James Edwards

He really likes that. I asked him about it a few weeks ago and he said playing with two of the greatest mid-range shooters of all time helped rub off on him a little bit. I do agree with him too. He talked about in the playoffs it's very key to be able to get any type of shot, but it's like throughout the course of the regular season, you can never make too many of those shots.

Dwayne Casey used to say, you can never make too many mid range shots to overcome the math game in today's NBA. And yeah, um, for the, in the next case, it's showing to be true. Like they shoot a lot of mid range shots. Uh, the offense is phenomenal.

Uh, I want to make sure that's clear, but there are times when the offense is very efficient and it doesn't matter because teams shoot more threes than they do. Right. Um, and they make more threes. So Mikkel has had a weird season. I agree defensively as well. Um, he just doesn't really get through screens. Well, like you watch OG and Anobu who's one of the best in the league at doing it.

And then you watch McHale. It's like, he takes the long way around.

Very weird season. I think the defense has been like something that he earned the label early. I think the last few years it's, not been to the all NBA level that I think most, if you ask most people that he, he possesses, he's, he still has the capabilities of being a really good defender. I just don't think we've seen it that much.

And OG has, when you look at how OG and nobody's a great defender. Yeah. I would say if you pick a weakness and OG's defensive abilities, it's guarding smaller guards, right? So you get McHale, you think he can take those assignments. You can play OG off ball and let him do what he does, but, Mikael's just really struggled staying in front of him, getting around screens.

It's been a big issue for the Knicks, especially when they don't have a pure rim protector down there anymore with Mitchell Robinson out and no Isaiah Hardenstein.

Yeah, you would think so. I think the one thing that they do have in common is the cutting. I think OG cuts with more frequency. I think OG is a little bit more physical and does get to the rim a little bit more. But I think the big difference between them is OG shooting a career high on threes above the break and Mikael shooting a career low higher.
