When asked if he knows whom he would draft with the top pick, should the Knicks win the draft lottery, Jackson said, “I do.”
During a 45-minute presentation to season-ticket holders at the Garden's Theatre, Jackson also was asked what he cherished more in a big man — the ability to pass and score or be a dominant defender.
“Defender,'' Jackson said to applause, adding to the irony of his trade of Chandler last offseason. “That's a good starting point — a guy like Tyson Chandler and the defensive passion they have to have. So many screen and rolls, so many 3-point shooters, a player of size has to cover and protect the basket but also step out defensively and do defensive work on the extreme part of the floor. It's very important for that player to have defensive capabilities.''
Phil Jackson is trolling. His first order of business as GM was to trade away Tyson Chandler. Now he says that's the type of player most necessary to win. Seriously, the dude is just laughing all the way to the bank. Glad it ended up being Dolan's money and not ours.
Sounds like he would use the top pick on Towns
Or WCS
I'm excited for the Western Conference playoffs, I'll be rooting for my boy Steph Curry! Who is everyone picking?
