It's a great trade... the PG's were all pretty close to my eye and that's the position I know the most.


Definitely, and definitely a change of pace from what Calderon provides us. Plus Grant's a ball player. There are a lot of good players out there, but not all of them ballers. Grant needs to work on his decision making, though. Not sure how he will adapt to the isoceles offense.

I'm giving Zingis a chance, but I can't complain about this draft right now. I wonder if he gets a second rounder, too.

Phil Jackson got us Porzingis and turned Tim Hardaway Jr into Jerian Grant, Jerian Grant IS a legit PG who averaged 16.5 points, 6.6 assists, and 1.7 steals last year. He can finish at the rim, knock down a 3, he creats for his teammates and creates for himself. Kristaps has time to develop and doesn't have to be a savior right away. I don't think Phil is done yet. Let's see what we do at SG now.

Apparently, we didn't give any up to lose Hardaway. Buy some #2s.

They say his BBIQ is really high, probably the highest of anyone in the draft. I expect him to be teaching everyone sets by day 2 lol.


Probably. I like him and coincidentally because I watched the ACC more than usual I'm pretty comfortable saying he's going to be a good player. Not an all star.. but just on the fringe. Thinking about Galloway and him in the backcourt together for the next 5 years is now something I can get behind. Porzingis now has to hold up his end of the bargain by hitting his open 3's , getting out on the wing and running the break, and being really active off the ball defensively.
