In fact, Grimes executed a six-point possession. He drilled a 3, got fouled, missed the free throw but got the long rebound and made another from downtown.<\/p>\n<p>McBride badly outclassed Cooper, the well-touted Auburn star whom the Knicks passed on four times in the draft. After McBride dunked on Cooper, the Hawks point guard dribbled downcourt and McBride harassed him into an airball.<\/p>\n<p>Cooper, who fell to 48th in the draft, sat out the second half with what was said to be a stomachache \u2014 or perhaps the McBride Flu. A source told The Post that McBride outplayed Cooper in their Knicks draft workout, too.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\"\/>\u201cThat\u2019s how I get my offense going,\u2019\u2019 McBride said of his defense. \u201cIt\u2019s really coming in, stopping guys and giving energy to the team and that gives me offensive opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought I played well but never satisfied because that\u2019s when your opponents catch up. I had a pretty solid summer league, coming in to learn a whole new system. I did well in that but a lot things to improve on.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>As one NBA scout said in Las Vegas, \u201cHe ain\u2019t scared of the moment and plays on both sides.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, McBride and Grimes looked better Monday than the Knicks 2020 first-rounders. Starting point guard Immanuel Quickley had another awful shooting night (3 of 18, 3 of 14 from 3, finishing just 12 of 50 in Vegas) but dished out seven assists. Obi Toppin had the worst of his six games, held to 11 points (4 of 12) and nine rebounds.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Knicks rookie center Jericho Sims, selected 58th, looked spry again with 13 rebounds and six points, showing he could see some NBA time after signing a two-way G-League contract.\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.
