Collier had a down year at USC and is a bit chunky for a PG so giving me Trevor Keels vibes. And Shannon only last year stand out in college.

Why? Thibs would never give him backup minutes. He wants a veteran backup if they move Robinson.

Larry Nance Jr sucks though as part of that trade to move up.

Were definitely keeping the 38th pick just based on all the work outs we've had

Jeremy Cohen did a nice breakdown on the options for the draft and had a nice little breakdown of things the Knicks like. Usually it's guys that can hit pull up jumpers and have a college obpm over 6 and several of the guys that are mocked in the 20's are there as we'll as several of the guys we worked out. DaRon Holmes, Tyler Kolek, Terrance Shannon, Ajay Mitchell, and Baylor Scheierman.

ESPN now has us taking him. would be a great upside pick if he fell to us

It's not clear which team will be making this pick, as the Knicks will likely have trade opportunities with both the No. 24 and No. 25 picks and could be attracted to the idea of stockpiling future assets to maintain maximum flexibility heading into free agency.

Collier has perhaps the widest draft range of any prospect, starting at around No. 11 with Chicago and extending to the end of the first round. Teams such as Miami, Toronto, Cleveland and New Orleans are taking deep looks. But if no team bites, it's possible Collier slides to this part of the draft or even to Washington or Minnesota at Nos. 26 and 27, which would have been a shocking prediction prior to USC's season when he was considered among the draft's top prospects.

Few prospects share the size, strength, shot-creation prowess, scoring instincts and star power Collier boasts, but he'll have to find the right team willing to live through the growing pains that come with empowering him with significant ballhandling responsibility after his uneven freshman campaign. -- Givony
