Or has better value to disguise your contempt for Booker.

Only Ingram projects to be that go to #1 scorer. Simmons fits better due to posiiton of need and he'll thrive as a playmaker in a open court run n' gun offense in transition

That is exactly what we need. Booker can be a go to scorer but we need that dynamic playmaker to get it to him. But with our luck will get end up at 4 or 5

Half empty huh?

Eff that. Dude is a hater. We have one player worth watching and he can't give him a complement without an insult.

Positives:
Booker- amazing second half after playing less than 10 minutes in the first. Good shooting night and had a couple of his threes rim out. He needs to get stronger to not get as roughed up on defense.

McRae-amazing first game for a rookie, not even mentioning it was his first day signed with the team and very little practice time. He ran the team better than Knight has this year. Long, energetic, and can shoot. I don't want to blownone game out of proportion but I think he can get a contract from us.

Bad:
Archie-awful shooting, rushed and forced plays, turnovers. Maybe the first game he was really scouted and prepared for? He can and will bounce back but he is not a point guard.

Indifferent-
Everyone else.

Book looks like the best guard coming out of this class hands down. Shoulders of ahead of DLow Bustell and Hezonja. But I agree with 1UPz here although I'm no Archie fan

Learned not to get my hopes up when it comes to the suns. Especially with draft picks lol

Cmon. Porzingis looks like a future HOF player with the way hes playing as a 20 year old rookie.

Booker is probably the best guard so far in the draft class, but in terms of value and future prospects Porzingis is the guy Im taking.

I love me some Booker. I think he has all-star potential, but Porzingis is revolutionizing the big man spot right now.

Thats not hating, its just him putting down the Kaminsky glasses and seeing someone for who he really is.

I like their exquisite choice of vocabulary

As a resident New Yorkian I can pretty confidently say that the Knicks have the best announcers in the league.

Agreed but wanna add that I think Booker needs better stamina as well. His game is naturally very active and I see some of his shots falling short already - seems like he needs a bit to thrive in the 82 game grind. Also I think TJ played great on both ends, although he seemed to decline as the game progressed.

I love me some Booker....see avatar....but c'mon, Porzingis is a monster. Booker might end up the best player in this draft class (I hope so), but more likely it is between KP and KAT, and then Booker and Okafor battling for 3rd. You can't count out other guys either like Hezonja or maybe even Russell. If we offered Booker straight up for Porzingis, if ANY team had Porzingis, it's a flat out no. I have super high confidence that Booker will be a premier player and if he ends up better, I couldn't be happier.

wouldn't trade booker for hexonja right now. would not have believed i would be saying that three months ago

Completely agreed. To me KP is untradeable because of how high his ceiling is. He always had one of the highest ceilings in the draft, even before he played a single minute in the NBA, but the fact that he's proving he can reach that level is exciting to say the least. And also, add Jokic to your list of top prospects. Kid looks like the next Pau Gasol

i like the Suns future depending on how many assets they trade to get rid of markieff or chandler.

Goodwin/booker/tj and Len will all be decent players going into next year.

If Knicks called Suns for Booker - KP swap, Suns say no. If Suns call Knicks for Booker - KP swap, Knicks say no.

Moral of story - both are very good.

McD definitely says yes if he is even a half competent GM worth his salt

Got outplayed by Booker this game.
