Man, if this FO turns in anything even remotely meaningful from late 1sts and 2nds (including the 58th pick) in a draft considered one of the weakest we've seen in a generation, we'll know they're playing with the occult. :lol:

If even one of our five incoming young guys turns into a rotation player then that’s a major win. Major.

Precious is better than Jericho, but that’s not saying much. He’s smaller and is a definitive tweener stuck between a 4 and 5. Fans overrate him because he had a few good games when he had to play 40 mpg, but there’s a reason our team sputtered with him starting and only got back on track once Deuce started over him. Nobody has offered him much money yet because he’s bleh.

I assume we dont want to unload all of our remaining assets for Kessler and will just hope somebody else shakes loose later, but we aren’t serious as a team if Precious or god forbid Jericho are playing 20 mpg, if not outright starting once Mitch misses games, and our only backup centers.

Hukporti doesn’t have much competition if he’s any good.


I don't agree.

It's easy to get drunk on picks and it's possible Hukporti won't ever play in the NBA, but given his size, blocks, some little buds of an offensive game, and the aggression with which he appears to play, he seems like an excellent prospect for last pick in the draft, no matter how raw he is.

Well, let's hope he's not. Since he is ineligible for the playoffs, which is all that matters at this point in Knicstory.

I think they feel TK will be Brunson's 10 mpg relief/ our TJM. The French kid is likely Leon's Bruno Cabolco. The sleeper might be the Kansas kid if he stays healthy. Roko will enjoy his vacation in Las Vegas. And who knows what will happen if they unleash the HUKPORTI!

If they convert his two-way into a standard contract during the season, then he’ll be eligible.

ok, that's good to know that they can do that.
I mean, I certainly hope he is a find.
