With incredible efficiency, too.

Far and away the worst contract in the NBA right now. Noah has been a worthless corpse for a few years now. And then the Knicks went and did that.

I'm convinced Phil is trying to sabotage his way out of NY.

Sarcasm.

But...I'll give him some respect, Ross has been balling lately, he's shooting 50/46/88 right now. His inconsistency in the past has had people wanting him traded.

1. They play two different positions and roles.

2. What Gobert lacks on the offensive end (which he has considerably improved as of late, he's Top 3 in Offensive Rating), he makes up for on the defensive end. He's in the conversation with Draymond and Kawhi as the best defender in the league.

3. What Love lacks on the defensive end (which he has also improved on, IMO), he makes up for on offense. On the glass, it's a wash between the two, but Love is the superior offensive talent (in terms of scoring - Gobert is the best screener and roller in the league right now), Gobert is the superior defensive talent.

Yeah he's always been a player with a ton of talent and potential that struggled to showcase his skills consistently. I could see him becoming a sixth man of the type player similar to a Jr smith or Jamaal crawford

Well said. I feel like in these types of comparisons people either strictly look at stats or focus more on the offense side of the ball to say that "player A is better than player B." There is more to an overall rating than offensive talent and per game averages.

I always think about a player like Ben Wallace. He was average at best on offense. Teams never had to worry about him as an offensive threat but he could change games with his defense, rebounding, and energy level. Strictly looking at his stats or offensive talent wouldn't give you an accurate representation of what his overall grade would be.

For the Knicks, Mindaugas Kuzminskas is still not listed as a rookie, and in play now and NBA today the Knicks assistant coach is the my career coach.
