Draft Thread #16 - UPDATE pg 75ish - Knicks inquiring about trade ups

[IllmaticHandler]

Does anybody actually think Doncic is falling past the Kings? I don't believe the rumors of him falling for a sec.

Luka Doncic is projected to go No. 4 in the latest ESPN Mock Draft. Jonathan Givony was asked about whether that projection will hold up.

"That's how it looks right now, unless somebody trades up," said Jonathan Givony on the Lowe Post Podcast. "Unless one of these really good playoff teams decides (to trade up). "I think the good teams love him. The bad teams hate him. That's what I'm getting so for."

Doncic is as low as No. 8 on some teams boards.

Take for what its worth but a writer from Dallas News said this today....

I see the rumors, but I don't trust them. Luka falling would be dumb as **** for the Kings and the Hawks.

well thats just an opinion. GMs does not have to be high on Doncic like Knicks fans think he is cant miss.

Everyone does not Rank Doncic as a top 3 player for all accounts.

Kings may want a fast break athletic team. Fox and Bagley provides that. They already have Bogdonavich. May not want to have another non athletic player.

What happened to the rumors about Luka playing hard ball

[nykinoz]

I want no part of Knox at No.9, its a reach.

From what I've been reading/podcasts Bagley is like the only top prospect that has shown interest in the Kings. Alot of other guys aren't even giving the Kings their medicals. I'm not even sure others have even worked out and did the interview and all that stuff for them. So the speculation does seem to have some sort of grounds.

Trae/Lonnie/Trade up for Don ciccio.

Hey guys, I haven't posted in a while but Im on RealGM everyday reading this forum. Just want to chime in on my thoughts for the draft. This is obviously a deep draft which is good since we pick at 9. My gut tells me Mikal Bridges will be more than just a 3&D role player. Maybe not a perennial All Star, but a 20ppg scorer with elite Defense. All I know is that whoever we draft will be known for their defensive play. I think Mills, Perry, and Fizdale all want that. They will be drafting BPA, but defense will be a huge component of that. There are 2 players that could throw a monkey wrench into this: Porter and Young. I think both will be off the board anyway.

To me its Mikal or Carter. Im not buying the Knox pick yet. Its too risky for the bust potential. If this kid is vastly improving and is killing every workout, then I'm going to be behind the kid if we pick him. But he has to be proving himself on the defensive end. I just think that if Mikal or Carter are still available, one of them will be our pick. Im REALLY hoping both Young and Sexton are drafted before us. Overall, this is a fun draft to follow, very deep, and somewhat unpredictable. I also would not be opposed to trading down with Clips for the right deal. Should be an exciting night on Thursday!

Mikal wasn't a 20ppg scorer in college. And he was 4 here older than everyone

eh there's always going to be someone, most of those NBA guys seem to like Frank. Just think he's more of a secondary ball handler, which is fair imo. Didn't he used to be at the knicks sbnation? No one likes to **** on their own players more than Knicks fans.

[FemaleDogPlease]

I'm fine with Knox. Prefer Knox to Mikal.

[aq_ua]

Going out on a limb and saying Miles Bridges will have the best career out of all of the small forwards after all is said and done.

just because of age? I'm generally curious.

[WargamesX]

I am feel pretty confident Porter is going 7. He's been around the team watching games, had his workout there and then shut it down..... He wants Chicago, their fans want him, he fits a need. I think they go for it

[knickstape4ever]

So ESPN mock draft special has us taking Knox at 9. Can't believe they have Trae Young fall to 12, at least we passed. I'm not a Knox fan, but Knox>Young

Not mad at that prediction i think he is better than both offensively and can be just as good defensively. i just dont know if he's a PF or SF in the NBA. his body and the way he plays screams power foward but maybe kind of small for the power forward position.

I question if he really does fit a need for Chicago. In today's NBA, Porter is may be more of a stretch 4 than a 3, and they've already got Lauri at the 4

Tho I really want the Bulls to go Porter at 7 b/c it makes Carter falling to 9 more likely

I don't know about that. They both block shots at the same rate. .

He’s underrated creating off the dribble.
