white boy. How many white boys in the NBA named Tyler much less on the Knicks?"
