My observations from tonight:
That Kornet guy. Man. I’m a little baffled when I look at his stats because he wasn’t necessarily an amazing shooter in college from deep, at only 32%. Last year in the D League he shot 44% from deep on 6 attempts per game, a total of 207 attempts. This year in D League he’s 47.5% (29/61). For the year with the Knicks he’s 46.7% (21/45). Watching him was like watching Novak on the Knicks. I remember when Novak was on the Knicks and wishing we had someone who could light it up (sometime shortly after we let Korver walk). That guy had a really quick release, too. Not sure if he can do anything else, but he’s interesting and also kind of an anomaly compared to his college game.
Favors’ threes looked quick and comfortable. He needs more above the break. His jump shots are from there any way, just need to be back a few more feet. If he can wind up for a couple of those attempts per game and connect on a decent clip, then it’s game over. If he shows he can do that in the second half of the season, then it changes some of the calculus. If we continue to start our normal lineup, I’d have him put one up by the first quarter of each game.
Udoh is a beast. And he’s better than Bradley. We have Bradley under contract next year. We really need to be bringing back Udoh.
