Regarding Julius -played mega-minutes while giving his all during the season.  Kept waiting for him to hit the wall, and think that happened in the playoffs -agree a bad look all-around.
I'm OK riding w/Julius b/c he carried the Knicks on his back all season, and think the high-usage was simply necessary, not Julius requiring that.  If the Knicks can acquire a couple more top players, expect Julius would thrive not having to give so much effort for mega-minutes.  Seems like a team guy and great leader to me.  I'm ignoring the 5 games vs Hawks -consider that an understandable crash/burn.  Just my opinion.

RJ made a big improvement to >40% on 3's.  He had a very encouraging 2nd season, nearly all stats much better.  Along with that, he's a proven determined, hard worker.  He needs to put together 40" games -too often he was AWOL in first halfs.  Anyway, I'm good with riding 20-year old RJ's continuing development also -and again just my opinion!

Hope you're right about Mitch injuries being one-offs.  Just the way he plays/throws his body around gets me wondering if the injuries could become a trend.  If he can stay healthy, at 23 Mitch is another young improving Knick, and will be interesting to see where his ceiling is.

Great to think we could be only a couple players away from a contending team very soon!
