Great article, for an ask Macri or a tidbit to include in the next newsletter. With all the noise surrounding the Knicks rotation. Who do you believe the Knicks 9 or 10 man rotation should be?Who are you starting and who's coming off the bench for you? (Including Rose)
Great piece as always. The interesting thing about this growing who is the franchise guy discussion of Julius vs. RJ is that it is really about upside. Julius really had nowhere to go but down from last year and our hope was that he would just stay even and simply be able to maintain as the Knicks added more talent. We now know what this guy is now and it seems apparent to everyone but Julius himself that he will never be a true #1. RJ on the other hand is showing steady if not remarkable development in his game. He can be frustrating, but you can easily see his chart continuing up and to the right for years to come. I see him as a really strong #2 at best but probably not a #1. However, his skill set is more diverse. He is the much more dynamic and complimentary of the two candidates and offers the Knicks brass more flexibility in what kinds of players they pursue forward. I don't see the Knicks making any major moves pre-deadline but they have to be thinking about rearchitecting the Knicks forward more around RJ and less around Ju. Better to build back Ju's value (even if it takes another full season) then to sell low.
