I would expect him to be the pick.


I just hope he’s the pick at 38. Defense is important but Thibs unless they’re a center, he doesn’t really like one way defenders either. They’ve done a good job developing all the other kids they’ve picked, so I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt but idk how Dunn will ever be a shooter.

Kinda reminds me of a wing version of precious tbh. A offense of a 5 that can really guard 1-5 on defense. The guy averaged like 5 shots a game and he was the most athletic guy on the floor every game. So he really couldn’t even get shots off in college. Maybe if he was a good rebounder or passer there’d be some sort of an offensive role for him but I don’t see it.

Ryan Dunn has intangibles that contribute to winning... but how can we play Josh Hart and Ryan Dunn at the same time? Dunn's an athletic finisher yet shot 50% on free-throws. He's a special defender but a lot of his profile reads like a future euro-league journeyman.

Mock trade scenario

Knicks trade 24,25, and 38
Raptors trade 19 and 31

Knicks do it to move up, Raptors do it to get another 1st rounder


Knicks draft Dunn at #19 and one of either Newton or Scheierman at #31

Four more players have received green room invites for the 2024 NBA draft. Dayton’s DaRon Holmes II, Indiana’s Kel’el Ware, Colorado’s Tristan Da Silva and Pittsburgh’s Carlton Carrington have all accepted invitations to attend the draft in person, according to ESPN’s Jonathan Givony (all Twitter links here).

Holmes, the A-10 Player of the Year, averaged 20.4 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 2.1 blocks per game last season while shooting 54.4% from the field and 38.6% from three. He’s listed at No. 39 on ESPN’s big board and is the lowest-ranked prospect on that list to be invited.

Ware (No. 24 on ESPN’s list) averaged 15.9 points and 9.9 rebounds this season in 30 games with Indiana after transferring from Oregon. Da Silva (No. 17 on ESPN) is a toolsy forward who spent all four seasons of his college career at Colorado. He averaged 16.0 PPG this season while making 39.5% of his 4.8 three-point attempts per game. Carrington (No. 19) made the ACC’s All-Freshman Team this season after averaging 13.8 PPG and 4.1 APG, establishing himself as a premier pull-up mid-range shooter.

Yeah only the knicks would move up because it’ll save them some money and they don’t want 2 first rounders.

They could also maybe trade with the Wizards at #20. They are in the beginning of a full rebuild too and just need bodies at this point.

How accurate do people think these mocks are?

. . . I can't wait. I think I posted it was June 23rd a while back, obviously it's June 26th. Google can be unreliable and pull up the date from the wrong year and I didn't check. Had it in my head that it was June 23. . . . 6 more days.

I wish it was today. Tired of waiting. Could be a frustrating off-season or could be a great one. So many ways this could play out, but we have the best core we've had in a long time, and 2 free agents we want to keep, but even without them, still a good core 3 picks, and if we do lose OG - some cap space. Though I no longer understand the cap system. It's gotten so complicated.

It's not a bad trade, but Leon has a history of trading down to add picks, not trading up and spending them. . . . but time will tell.

Agreed, but they been very open with their pursuit of Dunn. I don't know if he falls to them unless they move up.

I highly doubt he is picked before then. Dunn is a bum on offense and these types of players are not in high demand any more. The odds is that he will be there.

Most Scouts know that he will prob never progress on offense

as Prolfic as he was on defense he was not even invited to the green room.

That says alot.

Knicks are bidding against themselves like they always do.
