If Knox is the pick for the Knicks fans will be praying he's more Devin Booker than he is Kenny Walker.
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.

Why do we have to hit a home run with the pick? Is it the bottom of the 9th?

Stupid media


They have to hit a home run because while the entire league was playing their bench, we played Our starters heavy minutes . They said they weren't worry about finding talent , so go find it. Idiots

I have no idea how a team takes Jaren Jackson over Bamba. None.

Again, Mikal D is over-rated, he's long and doesn't get into a good defensive stand, your mama can drive by him although his length helps him recover. B- or B defender at best...slight build.


His defensive stance is great. They won 2 championships with Mikal being at the front of their defense...trapping and forcing turnovers.


Again, I watched him play a bunch, very good team defender with high IQ, his issues with his slight build and inability to stay in front of offensive player on drives will be further exposed at the next level.

Again, good defender but with some shortcomings that will be exploited at the next level.

Jay Bilas on ESPN called Knox the sleeper of this draft class.

"All the pressure on the Knicks FO..."

GTFO with that noise by the media. They just have to not completely blow it and get a decent player. Team is like 3 full years away from anything. There's no huge "pressure" to get this draft right as opposed to any other.

I would hope so. If either of those guys falls to 9, you take them and run.

Don't run too fast with Porter, he might hurt his back

It's just perfect that tomorrow is a national holiday in Finland so no work in the morning and no problem staying up during the night to watch the draft. I'm expecting the Knicks to make a serious play for Luka. Dude will be a beast no doubt.
