Can't help feeling everytime Wassserman lauds a player, somewhere a Knick coach is crossing him off our list of potential draftees.

Also I can’t believe Boston didn’t participate in the combine to try and raise his draft stock

Raising a draft stock won’t matter if you have a promise

You don’t think a front office that was willing to trade up for NY born Obi wouldn’t consider trading up for NY Bouknight? Who is way better than Obi? And we have the ammo this time , unlike last draft where we had to draft up the morning of just in case.

Marc Berman folks! Easy clicks. Uconn PG from NYC? Too easy. This article was happening the second Berman got any Knick employee to say the word Bouknight.

Kinda reminds me of when Donnie Walsh zeroed in on Steph Curry and let the whole world know. Or when the NY Giants kindly let Philly know they were zeroed in on Davonte Smith. maybe they should keep their zeroing in to themselves.

it’s a smokescreen right? :lol:

I remember we all thought Knicks wanting to draft Obi badly was a smokescreen…

IQ-esque. Blink and it's hard to tell them apart.

Knicks might need to package their picks to move up for Bouknight. Obviously that would require a team looking to move down and it always takes two to tango. Interesting to see if they can get a deal done to do so this year.

Yeah both seem have that same irrational youthful confidence....

Gotta worry (1)another team doesn’t steal Bouk from us. (2) a team like Orlando wants to stay put because I think Bouk goes top 10.

I think Leon will go all in on Bouk 100%, I feel confident about it.

Really like Bouknight and Hyland as well!

Also like the potential of Trey Murphy to be a Deandre Hunter-esque type player.

To be clear, Berman is using the term "zero in" based on absolutely nothing but an interview. If that's the definition, then the Knicks will be "zeroing in" on a dozen+ players before the draft.

Berman was just "zeroing in" on easy clicks.

Who do you guys want the most assuming all of these players are within our range
