Dang you ready to pick soon? This is gonna be my first BAF draft so I’m excited

yessir my pick is already in with bish… debating changing it…

Talk about your pick bro. What do you like a out the kid?

[DOT]

I'm not knocking Risacher at 1 cause, I get it when looking at everyone else in the draft, but still

Whoever said having the 1st pick was like having a class with Tobias Harris at #1 was dead on, cause more fluid Tobias Harris was my comp for Risacher.

[SOUL]

My soon to be 9 guards on the roster realizing only 4 of them are going to get playing time:



Grayson and Beal still available for trades!

[ezmoney707]

Uh, spoilers but I traded my 1st round pick. Whoever owns it now probably needs me to pick for them I assume?

Nvm read this wrong

[KnicksGadfly]

Hmm so when making picks, we gotta pm bish or it’s not official right? Or can we have the person picking 2nd do the announcement?

That's why I had no qualms trading away my pick. This class is just ick

[SOUL]

I've identified the market inefficiency of people hating this class so I will come out of here with the Gobert and Giannis equivalents of 2013 (coping)

[Fat]

Will go down as the greatest draft class of all time

Risacher is solid. If his high level shooting translates he should be a high floor guy. His defense is really underrated I think. He will need to work on his creation to take that next level though. In a draft that’s very reliant on landing spots, he’s probably a pretty safe bet at the moment

I traded away 14

I like taking a swing on someone in every draft, but it's more a shot in the dark this time. Like, there's nobody I'm f5'ing to see if they went ahead of me, cause nobody really sticks out

There are 2 guys I want really bad, but that's for personal reasons lol.

i like his size and the fact that he’s got a valuable nba skill in shooting. those 2 things alone should carve him a long nba career.. i went back and fourth with him and the 7 foot french guy.. his size and athleticism def made him a tempting choice but the more i watch him i feel like he has a ways to go offensively, and defensively don’t know if he’s gonna be special enough there to be worthy of number 1 pick status down the road although i admit i could be wrong. don’t like the fact he’s turning down the hawks for workouts irl too and hearing rumors he doesn’t want to be the first overall pick.. screams no dog in em and gives me french bust vibes aka our beloved nyk very own fredrick weiss
big men usually take much longer to develop as oppose to wings and guards and i wasn’t sure i was willing to bank on it.. overall this draft is ass for finding a sure fire franchise talent.. might be some dude who comes out of nowhere in the second round or latter part of the first..

But how do you say his name? Is it like a sneeze?

Edit - I just skimmed some videos. It is like a sneeze.

His issue seems to be he had at least one Bouknight too many.

[SOUL]

I remember on draft night the Knicks board **** on the Magic for drafting Franz over Bouknight.. to be fair our board also loved Bouknight.. that was one guy I never thought was gonna be good but I've been very wrong on others I was sure was gonna be good (Bamba, Hezonja)

It was weird, cause I was lower on him than a lot of people, I think even at his best I didn't see any above average NBA skill

He definitely has the talent to be in the league, but I comped him to Jeremy Lamb coming out, a guy who's more of a bench player that's just solid at everything but great at nothing

I was much higher on Jordan Hawkins, cause I knew he could for sure be a role player for a long time in the league.
