Knicks Camp Opens

David Fizdale opened his first official Knicks camp yesterday and the excitement was palpable.  Not really used to this for the Knicks, so we'll have to see what this is like.  There are 20 players present and 6 total coaches. Not a bad ratio.  Kristaps Porzignis is in the house, and I think it's important for the team's future that he feel and be a part of things while the kids are jelling or failing to.  There was a lot of buzz about Mitchell Robinson yesterday. The Knicks seem to think they got two lottery values in the draft, and we need hope that's so, because it really advances the rebuild clock.

Noah has not reported, nor has a stretch and buyout deal been announced.

The guards are going to be interesting.  They have 3 PG's; Trey Burke, Frank Ntilikina and Emmanuel Mudiay - all different and all former lottery picks. They have Tim Hardaway, Courtney Lee and a bunch of non-lottery, undistinguished guys like, Trier and Dotson.  Fizdale is saying whoever gets the ball first becomes the PG for any specific possession. That's what the Holzman used to do with his guards.  So yay.  Both Frank and Mudiay have the size to play wing when they don't have the ball, might be more problematic for Burke, but when he is on he's an scoring/assisting machine.

Regardless of the record, this should be the most fun Knicks season in years.
