I can only hope that the Knicks snatch WCS, don't want him near Orlando.

Who do you want?


I would be okay with just about anyone not named WCS or Winslow. I mean some of my favorites would be SJ, Taps, Portis, Kaminsky, Hezonja, and Lyles.

Ok thanks for your answer.I like your group,especially portis,taps,johnson,lyles.You don t like tuner?Great potential as a two way player.

I'm thinking Porzingis will be the pick, and I'm happy with that. He needs to put on a lot of weight, but I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to be the best player in this draft.

just amusing how we're in here making strong, good, arguments for some players and they, 1 spot ahead of us, absolutely hate those same players. the over-reactions are priceless.

I also enjoy reading a Kings forms and how terrified they are that Orlando will take WCS.

no, the meltdown would ensue with the drafting of another SG, lol. First their fans were mad Noel went 1 pick before them in 2013; then they were livid for passing on Elf for Sauce Castillo, another SG. If they go Mario over WCS or we take him 1 pick before them, complete chaos. I may spend most of draft night following their board, lol.

Came across this article on the Knicks forum about WCS. Its a very good read into him as a person. Its from Dec 2014.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2287213-superstardom-awaits-willie-cauley-steinif-he-finally-decides-he-wants-it

Some very alarming quotes that show how he's opposite of everything we've seen in players from past drafts, but I see something special and untapped within him. Enjoy the long read.

Turner showed up at the combine and nailed his interviews. "He's a highly intelligent, thoughtful guy," said one GM, and spent much of his time, along with his camp, quieting concerns about his biomechanical issues. NBA doctors got a look at him this weekend and if they say the same thing that Turner's doctors are saying (that his knees are fine, and that his running issues are pretty easily corrected), he's going to rise. I think he's the last player on the board who could end up cracking the top five. "He's a long 7-footer who can stretch the floor and really protect the rim," one GM said. "He was up-and-down as a freshman. He's not ready, etc. But the upside? It's big. People forget he was ranked No. 2 [in high school] for a reason. He has time to get better. But what Turner has you can't teach. I think there's some risk there, but the upside is tremendous." Turner will work out alongside Porzingis in Vegas on the June 12. A clean bill of health and a new, improved running gait should do wonders for his stock, according to multiple NBA GMs. "If that's all clean, he's a top-five guy for us."

A lot of insight into who WCS is as a person. Doesn't fit into what Rob was looking for so far.

There is a strong possibility that henny doesn't draft one of WCS,winslow and porzingis and goes in a different direction.
I have seen workouts and interviews of myles turner and bobby portis.My opinion is that both are henny guys,they have good character,bbiq and work ethic,they love the game and play with motor at both ends of the floor.May be i am wrong but i have a feeling about that and i am sure that is really high on turner and portis.

My mind can't take this draft anymore. I'm sticking with Turner and Portis and stopping there.

Yeah. I value character really high and those two seem to have it in spades.

I'm all for being a nice guy, but I also want some dogs on the team. Some killers. This is basketball, not a tea party.

You guys are going to have a really nice team. Where does Dipo fit in with the team's plans? I think he has a really bright future in this league. Underrated prospect for sure. Adding the 5th pick to a core of Voosh, Payton, and Dipo is going to be fun to watch. Magic will be one of my LP teams next season.

Thanks, Dipo is our starting SG now and into the future.
