Gets to the free throw line at an elite rate.

Don't mean to single you out but nobody has any idea what any players upside is. Mikal is still a year younger than most players in the past and they managed to attain heights much greater than their entry level. Bridges has improved every year in every way and I'm not sure how any person can say his head is bumping the ceiling. He will be very, very good.

i just listened but the guy didn't really elaborate. to red shirt the year must mean he needs another surgery. stay far away.

Why didn't the hosts try and get him to explain? Seems like that's some pretty big news to be dropping 2 days before the draft. Poor job with that interview.

Kanter wants long term contract.

Knicks News: Enes Kanter Seeks Long-Term Contract to 'Feel More Secure'

JUNE 19, 2018

MIAMI, FL - MARCH 21: Enes Kanter #00 of the New York Knicks handles the ball during the game against the Miami Heat on March 21, 2018 at American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida.

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter can earn $18.6 million by exercising his player option for the 2018-19 season, but he told ESPN.com's Ian Begley that he's angling for long-term security with the start of free agency less than two weeks away.

"Obviously, I want to be here. It's just that I would feel better and feel more secure and feel more comfortable if I signed [a contract for] multiple, two or three whatever, years," Kanter told Begley on Saturday. "Think about it. Next year, if you get hurt, then what? I know you can't worry about it, but it's always in the back of your head like, 'Man, if I get hurt, what's going to happen?'"

Kanter hasn't revealed a decision—he has until June 29 to do so—but he has hinted that he'd like to opt out and re-sign with the Knicks as an unrestricted free agent.

"I didn't make any decisions in or out," Kanter told reporters in April. "When I say I want to make New York my home, there's no lie. I want to stay here long-term.

"I don't want to stay here one year and make a decision later. I want to stay here for long term. That's the decision with my agent. I told everybody I want to retire as a Knick. I understand it's a business, but I told everybody I want to make New York my home."

The Oklahoma City Thunder traded Kanter to the Knicks last September. He averaged 14.1 points and 11.0 rebounds while shooting 59.2 percent from the field across 71 starts in his first year in the Big Apple.

I mean at the end of the day age shouldn't be as big of a factor as it is, but for some it's a deal breaker. It's why a Donovan Mitchell slips through the cracks, the Draymond's etc...

This is the better, more insightful video.

Perry has Godfather posture

Both of these videos are guys saying: "I had a really long business trip, had some business trip dinners with clients, and flew back home and life is tough but fun making a bunch of money working for the NBA"

What I learned about the draft process: Um....that Mills had a long flight with a quick turnaround after visiting some cities.

.... and he has Godfather posture

It's been since 1992 that the first two picks in the draft both wound up all stars...... top picks don't guarantee anything.

Porter to Philly confirmed

His first season will be live streamed from Embiid's crib. Sort of Big Brotherish format with intrigue over which kind of pizza Michael will choose for dinner and does he separate his whites before doing a wash.

The semantical issues regarding tanking are extentive. Imo controlling ones own destiny regarding acquring talent ex.the draft , is the surest way to assure the FO can build the team they want.

Pretty impressed with yourself, eh? What a load of crap...lol

Never saw him falling past 3, especially since guys they were considering at 3, Bamba, JJJ are raw offensively, and Trae would be a reach
