The move I read about him, pod casters and draft writers are wowed by him.

Mogbo or Dunn?


:dontknow:

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


But mannn, Walt Perrin has been tremendous at drafting late and it'll be fun to see who they are projecting to be the next late 1st round
steal.

Can't wait to see who Walt Perrin tags as the next late round steal. While Dunn may slip to the 2nd round this Mogbo looks risky to let slide by the 24 or 25th pick. He looks phenomenal.

Who will be this year's Cam Whitmore? Who might drop to the early 20s?

The draft always brings back memories to past drafts where we didn’t get a guy we had hope for.

The most insane for me is back in 2013 I had asked who’s the two way F in this draft b/c we had Melo at the 4. This poster on another board showed me grainy footage of a Greek basketball game.

I wonder if that poster is on RGM. What a prediction.

I’m not sure if they will fall to the 20’s but Ron Holland and Collier are two candidates that will likely go much lower than they should IMO. Collier has a better chance of making it to the 20’s though I think

kyle filipowski Is another guy that was mocked in the lottery a lot that’s been sliding down them recently too. Topic might fall too but that’s cuz of his knee injury.

I think it’s safe to say the Knicks are no longer drafting Ryan Dunn…..LOL!

You never know, but it does seem like they pivoted a few days ago to looking at a lot of guys who aren’t going to need development like Dunn. Probably due to them seeing that they could maybe pull a Mikal trade.

Ware and Filipowski are both soft.

Ware in particular just lacks intensity and physicality for a guy that size.

Not sure why people are clamoring for Ware. Seems to be a RealGM thing every year where the forum gets fixated on a player collectively.

I'd rather have DaRon Holmes over both of those guys.

Haven't seen much of Mogbo. Will do more research tomorrow.

The Knicks are in a spot now where they should go get who they want no matter what. If they can get Ware, Edey, Holmes or Flipowski along with a Dunn, Shannon or Furphy, go do it.

I would be surprised if there isn't another trade today at the draft.

I don't see the Knicks simply drafting 2 rookies. I think they may draft for some other team and then trade drafted player + Mitch or Burks for a frontcourt player. I hope we draft at least one rookie that we can grow in a winning culture with a great coaching staff and a bunch of high character guys.....

1) If Knicks think Hartenstein is leaving they are going to keep Mitch. Then likely Burks + FRP gets traded.
2) If Hartenstein is headed back there is a chance they trade Mitch + FRP for a frontcourt player.

Too bad the Wizards traded Gafford already.....Burks + Wiz picks for him would have been nice in today's situation....

I think they might actually draft at least two guys to be there bench. It’s a good roleplayer draft and the Knicks need roleplayers.

What's the deal with Filipowski? Seems like the modern day C. No?
