Steph Curry with the shot boi?

But seriously, the dude got range and can hit from anywhere. Wouldn't be surprised if he emerged as one of the best scorers in his draft class. He's also not just spot up shooter, he can score in a variety of ways. Him and KP would make a nice scoring duo


Think she was referencing Vivek selecting Stauskas because he hit 91/100 three point shots...nothing has been reported for Kennard.


Ah ok, I thought he was talking about Curry when he hit 77 in a row and like 90 something out of a 100

I'm just riding out these last 2 years until Phil is gone and we get a head coach who utilize what little talent we have.

I dont care if we tank or miss the playoffs by 1 game, our problems lie deeper than draft position and the solution isn't ball movement and unselfish team play.

Nets moved the ball all the way to worst record in the league.


:o wait are you a legit knick fan or just a melo fan??

Serious question, dont take it personally.

Well he said drafting isn't going to work and ball movement with unselfish team play also isn't going to work.

Low key this poster wants to bandaged this team up and go zeke mode.

Yeah - I was referencing the "Stauskas" video.



Seems like a Kings pick.

He has very long steps.

In the games ive watched of him he has never been close to being blocked due to his long arms. He does sometimes hang in the air after good defense is played on him (usually due to a middling first step/inability to completely blow by his man in half court situations) and put up a tough layup. As his body matures you hope those tough layups may turn into tough finishes.

Then acquire a mid 2nd round pick. Let's say 48. Select Frank Mason at 44, Sindarius Thornwell at 48, and Nigel Hayes at 58.

Ntilikina
Kennard
Mason
Thornwell
Hayes

Trying to understand why people think the best pure shooter in the draft is going to be sitting around at 15. Kennard - Mitchell more likely than Frank - Kennard...assuming we can even get that 15th pick


Kennard may be the best shooter but he literally cannot do anything else to benefit an NBA team. He cannot defend or create. He is a bench player at best. Not a 11st rounder IMO.

Look at Jimmer. A fantastic shooter and he can even create some yet he's in China because he can't defend.

So on what page of this thread can I find a good explanation as to why Isaacs would be such a terrible pick?

Isaacs would be a phenomenal pick but there's no way he slips to #8.
