Bottom line, we were 4th at one point and we fell to 7th. This franchise deserves Anthony Bennett.

Anthony Bennett can't even hold a candle to the kids coming out in this draft. Even with #7th pick, the knicks will still be able to get a good player.

Bos - Jackson (Don't need a guard)
Phe - Fultz
LAL - Ball (won't pass on home grown)
Orl - Isaac (A lot of their fans want him, Tatum, Monk, or Isaac?)
Phi - Ntilitina (Philly can actually go in any directions so the rest is determined by who they pick)
NY - Tatum (Between Tatum, DSJ, and Fox....... I can't pass on Tatum)
Min - Monk (Monk/Bridges/Markanen)
Dal - Fox (Home grown)
Sac - DSJ (It's funny how Draft Express has Sac picking Smith and Frank)
Sac - Bridges
Char - Markkanen

I would still be excited to have a choice of Tatum, Fox, DSJ, or Monk ( Not a big fan but the kid can score). I like Frank and Isaac (High ceiling, but also have the highest chance of busting. I do hope that they go ahead of the Knicks pick.


if we pass on fox and dsj for tatum

If Jackson, Fultz, and Ball weren't in this draft Tatum would be labeled as the #1 pick, not DSJ and not Fox. Hell there are some out there that feel Tatum is the #1 pick right now. He's highly underrated here because of the Iso label in-which he never holds the ball long and is a willing passer.

they plan this before hand if there are any playoff chases they want all the games to start at the same time so no one has a unfair advantage knowing what the other team has done.

And we were 14-10 at one point as well. I'm not sure I get your point...we went through a stretch of games where we played philly, orlando, brooklyn a lot of games we played about .500 through that stretch which isn't easy to do. Other teams caught us by a game or so it happens...

When I stick to one game it usually holds up but if I want to surf across games it goes bonkers. I use PS4 btw...wouldn't suggest it to others.

My ipad works great, but I often watch on a Roku. They recently updated their app and it no longer has the option to start a game from the beginning if you're getting there a little late. I hate it. :banghead:

If the Knicks draft at 7 I can see alot of the guards bring gone. I guess we will get Frank or Tatum. I don't see Smith Jr or Monk falling past Philly and Orlando.

I don't want Fox.

I can see going 4-7
4. Orlando - Tatum
5. Philadelphia - Monk
6. Minnesota - Issac
7. New York - Smith/Frank

I think we end up getting exactly what we want at 6 or 7. It's just all about who the organization likes more between Frank and DSJ. I'll be happy with both.


NO WAY Fox doesn't get picked before number 8!!


Fox feels like the guy this year that ends up making the jump to top 5 on draft night


As I said before, this whole draft is going off of what Philly does. Once they make their pick it's going to be like Trading Places:

I strongly feel that Orlando will pass on a point guard (Payton finally looks decent) and will chose between Isaac/Monk/or Tatum. I hope and pray they chose Isaac and Minn chooses Monk (Lavine security).

We need the highest possible pick F what you heard. The more options the better. Lose tonight. Timberwolves are so bad. Remember Harden is against resting. Wolves would get blown out anyway. I say knicks hold their own destiny.

Only thing that has me hype is potential Melo knowing he will be leaving after exit meetings and Knicks knowing they got the 6th pick spot locked heading into lottery.

If melo is here next season I wouldn't be that excited to see knicks game it will also tell me knicks have no clear direction and are screwed.
