Looks like Monk changed his tune from a month ago when he was skittish about playing in the triangle. I'm actually hyping myself to take him. I think he has a chance to be Beal 2.0 if he can tighten up that handle. I think he's a better shooter coming out than Beal was. And I believe he can be passable on defense if he just locks in more off the ball. Having KP as a rim protector behind him will help as well on that end.

Wonder if Tatum is even on the Knicks' radar? Seems of the high level prospects we've looked at, they've all been guards. Thought I remembered hearing we worked out Isaac, but I can't find a link so maybe I was dreaming.

I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Hammond took him at 6

Yeah. Frank def can shake a player if he wants to. I was not sure until tonight where he was at with it. But if this the handle he has right now...he def can shake cats in america and penetrate when he works on it more. He had a few times where the 1-2 was VERY tight.

Hopefully he can pull off a move like that a little quicker in the NBA.

French Mardy Collins imo, would be a good pickup from undrafted market

If that were to happen (4 games), the Knicks may just fly to him. They're not going to interfere with his playoff schedule and preparations though.

Finally a Frank Nakita mix with music that doesn't completely suck..

On the flip side I feel bad that we are about to force Clyde into early retirement if Frank is the pick.. With all the international flavor we have coming in it may be too much for him to overcome

Shut up Fran, it's not. He had better games before this season.

Those International scouts don't know what they are talking about duh.

They are prob judging it by the stakes of the play. Im pretty sure Frank has never played in stakes like this in the pros. So it is impressive even if he scored more points etc before.

I agree with that, but still his best game this season was when he played in Champions League play-off game, they lost first game by 19 points and Frank took over the game 2 at home and almost they made a comeback, but at the end, they lost.

Watch on YouTube

It looks like they run the triangle they damn self. Phil and co. probably loving that right now. Also the fact that he's one of the youngest in the draft, is from Europe, and they feel like they can mold him without having to worry about an ego.

Supposedly Isaac hasn't worked out for any team outside the top 4.. Dunno if the report can from a legit source or not

The Decision.

2010 it was Lebron
2014 it was Lebron again.
2016 it was Kevin Durant.
2017 it is 3toheadmelo tbh

Was wondering this too....

If he somehow is there for us at 8....are we going to pass on him?

Frank def showed out today and he's perfect for our team and addresses a weakness...but a baby Melo to pair with KP?! Lord.....

Frank flashed some more ball handling, play making, and passing ability...it was premature to already be putting him in a box as just a 3&D guard with no ball skills

toss any Shump comparisons into the trash
