The Liberty actually have 5 1st round pick in the top 15 (1, 9, 12, 13 and 15)
But yeah the Liberty is expected to take the one player that is better than everyone else...Sabrina Ionescu of Oregon. She's basically the female version of Luka Doncic with more relative athleticism. She would probably be the best PG if she was on the Knicks.

I'm torn cuz I love March madness but these kids deserve to be paid. If you're a top prospect is makes way more sense to get in with NBA development teams and their trainers then going to college. Hopefully the NCAA will change now that they're not the only game in town.

Still need to see a success story before it becomes a viable option. I'm all for the prospects getting their money, but we haven't seen a story in which makes it a safe path. Hopefully Green makes it to the league and becomes a hit because it is an interesting route to go. It would allow colleges to target players who want to development over the years and could potentially make college basketball more interesting in the long run.

Yeah I'm sure your Zion's and RJ's will go to the G league but someone like Ja will still go to college.

Yeah but it makes me wonder if HS prospects go undrafted, if something like this is still an option. I know once you sign with an agent you lose college eligibility, but if the G-League is offer scholarships along with a salary it's quite interesting.

correct which is why the scholarship to go back is a huge deal. It mitigates all the risk for a high school player leaving college behind.

and he gets a full ride to college down the road when he wants to go back?
damn college bball better stay woke or the d-league is about to poach all the top prospects.

The most underrated player in the draft! His quickness doesn't get brought up enough but this kid gets up the floor in a flash and he's got that jumper looking legit since his freshman year so now staying in front of him is going to be that much tougher.
I'm seriously thinking about trade down scenarios to pick him up somewhere in the late lotto

- First overall pick with a star available.
- Four first round picks in the top 15.

The Knicks (if selecting KH) would be wise imo to move RJ to SF.... I just don't like them paired in the backcourt
That's why I say Halliburton and move RJ to the 3. I also think RJ is working hard on his shot and I hope to see it improved come next season ... whenever that is. Two lefties is an issue. They're so weird, these lefties. RJ isn't even sure if he's lefty or not.

Melo, I'm slow... what does that mean exactly? He can be drafted by a NBA team and sent directly to their G league affiliate?
Instead of going overseas to get paid, he's going to play in the G-League for a year and get paid before he can be drafted/signed. Where we've seen Brandon Jennings, Terrance Ferguson, Emmanual Mudiay are some cautionary tales that we've seen play out already do the overseas route, we haven't really seen many G-League routes, especially not elite standouts.
Isaiah Todd is another name to watch.
