undersized triple double king of NYK

a little passive, but whenever anyone goes down he steps up

almost a B+ making All Star would’ve gotten him there

if Shamet played like he did the final few games they would’ve gotten a far better grade

would’ve gotten a better grade if they had more playing time, but unfortunately Kolek and Hulk the two young stars of the future were held in check by our HC as he limited their development by having them ride the pine for far too long during the season, didn’t see enough Daddiet, McCullar, Toppin, etc … the late addition vets did what bench vets were supposed to do, I think their value might show up during the post season
Thibs
C
and the “C” isn’t for coaching, IMO his lack of in game fundamentals, coaching 101 was very lacking, his stubbornness, his love for certain players and his over usage of said players made his grade nosedive, if not for the 51 wins, he’s in “F” (Fired) territory .. IMO his final grade will be all about what he does during the post season
Team
B
unfinished product, lacking a good three point defense, too many blown leads, too easily pushed around and injured, offensively they need to be a lot more consistent from behind the three point line
Hannibal
Jalen Brunson
A-
responsible for a ton of heavy lifting on offense. All Star. All NBA.
Mikal Bridges
B
point of attack defense and spot up 3point shooting could have been a lot better. Very passive offensively at times.
Karl-Anthony Towns
A-
responsible for a ton of heavy lifting on offense. All Star. All NBA.
Josh Hart
B+
Best season of his career. Wasn’t locked in at times
OG Anunoby
B+
Best season of his career. Bad stretch of offense midseason that he shook off. Great on defense all season.
Deuce McBride
C+
Inconsistent shooting, hurt too often, size issues on defense
Landry Shamet
B
Relative to his career, he had a good season
Cam Payne
B-
Inconsistent shooting. Took way too many bad shots. Considered giving him a C+.
Precious Achiuwa
C-
Way more bad than good
Mitchell Robinson
B+
Impacted the game while working is way into shape
Delon Wright
A
Couldn’t ask for more from a guy that barely played. 4-1 as a starter.
Tyler Kolek
B-
Can’t expect much from a rookie. Has work to do. Needs to hit the gym.
Pacome Dadiet
C+
Rookie. Needs to play with more aggression. Needs an attitude adjustment.
Thibs
B
Great stretches during the season but the team got bogged down at times and didn’t do enough to get them out of it. Could have done a better job managing minutes sooner.
