The July 29 draft is starting to look as pretty as a pink flamingo.<\/p>\n<p>Turns out the Knicks didn\u2019t need starting point guard Immanuel Quickley, who sat out Saturday\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> vs. Cleveland with a sore groin.<\/p>\n<p>And so debuted the starting rookie backcourt of point guard Miles McBride and shooting guard Quentin Grimes. They lit up Vegas with a combined 51 points as the Knicks held off the Cavaliers, 103-94, at Thomas &amp; Mack Center to move to 3-2.<\/p>\n<p>These aren\u2019t lottery picks. A little more than two weeks ago, Grimes was tabbed 25th. McBride fell to 36.<\/p>\n<p>According to a NBA source, Knicks officials are delighted their draft picks look significantly more polished than during the draft combine in late June.<\/p>\n<p>Grimes scored 28 points with McBride adding 23. The duo combined to shoot 17-of-34 from the field \u2014 11-of-22 from 3-point land. Fifty percent \u2014 50 percent.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Grimes.McBride.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Quentin Grimes and Miles McBride\" class=\"wp-image-19136248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Grimes.McBride.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Grimes.McBride.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Grimes.McBride.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Grimes.McBride.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Quentin Grimes and Miles McBride<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images (2)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI thought they did a great job \u2014 a lot of energy to start,\u2019\u2019 summer-league coach Dice Yoshimoto said. \u201cOne thing we talked about after [Friday\u2019s loss to Detroit] was to have energy and intensity to the game. We made a point about being aggressive on both ends of the floor.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Grimes, the Houston product, has scored 53 points in the past two games after a slow start to summer league.<\/p>\n<p>McBride, out of West Virginia, had a rough shooting game in the Friday loss (2-of-14) and bounced back with a vengeance. He sank 9 of 14 shots with five assists as he took control of the starting-point guard role from Quickley. McBride sank five of eight from 3-point land.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI tell him to shoot when he\u2019s open, don\u2019t hesitant, let it fly,\u2019\u2019 Yoshimoto said. \u201cAs long as he continues to shoot the right ones, I\u2019m OK with that.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>No one knows how much Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau will play McBride-Grimes this season, and he has yet to comment on the Knicks\u2019 four draft picks. But The Post reported before the draft Thibodeau pushed for McBride.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>As the Cavaliers scrambled back to within three with 2 minutes left, Grimes nailed a clutch left-wing 3-pointer and McBride hit a tough runner off the glass, old school.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Obi Toppin, the summer league\u2019s fifth-leading scorer and 2020 lottery pick, bulled and skied his way to 21 points (8-of-20 from the field).<\/p>\n<p>Even better, the highlight defensive play came when another Knicks 2021 draft pick, rookie center Jericho Sims, skied in the opening quarter to block emphatically a driving layup by Tre Scott, eliciting one of the loudest roars of the night. Sims, picked 58th, notched eight points and nine rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>The only downer was the Cavaliers\u2019 third pick in the draft, center Evan Mobley, sat out.<\/p>\n<p>As for the McBride-Grimes duo, they may get one more chance at it as the Knicks will finish the summer league with a consolation game vs. Atlanta on Monday at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>That will be intriguing because the Knicks traded their 19th pick for Charlotte\u2019s future first-rounder, and the Hawks went on to select highly touted but baggage-ridden Jalen Johnson with the 20th pick.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
