His lack of shot creating ability or shooting is a bit concerning. Defensively and from a finishing standpoint he looks great.
Is Son of Leon his agent?

Tristan Da Silva
Tidjane Salaun
Ulrich Chomche
Tyler Smith
Obviously some may already be out of reach and others might once workouts start. But if I really like someone, I would look to trade both 1sts and see if I can move up to get a guy I really like than settle for the ability to make 2 selections. I just don't see the Knicks having a depth need and honestly you can argue they really don't have any active roster needs. I would look to add talent and if I have to move up I would (if for example I really believe in Salaun and his crazy versatility upside or Da Silva overall immediate roster impact skills). As of right now I'm thinking that all of these guys are at least in the range of being able to trade up to draft (not talking about top sure bet lottery guys).
The Knicks aren't really in a position to have to have someone that fills a need from the draft POV (they can fill needs via trade or FA as they are in position for proven talent). So they can go with guys like this that have potential high impact at the NBA level even if there is an element of (higher than expected) risk with a few of these guys.

Gimme the guys that closest protect to be Tre Murphy / Mikal Bridges type players... let's keep loading up those types like New Orleans has wisely been doing... Not sure if people see how effective Tre Murphy was at shutting down one of the most elite scorers in the league (SGA)... keep loading up on elite defenders and you can beat any team...

If not using it for a bigger trade, maybe even trade up to get someone that they like more that might not be around at 24. Not sure how many teams are interested in extra picks and moving down though in this draft.

We don't have the 43, but the rest is correct.
What's encouraging about where we are picking is the FO has done well in this range. IQ was picked 25. Deuce and Mitch were both picked 36.

oops.
I think I got that from NBAdraft.net, but they no longer show it. 3 picks. I'm still betting they're going to do some kind of swap.
