Outside of the dukies id probably go after Romeo and that’s not saying much because he hasn’t even been that impressive but this draft is underwhelming.

Nassir I’m cool with that pick too

Ja Morant I haven’t seen him he looks good on the tube highlights but he doesn’t seem to shoot the ball?

I'm still a fan of RJ. He has some moments where he looks like a gunner but it's hard to ignore his overall skill set. No matter what he's one of the best players in the country and a top NBA prospect in this years class.


I'd take any one of those 3 Duke kids with no complaints. Zion is my fav ofc but the other two are nice consolation prizes.

The realistic me tho is down for Ja. I think that's the most likely range we'll fall in where he isn't a pipe dream.


I don't know if it's a total pipe dream, we're in 5th now, if the knicks don't knick and stay in the bottom 5 it's a realistic enough chance get a top 4

Tremendous athlete. Lost a lot of steam at the end of last season and the summer. I would look at him like Simons from this last draft. Project PG that will probably spend his entire first season in the G League.

For the Knicks, hypothetically if the following three guys were on the table when we pick, who'd be your guy?

* Bol Bol
* Ja Morant
* Kevin Porter Jr.

Ja. I have him over the other two as a prospect by a fair margin. That's a clear BPA call in my opinion. Just get him and ask questions later.

Shouldn't say that about KPJ as I haven't really watched him... but I'm assuming.

Haven't seen Porter Jr. but we have a lot of bodies for two guard.
At a position of need Ja over Bol Bol.

Anybody else like Kira Lewis Jr.? Assists aren't there but reminds me of a smaller SGA.

Scofield was on my radar last draft for the 2nd rounder before he decided to go back and this dude might be playing himself into the 1st round although top 5 might be too high but he a two way beast.

i don’t think bol bol fits well here and I think porter might be a 6th man type player in the pros (not completely sure tho since he hasn’t played much yet cause of injuries)

Ja for now

Bol bol / kp front court in today’s nba seems kinda suspect. but if you don’t care about any of that and just looking for the guy with the best potential bol bol easily would probably be my choice.

Kevin porter before Injury looked like a demon on the court but haven’t seen enough of him yet, I think he’s suppose to maybe return by the 15th I’m not 100 percent sure but I think he”s still having trouble with his quad contusion

Bol Bol Is five years away from being five years away. His strength is border line Elementary school level. You can blow on him in the NBA and move him out of position. You dont take Bol Bol in the top 5. He wont be productive for a min.


The answer is obvious you pick Ja.

Yeah, in that scenario I'm going Ja for sure. Seems almost unanimous that if we fall outside the top 3 or 4 everyone is on board with Ja. Long way to go tho but that seem like the early consensus.
