This is PERFECT for the Knicks...

This is perfect for the New York Knicks as they have an opportunity to get one of the most Underrated players in the NBA as Leon Rose has always been very good at pulling this off and on top of this He is a former teammate of a Knick fan favorite in Tyler Kolick who is expected to have a bigger role this season and guys We're gonna dive into why we now have a new player to look at for another center on this team a true rim protector Who also is one of the best pick setters in the league and guys that is none other than oh, so Iguodaro now Iguodaro has been a very talented player in Phoenix, but his minute situation has not always been great But now with the New York Knicks He would get the opportunity to instantly become a huge help for this team giving them a good screener and a great rim protector And guys if you want a great rim protector in your life I don't know what that means that sounded like I was gonna do an ad read But really I'm just asking you to subscribe I thought I was gonna have something slick to say I didn't but 66% of viewers are unsubscribed Sometimes I have cool ways of doing this it is completely free to watch these videos and Knicks videos do come out Every single day, but talking on Iguodaro he is someone who is a very talented player who honestly would fit super super well with the Knicks and we saw this already Get brought up by Ersan Demir who did mention that I hope the New York Knicks explore a trade for oh So Iguodaro who is owed 2.2 million dollars this year and 2.4 million dollars next year Clearly a defensive plus and an interior playmaking hub Maybe a Miles McBride one-on-one swap where the Knicks would add a second as they clear the buyers See as they're the clear buyers here would get a deal done now I know there's a lot of thought on dues and potentially getting traded I recently did a video on it yesterday and talked about how there has been more talk of dues potentially getting moved at the same time it might not cost dues if the Knicks were to throw up a come Dottie a and some second-round picks and I mean like Three or four second-round picks the ones they acquired in this draft Then they have a chance of getting this deal done And it's one of those situations where the Suns do have a couple big men on that team already between Cam and Malawatch Between having Mark Williams, who they just signed to an extension. Iguodaro does not really have an outlet to a ton of playing time however with the Knicks He absolutely would have that chance to go out there and get some serious minutes and help this team in a huge way Now Iguodaro again, he's been talented throughout his career He's a really good rim protector and he goes out there and plays his heart out now He played that not 83 games, but they're counting the other kind of playing game here, which is why it says 83 But overall he put up 6.5 points and 5.1 rebounds with two assists He's a very talented playmaker got a steal per game got nearly a block per game in his 22 minutes shot efficiently from the field at 65% Now he's similar to Mitchell Robinson in a lot of ways only shot 46% from the line and does have his fair share of issues there as well But still he gives the Knicks a really good screener and a good Versatile defender who can go out there and really add a lot to this Knicks team Now again, the man's never gonna actually shoot jump shots That's not part of his game, but the Knicks don't need him to do that They have first of all Andre Drummond is not afraid to shoot a three now, which is awesome But Iguodaro will shoot from the mid-range and he's amazing below the rim as well Which is really the reason to go make a move for him He's very efficient at the hoop and again in the mid-range. He will hit a mid-range jump shot If you leave him wide open, he's not afraid to shoot one or two and overall he can hit it So he spaces the floor enough for a Knicks team that has a lot of spacing and with this playmaking He will be able to help this team Especially when he's grabbing offensive rebounds and stuff like that And he's been a great player Basketball University said as much saying oh so Iguodaro and Rashear Fleming got some really nasty defensive tape for 23 and 21 years old Wow stat defender mentioned that The most screen assists in the 2025-26 NBA regular season Rudy Gobert was first Damias Cato was second, DeAndre Ayton was third. All those guys were starters. Oh, so Iguodaro is Fourth on that list. He's ahead of notable names like Moussa Davite, Nikola Jokic, Nick Claxton Who played a lot of minutes, Maxime Reynaud who's one of the Arguably the probably the franchise player of the Sacramento Kings going forwards. Wendell Carter jr. Played a lot of minutes So overall Iguodaro is showing that he is up there with the best screeners in Basketball and the basketball index mentioned something similar saying the top five second-year players in defensive talent Donovan Klingin is One at 2.1 and Iguodaro is second at 1.6 having a big bit of a lead over Ron Holland at M Bona and Alexandre Saar and as the basketball index mentions defensive talent is made up of a combination of our defensive metrics They are weighed by what a player is asked to do via their defensive role It aims to capture a player's defensive value in a neutral team context so Overall, we look at Iguodaro and we do see someone who is very very talented and is going to be underused by the Suns this Year, so why don't the Knicks try to go in there and purchase him? So then they don't have to look to try to find that other center Also, if they trade out Pacom Dadia the Suns figured out their cap situation fairly recently So they could take in a little bit more money Then they give out meaning they could acquire Dadia along with second round picks And then all of a sudden the Knicks have completed a major Robbery because they've now acquired a player who really really helps them and again I'm saying there would be a lot of second round picks involved. I'm not saying Pacoman Oh two second round picks one protected. No, I'm not a lunatic. I know that no one would accept that trade I'm not pretending like they would but at the same time If you offer Pacoman like four second round picks the Suns are gonna be interested because they want to add more draft capital Anyway, and for a guy who honestly again, they have Kamen Malowat who has been playing amazing basketball recently They just gave Mark Williams an extension. Both those guys are pure centers. Iguodara was a pure center You don't have a role for him Why not move them and add some more draft capital while the Knicks Desperately need a center and you could probably milk them for a few second round picks in the process and all of a sudden it Feels like it's not the worst deal in the world for the Suns as well While the Knicks get a clear win by actually getting a good defending big man Look, I know Towns came leaps and bounds defensively and Andre Drummond over the years has become a better defender But at the same time there is still a bit of a Mitchell Robinson sized hole left in our wall now Andre Drummond filled that quite well He's one of the best rebounders in basketball and overall does a few things better than Mitch and Drummond actually Balled out against Mitchell Robinson one time this season including hitting three threes in a single game. But at the same time Overall it just makes sense to go get a center like especially Iguodara is young He's chief and he's got a connection to the Knicks Funny enough the Knicks actually technically drafted Iguodara, but instantly traded him to Phoenix So effectively Phoenix drafted him But at the same time him and Tyler Kolik were the two best players on Marquette the year that they both went to the NBA draft when they lost pretty deep in the in March Madness Overall Kolik was viewed as someone who'd likely be a first-round pick and Iguodara was second round pick Kolik slipped to the second round The Knicks got a draft steal and Kolik and Kolik is expected to play more minutes this year. I know there is a very very deep Rotation of guards on this team and maybe that's why we would see Deuce McBride get involved in a trade like this It's certainly possible because the Knicks did re-sign Jose Alvarado and they did re-sign Landry Shaman They do have Tyler Kolik on a cheap contract who they absolutely love But then trading Deuce when he's on an expiring deal, there is an argument for that as well So I do think right now the Knicks are in a great position. I would love to see this get done again Iguodara is very talented. He makes me I'd love him again Like when we look at the screen assists points per game in the 2025-26 NBA playoffs We do see that Iguodara was first in the NBA I mean ahead of a ton of guys on this list I mean ahead of everyone on this list, but notably Rudy Gobert, Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokic, three guys who have been incredible NBA players. Andre Drummond, who is a Knick, Donovan Klingin, who I'm a huge fan of, Robert Williams, the Time Lord Who the Knicks have shown interest in as well. Devin Mobley, Jalen Duran, who is an all-star So we do look at this and understand Iguodara has got some real potential and he's not gonna reach it with the Suns with the Knicks have some excellent big men coaching. They are the perfect team for this. I want to see this move happen Let me know what you guys think in the comments down below.
