REPORT: Pacome Dadiet’s Shooting Is Turning HEADS Inside the Knicks! 👀

Nicks fans, something very interesting is happening behind the scenes in New York, and it’s all about Pakome Doier. Fred Katz just dropped some inside info in his latest pod that might not mean much to casual fans, but Nick’s insiders, they’re paying very close attention. Apparently, Pakome’s internal shooting metrics in Nick’s practices have been off the charts. We’re talking elite level percentages, numbers that surprised even people inside the building. And if you remember what Catz said about Deuce McBride back when he was still shooting under 30% from deep in real games, those same internal metrics had him ranked among the best shooters on the team. And look how that turned out. So yeah, I think it’s time we start talking about Pomeier as more than just a stash project. And this is exactly what Fred Cat said. Quote, I talked to people with the Knicks and they tell me in practice settings, internal metrics, Pomeier shooting percentages are insanely good. Now look, Catz did say that this might mean nothing, which is fair. But when he added the part about Deuce McBride and how those same internal metrics predicted his shooting leap, that’s when my eyebrows went up because this front office has made a living off player development and spotting value where others don’t. And the real question right now is, can Pakome even crack the rotation this year? I think the answer is unlikely, but anything is possible. But he might even spend a chunk of time in the G-League again. But don’t be surprised if this dude becomes the Knicks next where did that come from type of success story. He’s only 19, but he’s going to be 20 soon and he’s athletic and now reportedly knocking down shots at a high clip in practice. So yeah, don’t sleep. Now let’s quickly hit on the other takeaways from the Knicks final summer league game yesterday. Ding paid put on a show. 20 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, one steal, two blocks, and four of seven from deep. And all of that came off the bench. This kid is only 19 years old and is just dripping with upside. You give him one or two years in Westchester to polish his game and fill out his frame and this might be one of the Knicks best value ads of the entire off season. And Mohamad Diawara continues to lock in his case for one of the final two-way spots at the very least and probably a rookie deal. Yesterday, he dropped nine points, seven rebounds, three assists, and two steals. The defense continues to shine. He’s not afraid to switch, contest, and scrap and do all the little things. The jumper is not fully there yet. One of five from deep, but like I’ve said before, the mechanics are not broken. It’s something to build on. Meanwhile, on the free agency market, Marcus Smart is officially off the board. Cross him off the list. As most of you guys know, he signed with the Lakers yesterday on a 2-year 11 million deal. And yes, the Knicks did reach out to him according to Stephan Bondi. But ultimately, they couldn’t offer him a clear role in the rotation. and the Lakers had more money on the table. So now, where does that leave New York with the final vet minimum slot? CP the franchise has said Ben Simmons is not a serious option, just due diligence. So, if I had to make an educated guess, Landry Shamid is still the likeliest candidate. He already played for the Knicks last season, knows most of the players, and he’s reportedly very open to coming back. And the reality is whoever gets that final spot will not be in the top 10 of the rotation unless there’s an injury. So, what you need in that spot is someone who’s fine staying ready, not causing any noise, and being a steady vet presence. Could Don Wright be a sneaky option? Maybe, maybe even Delano Banton, who I’m very intrigued by. And I’m going to go a lot more in-depth on the Banton possibility. So, stay tuned for that somewhere this week. But again, as of today, I think Shamid is the likeliest option because there’s mutual interest there. and I think he would be fine with a role that’s not really consistently getting minutes, especially if there’s no other team that can offer him some consistent rotational minutes. But the biggest thing I’m watching right now, it’s not who we’re signing next, it’s whether Pakome Dier is the next sleeper the Knicks front office just quietly unlocked. And I wouldn’t bet against them. If you enjoyed this video, make sure to hit that like button and sub to the channel for more Nicks news and updates you will not want to miss all summer long.
