Stefan Bondy: Taj Gibson on whether he uses media projections and predictions as a motivator: “We don’t look at that stuff. Being a Knick alone you kind of see getting criticized every day, everywhere you go. We just believe in what we’ve got going here.”
The entire team and coach staff, along with executives Steve Mills and Scott Perry were a part of the visit, signing autographs and taking pictures with the soldiers, military personnel and medical staff. Fizdale then took a contingent of players — Dennis Smith Jr., Julius Randle, Kevin Knox, Wayne Ellington and Taj Gibson to visit wounded veterans in their rooms.
Mike Vorkunov: Official heights/weights for Knicks are in, after NBA’s rule change. Kevin Knox went from 6-9 to 6-8 Mitchell Robinson went from 7-1 to 7-foot Frank Ntilikina dropped from 6-6 to 6-5 Taj Gibson jumped from 6-9 to 6-10 Dennis Smith Jr. is 10lbs lighter Elfrid Payton gained 10 lbs
One rival GM liked the amassing of respectable, dirty-work players — led by frontcourt men Julius Randle, Taj Gibson, Bobby Portis and Marcus Morris. But the GM doesn’t know what it amounts to. Las Vegas sportsbooks made its statement, putting the Knicks Over/Under for wins at 28.5. “They’ve aggregated some talent but I‘m not sure of the fit,” the GM said. “Knox is still a mystery. Teams liked Randle, but the [contract] number was scary [three years, $63 million].’’
