If he's still there I'd really like Liddell or Jovic in GS.

If you look at how those picks were acquired it’s really just playing with house money. I’m not sure what I think of the move yet, but Dieng has a lot of good qualities.

Seems pretty expensive to move up three spots.

Supposedly the Spurs were really high on LaRavia so Memphis was trying to get ahead of them at 20. Don't know if the Spurs would have taken him there or if they'd have tried to use a later pick, but I think that is why we moved up in what most can agree is likely an overpay. At least we got a 2nd back. The Melton deal was fine value wise, but that pick is a choice. In King K we trust when it comes to drafts until proven otherwise, but this seems like a not great plan right this second.

Did the spurs just had a good draft.

This is such a great pick though

Look at his consistent improvement.

He seems like a Kawhi leonard/jimmy butler/Otto porter in the making to me

If the Rockets still get tyty with two seconds to boot I will be happy

His passing game is something I really like, as a glue guy around Minnesota’s core. Seems solid to me.

Man, was hoping Jovic would've dropped to 43

If the deal is 3 1sts for 11, 4 2nds and Kemba then the Knicks really must have paid attention to how much OKC valued Dieng, Detroit valued Duren and Charlotte valued Williams. They knew OKC would give overpay to get their guy and keep 12, they knew Detroit would take Kemba to get Duren and they knew the Hornets had no interest in Duren if they could get Williams at 15 anyway.

All 3 1sts NY is getting from OKC (and they’re sending one to Charlotte) are heavily protected for a VERY long time.

He added that in a year.

His TOs/Fouls got lower in more minutes while becoming a playmaker.

He's got one of the biggest wingspans as a guard(7'1~) while being fundamentally sound on defense

And he went from a 20% 3 pt shooter to a 40% 3pt shooter in 2 years with enough attempts to make it look legit.

This kid is a complete steal. I'm really excited to see if you guys snag Dominick Barlow with one of your 2nds because hes the other guy I thought was way underrated in this draft

So grant was traded for Walker and 13?

Knicks are making moves. Lost count of what goes through them already .

1 of these things is not like the other.
