Ware needs to be the guy.

Stretch big that can defend the paint. Yes please.

I like the looks of Mogbo. His athleticism and skills pop just from one look.

Maybe.

#24 Dunn. Other picks traded for future 2nd rounders.
Mitch traded for some washed up vet.

Knicks "run it back". Oh. Maybe they sign that Goga guy.

Now that I already drafted Mogbo. I will speak on him more. I think he can shoot on the low, just dont think he attempted many on SF

now I know this is a workout indoors, but this isnt a guy imply catching and shooting. He been working on his J all offseason. He stated people are sleeping on his shooting. this is a very recent workout.

he is the perfect player for this team. Baby Draymond on the low.

Didn't Mitch have a workout video like this a couple of summers back? 8-)

Dunn, Mogbo, Djurisic

Let’s go

If Mogbo can shoot like that in the NBA he goes from a Draymond type prospect to a Kawai type prospect...not saying he ever gets to that level but his potential ceiling is that high if he fulfills it.

If the Knicks like him that much you don't hope he reaches the second round pick you use him with one of the firsts. Grab one of the lottery talents that slip with one picks and go for the upside guy with the other.

Use the second rounder on a guy who was a first round prospect that slips out of the first day picks. None of the Knicks end of the bench guys are anything special enough you can't displace with high potential rookies.

Mogbo or Dunn?

I've really only taken a cursory look at this draft. Mogbo pops but so did Obi at that level.

I truly believe we'll see a few guys like him jump into the lottery if teams are really impressed. There's NO reason for mock lock this year.

How tall is he really though? I see 6'6" and 6'8" used interchangeably. That's a big difference.

stuporman · Post #913 » by **stuporman** » Tue Jun 25, 2024 7:32 pm

Dunn is the better defender, maybe one of the best defensive prospects in a very long but his offense is going to be a waiting and hoping game. Mogbo might not be as good of a defender but he's got the quickness and strength to be a versatile defender then add his ball handling and offensive skills he's the guy you take the chance with.

Whatever you do buzz don't watch any of his chit or I'm coming to your house and repeatedly slapping you until next season starts.

It is, but so is Kel'El Ware -- any relation to Kal El of the Krypton Knicks?

I'm glad to see the term I coined a very long time ago is finally getting some traction...I can't stand mock lock, it's why bad franchises wind up making bad picks year after year. It even will sneak up on good franchises when they trust the 'bpa' hype.

I def like Djurisic and maybe there's a chance we stash him but something tells me we're going to pick the kid Reeves from UK with 38.

6'8 Would be in shoes.

He was 6'6.25 barefoot.

Avg Shoe is 1.5 inches so he is a shade under 6'8 in shoes.

for what its worth, he is a half inch taller than Draymond Green Barefoot. Roughly and Inch longer Wingspan as well.

4inches on the stand reach over him as well.

So Physically he is more than up for the task to play PF and Small Ball 5
