Does he have a relationship with KP besides both being from Europe?

I know he and Willy are close.

Also I can't wait for Stephen A's reaction to when we take Doncic over Porter Jr.

Then Talk Knicks. Take a break bro from the draft. Trust me. The thread this year was drawn out cause it went on so long. You want keep it going all year. :lol:

Most of the players people will talk about is all the cats who have entered as freshman. Not much else to talk about. You want us to talk about Miles bridges all summer?

Listen do you bro, But I will predict there won't be much action cause like I said We won't have nothing new to look at and evaluate. Its HS and thats not a good indicator of who is what. Seventh Woods had the illest mixtape ever and he was BLAH in college. We won't know untill this year who is the truth fam.



This thread is for people who wanna talk about potential prospects for next years draft. Of course they're not guaranteed to be good. No one knows until college. But there's nothing wrong to talk about them before. There's a lot of prospects I have in mind that I want to share with others and generate discussions about them. Nothing more than that.




Like I said do you. I'm taking a breaK and won't participate. But as of right now this my Guy. Thanks to Tron Carter Putting me on to him. But this dude @ SF is who I want. **** Kevin Knox.... :lol:






fam who the fk is he :lol:

Sun you know I stay Left field. :o

Dude is an African cat that grew up in Germany. He got that Frank/Giannis swag going on lol. Think a 6'8 Lamar Odom type when you see him. I will be honest I never heard of the dude untill yesterday when Tron Carter put me on to him, but I like what I see. He got that wingspan bro. :lol:


Depending where we end up I like him. I would take Doncic and Ayton above him for sure.

I don't think it's as strong as Willy's relationship with Luka but I've seen a few videos on IG stories of KP and Lula.

I bet Stephen A would have prepared a negative reaction as well for choosing Porter over Doncic. :lol:

"Your last two times in the top 10 you draft unknown international prospects passing on known commodities Devin Booker, Dennis Smith Jr and Malik Monk and this year you have the unmitigated gall to pass over the best international prospect in the last 25 years. Get his ass out of New York. I can't take it anymore. Ahhhhhhhhh"

Kinda happy that Robert Williams decided to go back to Texas A&M. He would have been a lotto pick this year had he stayed in the draft. Really want to see how much progress he makes as a sophomore. If the Knicks fall out of top 5 range he would be a guy worth considering. Perfect fit next to Porzingis.

Also keep an eye on Giannis' brother Kostas Antetoukounmpo. He is expected to debut for Dayton next season. They say he is more athletic than Giannis :o

I would eliminate every single freshman off our list right off the bat. Since Phil has been running things the Knicks have never drafted an NCAA underclassmen. We all know Phil doesn't change his feelings on anything so why will next year be any different? It will be Doncic or bust next year.

Phil would have drafted Okafor over KP if given the chance. Ayton and MPJr and of course Doncic would all be dangerous in the triangle offense.

I disagree. Phil would not have taken Okafor over KP. I have a feeling he will do whatever it takes to get Doncic in the draft.

Well he could very well trade KP for Doncic. :lol:

It's never too early? Lock this thread now. We'll be on the 840,976,345th extension of this thread by Christmas! Do we really want to spend twelve months waiting for another Euro no one has ever seen play?

LOCK IT UP! WE STILL HAVE 3 MILLION PAGES OF MELO TO GO THROUGH!

I can't wait for this boards reaction when they realize team management will not tank hard enough to even sniff Doncic.

He's def intriguing. I like his court vision. If we're able to snatch a second pick in the draft, he would probably be on our radar.
