The first half of the SummerKnicks’ tenure in Las Vegas is over. That’s cause there is no way they make it to the knockout stage. And hey, not that we care! On to the links and notes.
The Knicks dropped to 0-2 in Summer League with a 70-49 loss to San Antonio, which brought them closer to the prospect of having an 82-0 season once real basketball starts next fall. No Scenes from Russell, so here are some notes from boxscore-watching G2.
Rookie flamethrower Tyler Nickel again led the SummerKnicks, scoring 16 points and making four more threes. He is now 10-of-21 from deep through two games, shooting 47.6 percent from distance, and one of only three players to hoist at least 10-plus threes per game in Las Vegas. Not counting Caleb Wilson (one-game sample), Nickel has the second-best 3P% among dudes launching more than 8 3PA per game. Fellow neophyte Jack Kayil made his debut and finished with 12 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 21 minutes. He started slowly, then hit consecutive threes and showed some burst. Most importantly, however, was what Kayil said after the game, with the rookie still dead-set on staying in the USA instead of getting back to Germany: “My goal is to play in the NBA. That’s why I went into the draft.”Pacome Dadiet followed his 20-point opener with 13 points on 4-of-12 shooting and another rough night from deep. He is now 2-of-13 from three through two games. There are flashes, but the efficiency is nowhere to be found, and I doubt anybody can predict, let alone know, what’s next for the Frenchmen.Mohamed Diawara’s SL outings have been much worse, but our own Michael Zeno let everybody know Mo’s struggles are a “big nothingburger.”Lots of folks asking about Liam…
