While I acknowledge that Kemba Walker doesn't really fill a need for us, especially if you're in the we're-getting-Chris-Paul camp, it'd still be great if the Knicks were to draft him because he'd be a great home-grown talent to root for.

Worst final four I've ever seen by a wide margin. Simply unwatchable basketball.

man, they should have an investigation into whether those hoops were too tight. After a while it got to the point where I didn't even expect shots to go in.

Congrats to UCONN, but damn this was not a good representation of college basketball.

If by some miracle and Walker drops down to where the Knicks pick (and assuming, since miracles would be happening someone else drops as well) I think it's a no brainer to take Walker...fit or not. But the chances are not good at all that Walker (fresh off of dominating the tournament and leading the Huskies to a national title) will be still on the board.

Word is Josh Shelby is entering draft and hiring an agent (via hoops hype article).

I know he had a suck-ass year at Kansas but he was supposed to be a stud PG coming into the year.

I know he's a big time NBA athlete but didn't see enough of him to know if he has potential down the road as a pure point or he's just another small-shooting guard.

Selby has looked awful all year. If he can't cut it in college, why would he in the pros? Stupid move for him to come out.

In fairness to him, he was injured for the 2nd half of the season and in the first, the team focused their offense around the Morris twins and they demanded ball movement (no sticky hands) - so that's why he didn't live up to expectations. He's not really a point guard though...more of a scoring guard.

My part 2 thread failed lol.

Selby can't finish, cant shoot, and isa 6'1 athletic shooting guard. Not a great combo.

They have to lock this one up after 100. Yours will be active soon.
