Zinger the Ringer!

The Knicks SL team just beat the Spurs SL team in a pretty close and fun game.   The good news for us Knicks fans is that both Kristaps Porzingis and Jerian Grant were impressive and contributed mightily to the win.  Zinger was limited to about 18 minutes total, but managed 12 points, about 5 or 6 rebounds and 2 or 3 blocks.  He would have also had some assists if guys had completed the plays.   The really good news is that he looked fearless and was really game.  He definitely needs to add strength, but he got to the line and hit his shots, and that will be the penalty for anyone who roughs him while he's still growing.  They had him playing C today, so, he didn't get many 3 ball opportunities and was fouled on the one he tooks.   He get his hands up on D, and really it just looks like the sky is the limit for this kid.

Jerian Grant was also really impressive showing he could get into the lane and get to the line, as well as pass and play some D.  He was a little out of control at times and turned it over and missed a couple of dunks, one on which he was fouled.   Remember, though he is just getting exposed to the triangle and a bunch of new players.  Like Kristaps, he's a good free throw shooter, so, he too, will make the other teams pay for fouling him.

Also impressing were Cleanthony Early, Ricky Ledo and NDour.   No one else really stood out and Thanasis looked out of control and useless in the halfcourt O.
