00:00Either what or who feels like the biggest stocking stuffer that nobody's talking about enough right

00:05now? I'll say it's Deuce McBride. And if you're talking about him, you're still not talking

00:09enough about him. The team has been 16-4 with Deuce in the lineup. He's averaging almost 12

00:15points on 44% shooting with a little more than six three-point attempts. So that's heavy volume

00:22where he's hitting a majority of his threes. He's found it from beyond the arc. On top of that,

00:28when you look at the advanced metrics, his offensive rating with the team when he's on the

00:32floor would be about four points better than the best offense in the league and be touching

00:37NBA historical offensive teams. The defense would be middle of the top 10, so like top

00:43seven. And that's where the Knicks ideally would want to be if they're going to compete

00:47for a championship. The fact that the Knicks have shown that they have more depth than

00:51more people expected them to have, it may be cool to kind of put him on the back burner

00:56and look at him as a nice to have, but I think he's essential.
