Countdown to NBA Draft: Prospect Talk

[Lord Commander]

Five hours, bitches...five hours.

[F N 11]

Guys, I am looking at old draft results and damn!!! The draft is hit and miss. You better take the sure thing. Throwing up in my mouth seeing guys like Bargani, Emeka Okafor, Thabeet, Greg Oden, and Darko being drafted so high smh. This pick can really shake up the team, for good or bad. Im hoping for the good. the Draft is scary.

[Greenie]

I want Towns. I just don't think we got the juice. He could have worn #21 and been our very own Timmy Duncan.

[2010]

Not much time now!!!! This is usually at half time of the game right?> I guess I will go google it.

Confirmed - before game 1. For some reason I thought they did it at half?

I thought it was at halftime too. They gonna see a ratings drop the minute the game comes on.

I'm calling it now just like I said to my friends in 2008 when we took Gallinari, if we draft Porzingis he's never going to be an elite player and we'll end up trading him and future draft picks to get an elite player at his position. As is par for the Knicks recent team history, the crowd of Knicks fans who grew up with Ewing will know this pick will fail, while the high school/college aged fans who never witnessed the 1990s playoff runs will make this Porzingis chap their favorite player because they don't to believe he can suck. He will then prove every pessimist correct, while still giving small rays of hope to his fans that he "can be better." After 2 1/2-5 years of watching the player be nothing better than JAG at best, Knicks management will trade him for a disheartened Jhalil Okafor who wants out of his contract with [insert black hole small market team here] and the fanbase will be split. Okafor will show above average to elite play in most areas, but the Porzingis crowd will latch on to one or two less useful advanced metrics that suggest Porzingis is better despite the eye test and most other stats. For the next 5 years the Porzingis fans will troll Okafor as the team still doesn't play at championship level.

Please God save us all from this, do not let my Knicks draft Porzingis.

In this fever dream, do you have us drafting Porzingis over Okafor? Or anybody in the top 4?

In my nightmare scenario we'll draft Porzingis ahead of guys like Winslow, Russell, Mudiay, Hezonja, Johnson, and WCS.

[2010]

Bruh you're doing too much now.

Well that's more than OK4 has ever done defensively.

Oh sh*t. 2010, why do you have to come out throwing haymakers at Okafor on a fine Tuesday afternoon bro?

Haha, I just call it as I see it bro. And I'm not hatin...I'm just not lovin

[El Poochio]

#1 pick who you think phil takes?

I'm saying Willie Caulie..jk

okafor.

He's clearly taking Towns if 1.

I can see him taking Okafor too. But if i bet on it, I will go with KAT of the Canals

[F N 11]

I want Towns. I just don't think we got the juice. He could have worn #21 and been our very own Timmy Duncan.

He said in the interview he doesnt want to be compared to anyone. He wants to be Karl Anthony Towns when its all said and done.

Eh, I wouldn't regret passing on a few of those guys, Porzingis or not

LETS **** GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gallo was really loved by the NYK community...not sure if Porzingis can reached that fandom with the NY crowd, not sure if he has Gallo's personality.

Was it his personality? The fact he was our first draft pick sans Isiah Thomas? The fact he had a Pringles connection (b/c Pringles was above criticism by many Knicks fans back then)?

[NYKnicksTAPE]

LETS **** GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's all that really needs to be said...along with no Kaminsky and no WCS. They better not even have a chance to put on a Knicks uniform

[Greenie]

I want Towns. I just don't think we got the juice. He could have worn #21 and been our very own Timmy Duncan.

He said in the interview he doesnt want to be compared to anyone. He wants to be Karl Anthony Towns when its all said and done.

I don't really care what he wants...

Well Damn.....

[NYKnicksTAPE]

I hope y'all made the proper arrangements with whatever deity you associate with. It's almost time...this isn't a game anymore. I'll put it like this...I sat down and watched over 60 losses this year, and I didn't intentionally bring this suffering on myself to not end up with a top 3 pick. It's game time now baby

It's that time of the month again? geez

[F N 11]

Im concerned that Towns has only showed me a so so post game in college. I really have not seen much of his other scoring plays.

[Marcus]

hope you guys find a way to grab a pick in 2016. I'm gonna miss you guys this time next year.

Mudiay and Hezonja are the mystery men but at a minimum look like NBA players. I would regret passing on all these guys because they all show me that they have it in them to be impact players even if some still need to develop an aspect or two of their games.

[Greenie]

He's gonna be a Timmy clone and he will love it.
