Knicks pick
“Keon Johnson
6-5, 185, SG, Fr., Tennessee – He won’t put up huge numbers on a loaded Vols team this season, but there’s so much potential. Johnson is a terrific athlete who can explode with his first step and finish above the rim. He’ll also be a big-time defender in the NBA due to his athleticism, instincts and willingness to guard. Johnson will need to work on his perimeter shot, but that should improve in time.
2020-21 Stats: 8.0 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 2.0 apg
I can see him taking his first year to learn / develop behind Alec before he takes over as the starting 2 in his second season for us. He has a natural instinct on the defensive end and his offense continues to improve through ever game at Tennessee. ”
Dallas Pick
“Cameron Thomas
6-4, 210, SG, Fr., LSU – He can just get buckets.
Thomas is able to put points on the board in a hurry and is most effective getting to the basket with a quick first step. He’ll have to become a more reliable 3-point shooter, but he’s more of a scorer than a shooter.
2020-21 Stats: 24.6 ppg, 35% 3-pointers
Thomas would be an instant scoring plug off the bench for us, even in his first season. The kid can flat out score and could be the lead scoring option for our second unit”
Detroit Pick
“ Terrence Clarke, 6-7, 195, G, Fr., Kentucky – He’s a long and athletic forward who — much like most of his teammates — has struggled early on in his career. Clarke is a streaky 3-point shooter who needs to work on his decision-making and defensive skills.
2020-21 Stats: 10.7 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 23% 3-pointers
Well well well... CAA action has to begin somewhere right? Lol but for real, having a player with his upside would be a blessing to take with our early 2nd round trout pick”
Charlotte Pick
“ Charles Bassey
6-11, 235, PF, Jr., Western Kentucky – Bassey is a big, strong and athletic big man from Nigeria who missed most of his sophomore campaign after suffering a broken tibia. Bassey plays hard, can score in the paint, rebounds at a high level and is a guy who can protect the rim.
2020-21 Stats: 16.3 ppg, 11.1 rpg, 3.2 bpg
He would be a serviceable back up to Mitch. He has expanded his range during his 2nd year in college”
2021-2022 Knicks lineup
IQ/Thomas
Burks/Johnson
Barret / Clarke
Randle/Obi
Robinson/Bassey
That’s a lineup that I can’t see being lottery bound
