NY Knicks 2020 Draft Big Board #16 Pick - 24 Hours to VOTE

[mpharris36]

The game is simple. There will always be a list of players you can vote on plus one write in option called "other" if you feel the BPA for the knicks isn't able to be voted on. Every day I will tally see who had the most votes and that player will be off the board. Then we will go down #2 and #3 pick ect.....Once someone comes off the list and they win I will add another player to the list (maybe based on write-in options)

You can comment below on why your voting for the above player you selected. Lets also try to keep this Knicks related since a general big board probably doesn't make sense. This game is if you are the knicks GM what would your big board consist of.

NY Knicks Consensus Big Board:

#1 - LaMelo Ball
#2 - Anthony Edwards
#3 - James Wiseman
#4 - Killian Hayes

Bey - a rotation player for 10 years plus. or a good trade chip for something we need down the line.

Bey is one of the best shooters in the draft. 98th percentile spotting up last season; can shoot on the move, coming off screens, off the dribble; and he's a solid defender

he's also a high motor player, high IQ player; like most Nova players he plays within the system, you dont see him freelancing and dribbling too much/he makes quick decisions.

Bey is the prototypical 3-D player. and he comes from a great program like Villanova. Look at the recent players they've produced (not stars, but many useful role players):
Mikal Bridges, Jalen Brunson, White Donte, Josh Hart, Eric Paschall

Ok - let me post this on Maledon again. Theo talking with Mike Schmitz and breaking down some good and some bad things.

There are ones on Maxey and Precious Achiuwa on the same channel*. (Maybe more* - still finding them.)

* Eehhh. I'm not sure its the same channel. Here's the youtube code for Achiuwa: HHENlLb4fvo

** Meh. I'm only seeing Nico Mannion and then most of the people between #1 and #15 on this big board. I can't see, eg, Terry or Williams.

ESPN scouting report for Maledon:

Pre-Draft Analysis
Strengths
- Excellent size for a point guard at 6-foot-5. Has a good frame and a long wingspan, which will allow him to defend point guards, shooting guards and potentially even small forwards.
- Career 36% 3-point and 79% free throw shooter. Has clean, compact shooting mechanics. Capable both with his feet set and off the dribble, even if he's been inconsistent at times.
- Efficient player who keeps mistakes to a minimum and plays with impressive poise. Arguably the most experienced player in the draft in terms of the minutes he's received against quality competition. Draws rave reviews for his work ethic and approach to the game.

Improvement areas
- Didn't play a huge role for ASVEL as one of three point guards on the roster. Started some games, but only averaged 17 MPG. Often operates alongside a lead guard in more of a spot-up role. Wasn't too efficient this season, posting a high turnover rate and average shooting percentages.
- Lacks a level of aggressiveness. Just an average athlete in terms of pure speed and shiftiness. Looks too focused at times on minimizing mistakes. Will likely be best suited operating alongside a scoring guard who can shoulder the bulk of the shot-creation responsibilities, at least early in his career.
- Career 48% 2-point shooter, partially due to lack of strength but also because of his lack of explosiveness and methodical style of play. Relies heavily on craft and touch shots. Gets caught up on screens and struggles with the physicality of handling switches.

sounds eerily similar to Frank

That's a great thing if true - especially with Thibs, Kenny or Kidd as HC

I'm a Frank fan, but we dont need another of him. We need a scoring threat/3PT shooter. the only thing keeping Frank in the rotation is his defense and he's already 3 seasons in, so he's still a project

Basically how I see it as well. You wont find someone who is a bigger supporter of Frank then me but don't another one of him.

Tyrell Terry and frankly it isn’t really even close IMO. Lights out shooter at PG who doesn’t need the ball in his hands all the time to be effective.

[3toheadmelo]

If Sexton didn’t have a jumper he would be Tyrese Maxey.
Theo is just a little bit more talented than frank.
Patrick Williams is Jeff green
Tyrell Terry is Seth Curry
Bey has a limited upside.

Precious >>>>

Precious has a lot of question marks. His upside is intriguing, but that's if he becomes a reliable shooter, which isn't a sure thing; he shoots under 60% from the FT line. Also he can handle the ball, but he doesn't create for others. if his shot doesn't develop he'll be relegated to being a small-ball C

I'd rather go with Bey, he's a more sure thing IMO. + we need shooting bad

I’m buying the shot. I like his form. If he develops his shot, I think his potential is Siakam lite.

I like Bey and he reminds me of Wes Matthews, but I rather roll the dice on Precious

[Deeeez Knicks]

I love Bey, but have to go Maxey. Too good to pass up at this point

[B8RcDeMktfxC]

If you are, supposedly, a Frank fan you should certainly want a team with three (3) "Frank"s on the roster.

Knicks fan should be overjoyed with Frank, Theo and Killian on the squad.
