2019-2020 College/Draft thread 15 (Knicks own #8 pick, 11/18 DRAFT)

[Zenzibar]

I’ve attended the draft maybe ten times. The memory that stands out #1 by far is the McDyess-Nene trade, and my nervous system is prepared for similar shenanigans today from our Leon Thibs “win now” Knicks.

After thinking about that statement of "win now", it may mean that Thibs wants a draft pick who's ready to play right away. This leads me to believe that a Obi, who can come in with say Kenny Wooten off the bench and not miss a beat.

Can't see a Kira or Killian Hayes fitting that profile. Tyrese is a little more mature, but Okoro's aggressive style will keep him on the bench for spells until he earns the refs respect.

Vassell is another intriguing prospect in that he can shoot and provide defense.


It can also mean that the Knicks are going to throw money at someone like Jerami Grant or similar.

[robillionaire]

Every Lamelo pick he just looks like such an airhead

Agree. And I want the Knicks to take him.

But he seems like a total Mimbo.

It’s Himbo I think

[Juco24]

Does that get us up to 2?

Hmmmm

Mitch or Dallas 2021?

I'd think they'd want a player

Charlotte wants Okongwu

[god shammgod]

in all seriousness, you can't trade mitch, 8 & now 23 for anyone unless you know they're gonna become an all-star for sure. otherwise it's a disaster that sinks your presidency before it starts. and there's nobody in this draft you can be sure of. at all.

[YungKnicks]

Come home LaMelo.

Home???? He's not even from NY... smh you all need to stop

[thebuzzardman]

I’ve been telling yalllllllll!!!!!!

Lamelo Ball folks Lamelo ball!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to agree, but I've read this script about 20 times, between drafts and FA.

We get all hyped for a player, post a zillion times about it, and then....nope.

[3toheadmelo]

DX said that if we trade up we gonna have to include Mitch and league executives expect us to take Wiseman

what happens to a dream deferred...does wiseman's defense stink like rotten meat ?

[Infinitimind]

package #23 and Knox to move up further (maybe take on a little salary if needed)

Can stop including knox in every trade as a throw in

[Zenzibar]

The New York Knicks have moved up from No. 27, trading that pick and No. 38 to the Utah Jazz for No. 23.

The Knicks also own pick No. 8. By moving up four spots to No. 23, the Knicks may improve their chances of packaging that pick and No. 8 to move up higher in the draft.

The Jazz will also send the draft rights to Ante Tomic, who was a second round pick in 2008. Tomic is 33 and not expected to join the NBA.

I'd do #8 for Culver + #17. Could get two studs at 17 + 23 still.

We will draft lamelo and you will like it so much that when you go around the table on thanksgiving saying what you’re thankful for this year a single tear will stream down your face and you will look up at your family and say “lamelo ball folks”

Hard pass on culver

[Juco24]

Makes sense if Okongwu is healthy and available 8+23=3
