That draft really ain't the one. It was top heavy. I ain't crying over missing Malik Rose. This is a new low for the board.

Where some one was picked does not mean we did not miss on the guy.
He was available when we picked.
We didn’t.
We swung 3x
We struck out.
Accept it. The Knicks failed. It’s a common occurrence.
it's a shame they didn't get anyone good in three tries. yes.
but the context of the 1996 draft is really misleading because they weren't in the running for any star players.
not exactly tripping that they missed on JYD and derek fisher. malik rose with the 21st pick. word. sure, buddy. that was a jewel for someone else to discover. getting cut from the hornets (same hornets who gave master p a look) and washing up in san antonio is what made him reach his potential as a serviceable reserve.
your incessant desire to point out the knicks' ineptitude has seen far better examples.
DFish and JYD were good role players on playoff teams. Z was a major miss. But hey, let’s focus on the one guy we can use to make the Knicks look better in this scenario even though that was a miss too.
Your compulsion to make excuses for past Knicks mistakes was predictable.
We swung 3x.
We struck out.

We better be keeping Kanter out for the Dallas game, no reason to rush him back and every reason to keep him out. Really would inexcusable to start him when we just gained ground on Chicago.

Ehh to me he was never that good. Typical 90s Knick forward draftee. Knicks had a knack for picking guys that either were extremely unathletic and/or were very one dimensional. This dude even as a rookie had Charles Smith's knees lmao. Why we talking about him again?
We had 3 first rounders in that legendary 96 draft and we didn’t even find a rotation guy
That draft sort of sucked. Which is why it figures the Knicks had 3 first rounders.
Sorta sucked? That draft was the greatest of all-time. What are you talking about? The thirteenth pick just retired with five championships, it produced multiple MVPs, a DPOY, at one time the leading 3 point shooter of all time, a 2x MVP, a multiple scoring champ and the best sub 6 foot player ever.

Minus big Z
Ok, there were rotation players, most of whom the Knicks wound up with - unfortunately - JYD, Shandon Anderson, Travis Knight, Othello Harrington, Moochie Norris.
It's like the Knicks went and collected all the bums they missed out on.

That draft was top heavy. Nearly all those accomplishments was primarily done with the lotto picks, picks we didnt have.
There isnt a single player drafted after we picked that I would seriously be upset about not picking.
The funny part about this discourse is only one player that was drafted after our picks in the 1st round even played more than 10 seasons, and that was Derek Fisher.

It was possibly the greatest draft, based on how great the top 1/3 was and the number of players who stuck and stuck around for a while, but really, just as the Knicks were ready to pick, it was pretty trashy. They still could have gotten Z and a Barry though.
Knicks always Knicking.
Didn't Malik Rose play 10 years? Not sure. I don't really care either.

If not for Dolan (maybe with Phil's suggestion), we might be a playoff team with Lowry...
Chandler / Bargnani / Aldrich
Stoudemire / Martin / Tyler
Anthony / Hardaway / Clark
JR Smith / Udrih / Murry
Lowry / Felton / Prigioni

He's not terrible at all IMO. He's just a weak/poor defender for the money for most people is what I see. Myself included.

JThey didn’t hit on 3 picks. Doesn’t mean I think the FO at that time was a failure overall. The summer with H20 Childs etc was great. In this scenario, it’s a shame they couldn’t have came away with someone.
I would hold any FO to that standard though. 3 1sts? You have to find at least a rotation guy.

No it didn't. John Wallace could have been good in a system that valued him. Ilgauskas was very good for a long time and would have made as sensible a backup as Wallace did to the front line. Williams would fit with what the Knicks were doing. Derek Fisher was in the old Derek Harper mould and would have fit, too.
The Knicks just had a drafting philosophy of they didn't a schitt about rookies and took whoever was a name from the tournament. They didn't care so they took Wallace (everybody celebrated), McCarty because Kentucky finished high and Dantae because he would get the headline Dantae's Inferno.

I sort of said it didn't in another post before this, which surely you would have read
