PostSportsPlus: Evan Fournier vs. Quentin Grimes: Who makes the most sense as the Knicks’ starter?
On the first day of training camp, Tom Thibodeau said Evan Fournier — and not promising second-year player Quentin Grimes —, prompting Knicks fans to immediately storm Twitter with their outrage.Let’s break down the pros and cons of starting Fournier and bringing Grimes off the bench.As Bill Parcells might say, let’s not induct Grimes into Springfield, Mass.— site of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame — just yet.
There is nothing wrong with beginning the season with Fournier in the starting lineup and bringing Grimes along slowly. Why put unneeded pressure on the kid with less than 50 games under his belt? Plus, he could get more opportunities with the second unit to showcase some of the playmaking ability he flashed in Sin City.
Quentin Grimes has flashed the type of dynamic skills that could raise the ceiling of what the Knicks are capable of this season.As addressed above, the Knicks’ biggest leaps may come from their young players’ development. Grimes might be the best of that group with the exception of Barrett.
“It helps me a lot,” Robinson said. “He can shoot it, he can make plays, he can dribble, he can take it to the rim. [T]he way he plays is really going to help me out. There’s a lot of guys like him that’s in this league. Not all of them block shots and just run the floor like [me]. He’s definitely going to be a great factor for me.”
