Great selection in the 2nd round. Swing big.


Sure he looks the part physically, he's versatile defensively at a size and length the Knicks need more of. I see him dribble and shoot a little in those videos and it doesn't look clumsy or broken.

So with the 50th pick I'm going to give this FO the benefit of the doubt because I don't know enough about anyone in the 2nr round of this draft to argue with it.

It's hard to think he'll contribute anytime soon but what player was going to do that available at 50? Who knows. He has some promising upside I suppose.


Its a lot easier to dream about him than someone like Trevor Keels.

Hope we do get a player development system here to maximize these guys.

After watching under 18 he not bad at all. 3 ball in his game. Scouting report make it seem like he don’t make or take 3s. Also handles the ball a lot.

They should have just traded for future second…. These guys haven’t converted one stash draft guy or one raw project yet.

Why spend money on a kid who might not play when you can focus that on vets who can win now ?

We have enough young players (for now) in Dadiet, Kolek, Huk, McCullar.

Thibbs not playing them at all means we essentially have a 2025 draft class of those 4 and french Obi.

Sign a combo G & stretch the floor forward and move on!

They did the same thing last year. They got draft rights to a guy who was already an assistant coach, not even playing anymore. Petteri Koponan

I think they do it for exposure to the European market, but that's just a guess.

I'd never seen that translated before. That's a rocking anthem. Also reminds me of Casablanca.
