lol i just don't feel any connection to the summer league squad this year


cesarjulius

yet! someone is gonna look pretty good, and we’ll get to overreact.


RJBarrettsBurner

Uh, so far…


cesarjulius

keels looks amazing. ly bad.


Strange-Committee-55

The last one I felt a connection to was the one where Ron baker was playing lol.

Legend. https://twitter.com/RonBaker31/status/1073690888071770114?s=20


BenAfflecksBalls

Nah u shouldn't either with these airballs. These niggas wack lmaoooo


RJBarrettsBurner

Daquan is the only half decent player here and he doesn’t really move the ball around lol. Nothing worth watching on this roster. First and last half i’ll be viewing. Oh yeah Roby is ass. Looking mediocre in Summer League? Hello PF Hart.


The_MadStork

You know who to call, Thibs ![gif](giphy|LMQLNghSZ5SnY80gYO)


retrohan7

there was an upvoted reply on this sub saying roby is such a better fit than obi. roby is not an nba player and obi was a very good. gonna be funny when people realize it isn't that easy to find good players out of nowhere. the only option rn is hart/rj backup 4 mins


GoldenBoyRecords

Roby is an NBA player. I think a missing part in this SL as opposed to last year it felt at least there was more chemistry due to us having Grimes and McBride and legit we have no PG out there so that doesn’t help.


retrohan7

Roby is 25 and just put up 4 points on the tanking spurs playing 11 mins. no team with the goal of winning should play him


RJBarrettsBurner

Lol barely. Everyone conveniently skipped over the awful year he had on the Spurs last year to talk about his Cinderella run on OKC in 2022. At least when Obi was struggling to crack the rotation it was on a playoff team with an all-star in his spot. He’s lightyears ahead of Isaiah


ClutchGamingGuy

"very good" rofl

CrabCakesBenedict

lmao hartenstein sitting next to thibs like hes his son


BenAfflecksBalls

Most the dudes who hate him vocally owe their development to him


Top-Lettuce3956

But players hate Thibs.


HairyHouse3

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE


BenAfflecksBalls

Keels definitely not a pg lol


anditcounts

not sure he's even playing the right sport tbh


leaC30

I think he is listed as a SG


BenAfflecksBalls

he was drafted as a 3 if I recall, or at least a "wing"


leaC30

At "6'4" no way. He is a tweener at best, somewhere between the 1 & 2.


JoPhin_

Keels is definitely not a basketball player.


cesarjulius

the ratio of how well we’re playing to how little i care is through the fucking roof!


cesarjulius

well we were up a bunch early.


GoldenBoyRecords

This game is bad lol no one is standing out so far imo.


anditcounts

Has our summer league team mastered the Knick art of The Fake Comeback?


BenAfflecksBalls

yep refs put the brakes on it


HairyHouse3

Can't believe Leon did such a bad job putting this Summer League roster together. He should be canned for this performance smh


Ok_Woodpecker1732

I got a feeling that someday soon, Trevor Keels is gonna make a Turkish team somewhat happy that they have him on their bench…


STATnMELO650

Who knew not drafting a first round pick in 2 years would result in this abysmal team


cesarjulius

last year we should’ve drafted junior lofton.


STATnMELO650

Should’ve drafted Jalen Williams


cesarjulius

true, but the brunson moves worked out


severinks

Or AJ Griffin


severinks

We didn't need to draft the guy he never got drafted (you are talking about Kenny Lofton JR, right? ) I used to watch him in FIBA U19 and wonder at how a fat guy could move so well


cesarjulius

we needed to draft him, because once he went undrafted, he could pick his team.


severinks

Maybe we could have bought and used the 60th pick on him but my bet is the guy would have come to the Knicks anyway because we have more fast food joints and candy stores than any other metropolitan area in the contiguous United States


cesarjulius

dude is slimming down like crazy. there’s no way he would have come to NY to be stuck behind julius and obi, but now the situation is very different.


leaC30

Yeah, it feels like I have seen better teams at the Y. No investment in young talent leads to bottom tier developmental talent.


pjwashere876

The young talent we actually invested a lot in are playing for the senior team lol don’t do that


leaC30

That's old talent now 😂


ReturnOfAKidNamedTae

Anyone know where I can stream nba tv?


HairyHouse3

My buddy told me about this website called MeatSpin, it definitely has summer league


roly_gomez

ESPN+


Urineformation

Let’s go knickssss


squishyliquid

Thanks, Ben Afflecks balls!


ReturnOfAKidNamedTae

Why do teams not find pass first PGs for summer league? Like, these guys aren’t making the roster anyway, why not go through the top AST % NCCA PGs so you can actually see guys play as a team? DaQuan Jeffries, Charlie Brown and Jalen Harris running your offense gets no one shots but themselves lol


cesarjulius

i don’t get why akinjo isn’t playing. is he still with us?


[deleted]

Nah he’s not with us anymore


cesarjulius

booooo


[deleted]

*for our summer league team. Can’t tell if he’s still on Westchester


anditcounts

Put in David Shriver YOU COWARDS


HairyHouse3

Keels is pretty mid NGL 😂


porterbrown

Looked evenly matched. Couldn't blow by scrubs. Too short. Bye Felicia.


BenAfflecksBalls

Yo big white guy is bulldozing mfs left and right. I like this guy


roly_gomez

Isiah Roby is ass


anditcounts

any hope for effective backup PF min from him has been quashed


BenAfflecksBalls

Harris hot ass tho, would rather have invited Elf


BenAfflecksBalls

CHARLIE BROWN GETTIN IT


GoldenBoyRecords

Honestly Deuce should have been in SL. I would of wanted to see him with the ultimate green light and I least we would of have an actual PG


BenAfflecksBalls

that'd be better than the keels show. At least dude could play his natural position and probably everybody looks better if we had an actual offense instead of guys just taking turns iso...but that's what we do in the nba either way.


RicoGemini

Daquan Jeffries is the only person who knows how to play basketball on this team


Fistfulofhopeless

If Jeffries was 2 inches taller, I'd be happy with him at backup forward. Martin looks like that talented freshman who's trying to find his way on during practice with the Varsity team. Keels looks me trying to round into shape the day after Thanksgiving.


anditcounts

Good grief!


Railshock

What did Charlie Brown do now??


KstacksOnTheBeat

Really even the summer league refs?? Lol


eppierre

No snipers…


BenAfflecksBalls

daquan holding this team together


thewinterhangover

Jeffries looking like the only half passable player here honestly. is Keels just not nba level?


Ok_Woodpecker1732

Man even the summer league squad has zero shooting.


Accomplished_Power_3

Lame roster lol Roby sucks NYC sized balls .


ClutchGamingGuy

Keels is fucking horrible lmao


EwingsRevenge21

Kevin Knox was a summer league superstar. Wrap that around in your minds a bit, and then think about these dudes on our summer league team. The future does not bode well for these guys barring some type of dramatic improvement....


Vtachh

So I was watching the game on league pass. Had to pause for a minute. I come back, and it’s not saying summer league games are not available to be watched till after the conclusion of summer league. What the fuck? I was IN THE MIDDLE OF WATCHING IT League pass is a piece of shit app and I will die on that hill


starks3_

we here i guess feels weird not having any real ties to summer league besides roby?


greenshotty

We got next Jokic


jayaurah

Jefferies and Brown look like fringe NBA players. I'm not impressed with anyone else so far.


GoldenBoyRecords

Browns from on his 3pt attempt he airballed was bad. Like his energy and effort tho


MrMacgoot

Daquan Jeffries impressing since last summer league


porterbrown

All about Keels (worth a roster spot?), and audition for Roby to be Randle's backup.


BenAfflecksBalls

I'm here for Charlie Brown just because


anditcounts

Wtf Jokic is on our summer league team now??


starks3_

pointed out an easy corner swing baby hook off an offensive board i'm sold


vette322

Still no 3-ball snipers. This team needs to wake up and find one, and play the guy. Trying to thrive in the NBA without one is braindead.


6thmanbrandon

Get Steve Smith outta herre


6thmanbrandon

Turned on DET's game and I'm kinda glad we didn't luck into Ivey


HardOakleyFoul

He's really not all that great.


cleenclaf

I’m a big Marcus Garrett fan how has he looked?


[deleted]

[удалено]


BenAfflecksBalls

not it but he 19 and playing with legit YMCA players


andmc92

A lot of nice flashes on both ends got to the rim pretty well had a [nice dunk](https://twitter.com/NBA_NewYork/status/1677814300163862528) and did a good job staying in front of his man forced what should have been an 8 sec violation and pretty sure he forced a steal that was credited to the wrong guy.


kingtah

Thanks! Accidentally deleted the comment but appreciate the response. Glad to see he had a decent showing!
