But apparently Knox had more impressive workouts in the 3 on 3 than Mikal had against air and chairs in his solo

Look at Mikhals numbers as a frosh or even soph and compare them to Knox. No contest. You draft for who they will become not who they are as an 18 year old freshman. Knox is already fairly close to Mikhal but 3.5 years younger .

Yeah, I don't get peoples logic. Outside of late bloomers, you got to go with the higher upside guy in most cases.
Luckily we don't make the decisions. I will trust management here. They are new and if they blow this one...

No one knows anything. I think that's the fairest way to put it.

If there is a deal to move up to get Doncic without giving up KP/Frank, we should do it. I am fine with taking on bad contracts.

is that troy williams? Frank and Dot both look bigger than Troy.

Dotson defiantly looks taller, Frank looks a tad bit shorter. ( They both look stronger than anybody else in the pic.)

Compare Mikal at 18 to Knox at 18. Huge advantage for Knox. Not saying he's the pick, or that I want him, but you wanting Mikal over Knox shows you would take a guy who at 21 is a far better player than at 18. That is one reason we would take Knox. He's pretty good now and they might project he is better than Mikal at the same age of 21.

Bingo. And his workouts show he is already improving.

This idea that Mikal can't improve or is at his ceiling is not accurate. Players continue to get better in there 20's

These players didn't avg 20+ until the following age:
Kawhi - 24
PG - 23
Jimmy Butler - 25
CJ McCollum - 24
Oladipo - 25
Kemba - 25
Lowry - 29
Derozan - 24
Middleton - 26

Just players i could think of so I am sure theres a lot more. If you follow the Mikal trending curve it was still going up. Maybe he is not at his peak and will continue. He has a lot of the tools and signs I would look for. Maybe, or maybe not. I just wouldn't def cap his ceiling.

Even if we don't draft a 3 I think all of them can hold down that position together. maybe that explains our interest in other positions. this gives us flexibility to just draft the bpa.

OT:Mo Bamba Could Slide On Draft Night
League sources said recently that Bamba is in the mix at two to the Kings, four to Grizzlies, five to Mavericks, six to the Magic and seven to the Bulls. The problem is he doesn’t seem to be the first or second option to any of those teams at this point.
According to league sources there continues to be questions about how his offensive game fits into the modern NBA, and with more versatile guys sitting at the top of the draft, Bamba is looking more like the consolation prize later in the draft. You will be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn’t think Bamba will be a monster defensively in the NBA, but the question remains which team is drafting defense at the top of the board?

If there is a player outside of the top five that could tumble a little, it might be Bamba, especially if the Mavericks pass at five.

I'm still going to for sure. It's just annoying, that's all. It's happened with other players as well.

good to see Trey Burke not taking his performance in the last two months of the season as reassurance that he'll make the team.

Love to see the fire, esp from him.

Now imagine if he could convince Timmy to run with the rooks.....

Remember a week ago when it seemed like the Knicks weren't leaking their intentions to everyone like they always use to.... ah yes, good times.

The Knicks haven't leaked anything. Knox's dad did.

And we don't even know if that's their intention.

OT:Are The Magic Leaning Towards Sexton Over Young?
The Orlando Magic seems to be dialing in on what’s there for them at six, assuming they don’t trade up, which they have explored with both Atlanta and Memphis. The prevailing thought among fans is that if Trae Young is there at six, the Magic will pounce. However, that doesn’t seem to want coming out of Orlando.

Early on in the process, the Magic seemed to be seriously interested in Collin Sexton, and word is that be might the Magic’s guy at six. The Magic ultimately will catch what falls to them, and if Dončić, Bagley or Jackson are there, things get interesting for the Magic. However, if the draft goes as scripted, Orlando seems more likely to go, Sexton, Bamba, Carter or Knox than Young – at least at this point.
The Magic desperately covet an impact player, so don’t be surprised if the Magic pull the trigger on a move-up deal, especially as we get closer and closer to the moment of truth.
