2019-2020 College/Draft thread X [marks the spot] (Knicks own #8 pick, 11/18 DRAFT)

[Reign23]

I'm just staying at 8 and pick the BPA who can shoot.
Vassell / Nesmith / Terry
Assuming the top 7 are Ball, Edwards, Wiseman, Hayes, Toppin, Haliburton, Avdija in some order. I have no interest in Okongwu and Okoro.

[damedash09]

I wish I could bet in Vegas on who has a better NBA career ..Edwards or Okoro..This is a no brainer and I’d get great odds..

I always root for the Knicks to finally improve, because there’s nothing like watching winning basketball at the Garden..Maybe Okoro Will slip to you guys

That's what I and quite a few other Knick fans are hoping. I see him being one of the better players form this draft. If his shot comes around he's a perennial all star imo

... and if it doesn't?

[3toheadmelo]

...so a pretty damn good player?

A phased out player in 2020

man, Mitch can defend the perimeter and the other 2 can not. that is the difference.

On offense though they’re the same players. Honestly I’m getting tired of this convo now. So whatever. I’m rooting for him either way

I really didn't know what thread to put this in and didn't want to start a thread about it cause not sure enough people on here care but wondering if any of you saw the documentary they did on HBO about Craig Carton from the Boomer and Carton show and how everything fell apart for him with his gambling addiction? Like i said it was on HBO and the name of it was--Wild Card: The Downfall of a Radio Loudmouth.

I thought it was pretty good and pretty crazy some of the things he was doing. I was a big fan of the Boomer and Carton show. I think he'll be given a shot by another station somewhere at some point cause he's just too good at being a radio shock jock.

Mitch and both Dallas picks probably could get it done.

KP just got surgery on his knee. Dallas might miss the playoffs next year if his health problems persist, meaning the pick could fall in the lottery. With next year's draft being stacked and this year's draft being weak af, I think it would be incredibly shortsighted to trade next year's Dallas unprotected pick AND Mitch for a player who shot 37% in the Australian league and probably wouldn't be a top 5 pick in a good draft.

We have to give to get, so one of those 21 firsts would have to go and I’d rather trade the Dallas pick. Luka alone will make Dallas a top 4 seed at minimum with or without porzingis so don’t delude yourself into thinking otherwise.

Lamelo is worth it and hopefully leon/www think so too.

Luka won't have to be just the Luka show if KP isn't healthy cause as i've been saying, i think Dallas is gonna make a move for another start type player this offseason to go with Luka and KP. When you already have two great players like KP and Luka that's when you do whatever you have to do to get that 3rd player whether it means a big trade or in free agency. Players will want to go to Dallas to play with those two and it's a desirable place to play just cause players like to live in the warm weather places. They should add a legit SF to that team.

With what? Unless they get lucky in the draft, they're pretty much stuck with the team they have till next year at least

I think everybody else is getting tired too. we should talk about players we can actually get and need.

We can get Wiseman though if we trade up with Golden state. But sure, we can talk about other players at #8 or our other picks. I am still on the Hayes/Kira train for #8.

Knicks will not draft wiseman. If we trade down itll be for a pg

Knicks should cause he has the highest ceiling in the whole draft and the least flaws.

I think you mean trade up though.

Mods need to sticky a Wiseman thread

[2010]

That's what I and quite a few other Knick fans are hoping. I see him being one of the better players form this draft. If his shot comes around he's a perennial all star imo

... and if it doesn't?

Only Shumpert couldn't make a layup and became more preoccupied with his hair, rapping, fashion, and reality tv than actually working on his game. The difference between the development between a player like Shump and a player like Jimmy Butler is work ethic and dedication.

Okoro can make a layup and is one of the most efficient finishers in the draft. That combined with his work ethic tells me his floor is higher than Shumpert.

Okoro's floor is probably OG Anunoby's first couple of years before he became an efficient 3pt shooter this season.

Hmmm... I really don’t see the Pistons having the assets to move up in the draft unless they are reckless enough to include an unprotected 2021 first round pick.

If there is a team with a young core less talented than we are it is them.

A phased out player in 2020

lol, Rudy Gobert is not phased out

DeAndre is just older, and not good defensively anymore; he's a different story

Rudy is (not phased) out... should be a victory

[HerSports85]

Wanted you guys opinion. I was talking to my cousin who’s a sixers fan and he says that they have to find away to get rid of Horford or Harris

So my question, will you be willing to take on Horford or Harris salary if they give us their 2021 FRP
