Still could very much do without the contested, poor looks from 3 early in the shot clock that he does too often.

Lottery pick is all the way through 18? Try re-reading what I said...it's really not that hard. Or maybe it is.

DX has him at 15. NBAdraft.net has him at 12. Ford has him at 16. So late lotto and after he tested better than expected he is climbing. But yea you can believe hes a 6'7 stiff who just stands around and hoists bombs if that suits your agenda.
Yet we're supposed to believe Brooks has all of the sudden jumped from mid 2nd round into the lottery because Grover said he looked like Kobe? Listen to yourself.

Ha grouchy tonight are we Moo? Im sorry Im not on the dudes schlong. You're suggesting us pick him at #17 correct? Which is right outside the lottery, and thus is saying he has value at that spot. Really not that hard to get.

"There are needs," Walsh added. "I always look at the draft if we get a guy whose good, who could fill a need, that's wonderful. But it may come down to who's the best player. You can't pass on a great player."
TrueWarrior wrote:Ha okay Moo Moo. We pick at 17. Lottery ends at 14. Big f*ckin whoop. Take the stick out ur butt. Im going to ask you again. Do you want to pick Marshon Brooks at #17? Do you think hes good value there? Do you think hes better than Klay Thompson?
Im not on Klay's d*ck at all. Ive mentioned a couple times I could see us picking him. Thats it. It makes too much sense as far as fit go. I dont attack whoever disagrees like you are doing. Once you get a guy you like you defend him like hes your boy toy. Like I said Klay is climbing the ranks, so yea getting him might definitely be a longshot. The same way getting Jimmer is a longshot. Doesnt mean that if either guy is there when we pick we wouldnt pick them. I think both guys will be gone before we are up.

But please do push me one more time and you can spend your time on the ESPN board. Yeah i can..so try me.

moocow007 wrote:Until further notice, my preference is Marshon Brooks. For this system, for the Knicks need to hit a home run...Brooks just makes the most sense. Sure there are some great shooters in the draft but Brooks can shoot as well. What he can do that the other great shooters can't is create shots for himself AND others. Honestly I think Tim Grover may be onto something here when he said that of all the players that he's every worked with that Brooks reminds him of Kobe Bryant the most...Within minutes of walking into the gym, it was clear that Brooks was playing at a completely different level than I'm used to seeing from college prospects. As I moved over to Grover, I began to grill him.
"Who does he remind you of?" Grover grinned. I was afraid to answer. Grover smiled and said, "There's a little bit of Kobe in him, isn't there?" He had read my mind.
Grover has been working on tweaking his shot mechanics and he's shooting the ball much better. But it's Brooks' ability to put the ball on the floor and get buckets that's notable -- even a little Kobe-esque. His lateral quickness, step-backs and aggressiveness were as impressive as anything I've seen this year.
Off the court, Brooks came off as very focused and intense. He's very serious and confident in a way that could be read as cocky. But he has the respect of everyone in the gym and Grover said he's a very hard worker.

Oh please man. You attacked me telling me "think man. its not really that hard. or maybe it is" "take your head out of your ass junior" "reading in fundamental". Acting like Im stupid and sh*t. You brought up Klay cuz you got all defensive about Marshon, like hes my boy. I can see we've been reaching a boiling point lately. Me and you arent that different. Both stubborn and opinionated. Truth. Sometimes that can get ugly if we dont agree, which we obviously dont on alot of things in this draft. I never had a problem with you before. It is what it is. Its not that serious man. Whatever though.

Not being a smart ass, both are tall guards who excelled in college, who shot very well, and seemed to have other aspects of the game as well, though Almond I guess was regarded as more of a shooter. And both had people question their athleticism a bit and why it wouldn't translate to the NBA. (I thought Almond looked good in SL for Knicks, but it's been a while) .
Just wondering if anyone familiar with both of their games sees Brooks with more ability, because if true, thought SG is #3 on Knick needs, I'd go for it.
