The biggest appeal is his mind

He’s only been playing ball a short time and he improved so much already. He’s a student of many things. Chess apparently. He really loves embids game and wants to add post up moves

I think this kid might be the best in the draft in a couple years. Though there is a lot of upside competition out there


Imagine Bamba, KP and Frank on the court at the same time. No passing lanes. :lol: Bamba makes everyone a better defensive player. The old Knicks had Willis manning the paint which allowed the others to be able to gamble. I've heard Clyde mention that before.

Love Luka, ok with SGA, don't like Young, like Saxton

Does anyone think it's a good idea to get up at 1am, watch the whole thing, then drive straight to work in a one hour commute?

He has a hunch. That's been overblown imo.

He's an incredibly intriguing talent. As a freshman, he put up 12 ppg, 10 rpg, and 4 bpg. He's got an 8 foot wingspan and he's been working on his shot as well:

Read on Twitter


He didn't have a great 3 point shooting percentage (27%) in college, but the potential is there.He's also faster than almost any player in this draft, guards included. We'd have two unicorns.

It's only one video, but look how high he got for this dunk: https://www.foxsports.com/college-basketball/video/1110239299513 -- His hand was at the top of the backboard. He's a freak.

And as an added bonus, just imagine this song blasting from the garden's speakers after he has a big play:

Or just crash after pick 36. I can never do the whole second round.

We throw the term talent so loosely nowadays. He's a freak of nature....but his basketball skills are rudimentary at best.

Do you like coffee? Either way, yes

Also, you see my Doncic report? Video + written. FO personnel that have seen have given really positive reviews.
