We got Grimes, Deuce, and Sims. All of them look like to be good as well. I don't think we have roster spots and minutes to develop more than 3 rookies right now.

Every team's missed on draft picks. You can't really "evaluate" too much because most of these kids are 1 and done. Back in the day, players were proud to graduate from their alma maters and get their degree. Now, there's just way too much money available to these kids who came from poor economic backgrounds. Hell, even if they come from heathy socio-economic strata, there's still too much money to ignore. So we have all of these really young kids coming into the NBA, a man's league for the most part. Given their age and lack of experience, mistakes are sure to be made.

Would be nice to have one young player who is actually good. Not ok. But really good.

Oh well. It's the Knicks and Dolan. Won't ever happen. Closest was KP, and between him being a weirdo and the Knicks being stupid, it didn't last.

It's becoming painful for me to watch games around the league. 4 of my 5 favorite players are all likely Knicks in an alternate timeline. SGA, Melo and Ja but even Darius is looking like a future perennial all-star. Any one of these guys would have changed the entire identity of our team and set my soul free.

But alas we have young Rowan. Averaging 14PPG off some really bad everything, has regressed on all the math sheets, shows little sign of taking a leap both figuratively and literally and still air balls layups with his right hand. Randle's shadow is released onto the court maybe 15 minutes on a good night despite outplaying his master in the time he's given and Kevin Knox well ... eh whatever I'm done.

I try to avoid watching the rest of the league. It reminds me how much the Knicks suck in spite of their so called improvements.

I'm not gonna lie, but I literally hate looking at ashy legs on anyone. It's like they're crumbling to dust. PUT SOME DAMN MOISTURIZING LOTION ON DAMMIT!

They used a #1 pick on a rich man’s Caleb Swanigan that’s pretty bad

I’m kinda glad we didn’t get him at this point even with RJ being Maple Morrison the disappointment would be unbearable

Ayton will be such a problem for the Warriors. He is not a big that they can take off the court.

they’re gonna have to develop Wiseman correctly to battle Ayton

I have a bad feeling about Wiseman in GS, might end up like Bagley there or at worst like Darko for the Pistons. Don’t trust the Warriors developing bigs and I don’t think they really need Wiseman’s skill set.

To be honest I think Warriors might have more use for Mitch than Wiseman.

If Zion gets his playing weight down to 350 he might have a chance to shine

I don’t recognize a single name on that OKC roster and could confidently say I couldn’t pick out an OKC player if they were walking down the street in uniform.

I think the Grizz were insulted that Shai isn't playing.
