Point forward, strong upper body, good finisher, looks pretty long, and a good rebounder. Been comparing him to Lamar Odom for a while now. Hopefully he ends up playing this year, but last I read it's up in the air because of the foot. :-?


Thanks! I'm intrigued by him (from what I've read and highlights)

Very true, we Need a Long athletic wing who can Play on both Ends...

Now Miles Bridges - yes, I'm biased as a Spartans fan, would look great next to KP and Frank. He is Ultra athletic, thick Frame and can score in a variety of ways, Could also work very well with KP in a small lineup and would be killer in Transition. Tremendous kid, as high character as you can get and willing to learn. Unfortunately he will most likely be picked way ahead of us... Mikal Bridges (Nova) is another guy I like for us, Long, lanky prototypical 3 and D Player with some offensive upside.


Agreed, i also like Miles Bridges and Michigan there my favorite team this year and he's one of my favorite players to watch. He fits like a glove in the uptempo system jeff likes to run, can hit the 3 (not really shooting it well so far from 3 this season) i dont really like his shot selection he's got going on right now he's not open on majority of his attempts) but he is capable of knocking them down he proved that last season. And as you said he'd make us alot more atheltic, strong frame and you can slide him to the 4 with KP at the 5 in small ball lineup situations.

Mikal bridges also looks interesting id take him more so in the later end of the lottery or a couple picks after the lottery. He's already 21 and im not to big on his actual upside i feel the knicks should shoot a little higher in talent but it all depends where we end up picking.

Yeah with the focus on Bagley, Carter actually has gone under the radar. He's looked pretty damn impressive tbqh. And Michael Porter's brother, Jontay, also hasn't looked too bad. Both guys have nice NBA size and has shown really good feel for the game.

So tempted by going full YOLO grabbing Sextoy and have crazy 1-2 guard punch between Sextoy Lickinass

Guard rotation set with Frank Sexton THJ with KP manning the middle, Sexton the Archdemon imagine how MSG would be a living hell for opposing teams facing Sexton Frank every night for full 48 mins

Sorry, I missed your post. I didn't even go back a page when I first opened the thread today, otherwise I would have definitely quoted you in response if I had seen your post.

Very intrigued by this kid. Still only 18 years old so there is plenty of room for improvement with him. He still doesn't look physically mature enough for the NBA and is yet to fill out his frame. Will need to add some more muscle over the years, no question. But I do love his skill set and foundation he currently has as a player. Shooting mechanics look excellent, range looks like it's not going to be a problem even by NBA standards because he's already shooting from like 3 feet behind the international 3 point line, great mobility for a guy that is 6'9", solid ball handling and some craftiness to his dribble. He could become a nice player and the potential is there. He also fits a need, we don't really have a tall lanky forward with shooting ability to slot into the 3 spot in order to help open up the floor, so there is definitely a fit and a need for a player like him on the team.

Musa is the most advanced euro prospect after Doncic and its not even close.

He wasn't consistent three point shooter until this year but if this continues he's the real deal.Also curious that 80% of his drives is to the left,and he´s not lefty,i am not sure is that good or bad bad it's interesting.My only concern is that he has kind of a hump on the back and he needs to fix it sooner then later so he wouldn't have problems down the line.

My vote is from Musa. Once he gets stronger I think he could be a really solid player. Fits a need at SF too

Knicks 2nd round pick watch

Currently we have the 33rd and 35th picks :o

If that's the case by the end of the season, we'll be sitting pretty with two very valuable draft picks in the 2nd round

That Clippers pick is a swap, and we don't have rights, so we'll get the worse of their 2nd and our 2nd

So it's the 33rd and 52nd right now, but I expect our pick to be between 8-11, so we'll have two picks in the 30-40 range unless the Clippers somehow become a good team

So nbadraft.net lied to me? Not only do their player evaluations suck, now they can't even get the pick orders correct :nonono:

I miss DX

Any reliable draft sites out there?
