2019-2020 College/Draft thread X [marks the spot] (Knicks own #8 pick, 11/18 DRAFT)

[Fat]

-Hailburton @ 8 if he’s there
-trade back for Kira or Williams
-trade up for wiseman if they truly love him

That’s pretty much where I’m at with it

So if a great organization like the Warriors are so hot for Mitch that they'd give up the goods for him wouldn't you want to... you know what. Never mind.

you'd think that would be the clue not to do it but apparently....

Foolish Warriors ain't know **** about rim runners

[god shammgod]

I stopped believing the hawks guy when he said that Toronto offered Siakam to Atlanta lol

I don't think he said that. I think he said they were offered a all-star for John Collins.

I could see a Ben Simmons for John Collins type offer being accepted if Philly can someone pull off a CP3 trade.

CP3/Collins/Embiid sure fits a lot better than Simmons/Embiid

I’m not on the hawks forum but that’s what Juco said. He said Toronto offered Siakam to Atlanta for more cap space to go after Giannis.

i'm pretty sure if he told them he was leaving, the bucks would rather take siakam themselves in a trade than lose giannis for nothing

I like Udoka but if he’s our Mitch replacement then that’s awful

I mean if people want a dinosaur center there are plenty of options with our 38th pick it's going to be like jurassic park out here

Udoka is like a old school big and he's very dominant in the paint. I just don't know if he'll be able to stay on the court cause of his foot speed and lack of jump shot.

I'm with ya, I really doubt he could be a Mitch replacement cuz he doesn't move that well but he certainly play that Boban role and give you 15-20 mins a night. He'd be an instant fan favorite too. If we draft a guard and wing with our first two picks, I wouldn't be upset if Udoka was picked at 38.

[Deeeez Knicks]

Pass on Udoka. At best hes a backup or part time C? Not really important and we have so many other needs. I think he could be ok, but just not something i would look for with the Knicks when there are a ton of Gs and wings, or even stretch bigs in this draft

[HerSports85]

I’m back to my original plan Nesmith + PG ( Kira or RJH)

[Fat]

udoka azubuike folks givony confirmed sleeper of the draft let's go, get woke for doke

Watch on YouTube

This man has has shot below 50% from the free throw line all 4 years. ALL FOUR YEARS

[stuporman]

They say rim runners are dead in the league now but let's draft Udoka 5head

[Fat]

Read on Twitter

There’s no way he’s gonna be able to shoot off the dribble in the nba

Depends how he is used. Use him like a Malcom brodgon or lonzo ball on offense then he should be fine. He’s more a floor general with range but not really a scorer. He can probably pick his spots and score if the defense is sleeping but I don’t ever see him being “that guy” but I love his fit next to RJ and Mitch and the fact you can move him to the 2 if we were to make a trade for a cp3 or Westbrook

Nobody has really made a case for being worth the 8th pick he probably comes closes unless somebody else falls.

[knickstape21]

The sleeper big in the draft is Diakite. Not sure why he is never mentioned.

Spoiler:

With his frame and physical development, in addition to his skilled outside shooting ability and defense, he will have no problems stepping right in and contributing from day 1.

He also has upside as a playmaker I’m hoping he is there at 27 but I doubt he’s still there.

[Juco24]

Hayes is going to us in a few mocks here lately... can't be mad at it. And if look at the mocks, the top 6 is likely set (Ball, Edwards, Wiseman, Obi, Deni, Okongwu) then there's Okoro. If we select Okoro- I'm predicting a trade

[Zenzibar]

Kinda hope someone really wants Okongwu in the early teens and is willing to trade up for him. I’d much rather be at 12 or 14 right now than we are at 8.

Do you not understand what those words mean or something? Here, let me translate for you, so you’re not confused. If I’m choosing between Vassell and Okoro at 8 or getting an asset plus Kira or RJ Hampton at 12 or 14, I’m trading back.

Why you mad?

[3toheadmelo]

They say rim runners are dead in the league now but let's draft Udoka 5head

What’s 5head?

It's a zoomer stream meme. I guess I've been corrupted by things that don't make sense outside of the community. I guess it originated for when someone was making an intelligent take but it's used more now to mock a take.

Even going to 'know your meme' shows the beginning of it in the very specific use in the community it started but it has taken on a more wide usage in streams and the chats that is different than what it originally was.

It's weird how chat emotes and memes have taken like a Nordic tradition of complex expressions packed into a single word or phrase and often have very nuanced understanding to the communities that use them.

Irony of 3tohead asking about 5head.... OMEGALUL

Unless the wizards really want someone at 8, there is no trading back for kira
