2019-2020 College/Draft thread (Part 6) -LOTTO 8/20 DRAFT 10/16!

Let's just hope the Knicks FINALLY get some lovin from the basketball goes and end up with a top 2 pick. That way they are guaranteed to get one of the 2 guys that can most move the needle for them as a potential franchise guy.

Imagine what Thibs will do with Devin?

Most of the highlights I’ve watched his off the dribble game consists of attacking close outs. There’s not a lot of wiggle in his handle, it’s mostly straight line drives. That just screams 3&D to me, at least off the bat. Since he’s got a nice pull up game, I wouldn’t be shocked to see him develop into something more. It’s why I really like the Middleton comp. I don’t really see jump out the gym athleticism either. He’s an NBA athlete for sure but he doesn’t get to the rim a lot in the half court. I like him but don’t love him, I certainly wouldn’t complain if we drafted him at 8 but at 6? I think there would be someone better there.

If this trade was on the table with the Spurs would you trade back for White and the 11th pick?

by hoping for the best?

setting ourselves up for failure would be EXPECTING the best. we all hope that we move up in the lottery (I dont think any fan hopes we move down)

my use of the pray emoji is because the reality is we only have ~18% chance at top 2

so yeah this is NOT how Knick fans set themselves up for failure....

Honestly idk man.

They are 1a-1b for me.

Deep down I think Edwards is the most talented player in the draft but lamelo just has that it factor man.

yup, my thoughts exactly, no way we end up w/ a top 3 pick. Dolan doesn't have that kinda luck

Getting someone like Derrick White and then Vassell with the trade back pick

Not that it still can’t be rigged but they need to show to everyone the actual lottery process instead of just opening the envelopes.

i've made up my mind, if we win it was legitimate and if we don't win it's rigged

The NY Rangers sure are getting plenty of love from the Hockey gods after winning the #1 pick in the NHL draft tonight after getting the #2 pick in last years draft to end up with Kaapo Kakko.

It definitely seems like a no brainer to me to do this trade. Add a guard and some shooting we’d desperately need. White doesn’t need to be on ball all the time either, giving a chance for Rj to create. Not really sure why the spurs would want to do this though.

Deni is a reach to fall. But Vassell has better game than all others you mentioned. As a matter the only player on your list with elite skills is Toppin.

Not one of your aforementioned guards can hit the 3 like Devin nor defend and not even close. Am I wrong?

Does that mean the Knicks are guaranteed a top 5 pick?

you wish, but no. Knicks are guaranteed a top 10 pick

What is based off last years record though?
