Is There More To Precious Achiuwa's Game Than We Think?

Alex goes solo to preview the upcoming season for Precious Achiuwa, including some kind of eyebrow-raising numbers. Is he ready to be the full-time backup center? Could he actually spend some time at the power forward again? Is he being underutilized as a passer? And much more!

as for Precious and the 3-ball - if it’s ever going to happen, it will happen on this Knicks team because he will have enough bonafide shooters around him that he will have extra split-seconds to get shots up.

[@chrisstfort7]

What he lacks in rim protection he makes up for with switch-ability. He’s not dominant guarding centers or guards but he can hang with both. As for his jumper, if he can improve to a 33% clip from deep this will be enough to keep defenses honest.

[@childofgod8148]

The thing about Prescous is that if he gets any better, we might not be able to re-sign him!

[@jasonfletcher2468]

If Precious develop a 3, he's definitely gone.

[@mikemiller2509]

Precious just needs playing time. He got better the more he played with us last season

[@marclaguardia3529]

imagine how this conversation changes, and our center outlook improves, if Simms comes into pre-season with a willingness and ability to take and make 10-15’ face-up jumpers.

[@johnfadian15]

Ya I do not understand it. I just watched him in a pickup game with Jalen Brunson and the rest of the Knicks he was hitn 3's from the corner. Putting those jumpers down from 10 ft.form looked good. And then the season starts and u Don't take one damn shot!!!!!!!!! Why practice them??

[@marclaguardia3529]

Well, Simm’s professional back is up against the wall here. The team needs him to make a leap. Maybe he’ll actually do it. Robinson never made good on his summer work. What he is is pretty damn good, but a jump-shooting Simms would give them some versatility, there. Fingers crossed.

[@puglover8171]

Precious is ready. The reason we need another center is Robinson is injury prone, and Sims hasnt proved he should be a starter or backup.
