plays like a combination of fred vanvleet with a little lou williams (his ability to get to the FT line and score).

the big question will his level of competition and skill set translate to when he takes a huge leap to the NBA from the colonial athlete conference.

Yea, some question marks but could be a nice pickup in the late first or second round if he pans out. Haliburton/Grant/RJ could be a fun combo if we came away from the draft with that.

unfortunately I don't think you will be able to hide him on defense. ATL can't hide Trae Young and he is a genious offensive player. Terry would literally need to put up that kind of production to warrant that kind of playing time.

Otherwise he's kinda stuck as an instant offense guy off the bench.

True. I do think he’ll get stronger and I honestly think he looks taller than Trae even though they are listed very similarly. It would be fun to see him with any combo of Frank and RJ. All 3 could handle the ball and not be content sitting along the 3 pt arc. RJ and Frank are solid defensively at least (Frank being very good and RJ was a very pleasant surprise on that end I thought). Then have a rim protector like Mitch. Tyrell would be a liability on defense for sure but he’s incredibly smart and I think will become “more” serviceable on that end. He would do wonders for the spacing on this team

what type of poll before were you thinking when we don't know where we are picking?

Do you want to do one if we had the first pick who would we pick

or

Do you want to do what the NBA draft board does. Just make a big board. List out a bunch of players and rank them and then we can slowly build a Knicks realgm consensus big board?

Let’s do something that isn’t predictable. I am sure everybody will vote for Lamelo if we won the 1st pick.

We can do multiple things. Like one poll could be Hayes vs Haliburton, Cole and Kira.

Another one could be best big man of the draft. Wiseman vs Onyeka and Toppin.

Who should the Knicks pick at #4

Stuff like that.

well lets say we did this "knicks" big board voting. So I would put 5-10 names and say have a "other" write in option and then give 24 hours for people to vote then the player with the highest # of votes go off the big board. And we can have a discussions about it. Like it might be easy early but when you start getting to pick 4-5 and such we probably will have a lot of variety...might be cool to see.

I know the NBA draft board does something similar but we can do this more "knicks centric" big board. I'll give it a shot and see how many people we have.
