A lot people were down on him for some reason. He seems to playing well and putting up some good numbers.

WCS looks like he took the next step in his development which is also good to see.

Don't forget Fox who looks to have taken the next step too.

Fox is the guard I wanted from that draft.

Oh well.

Tanking gets you Foxes and Donics, not tanking gets you Knoxes and Ntilikinas

You’d think after taking KP right before ORL was going to take him, it would be embedded in everyone’s mind kind just how important your draft slot is.

Instead we get the same “GSW didn’t need a top 5 pick excuse”.

You know what’s the most hilarious part of using that excuse? Not losing enough kept us from taking Curry.

I’m not out on Knox. I defended drafting him even before March madness.

So you dont thinks Knox will be comparable to half those dudes in a couple years? The only players I regret not getting out of the top six is Doncic and and maybe Ayton.

It’s got nothing to do with Knox and it’s about being mad with the process.

We are rebuilding. Enough of the LHF.

Magic Mike squawking about CP3's fine. Pulease. I know, his $$$$ is 4 times' Rondo's amount but monetarily, Chris Paul basically lost $5.

Speaking of top 5 pick, I think the Celtics own the Kings' unprotected 2019 lottery pick. I don't know why the Knicks can't get in on these ridiculous deals.

Still think Knox's ceiling is a very poor man's Tobias Harris.

...you realize that if we had been picking even 1 spot higher we wouldn't have KP, right?

Gaines said he’d take him #1 overall. Who knows what would happen at 3.

What I know is what actually happened. We finished with a worst record than ORL. We got the 4th pick instead of 5th. We took KP. They took Mario b/c KP was off the board.

We are rebuilding. Enough of the LHF.

I thought Phil was on record saying he would've taken Okafor at 3?

That's what I always assumed. Makes sense too

Those purple Lakers jerseys are booty. I bet Lebron pushed the idea.

By the way Trae Young is for real and as is Doncic. That was a really fun and entertaining game last night, Trae Young really took over in that 4th quarter when it mattered most and picked the Mavs apart.

i remeber him saying that okafor might have been a bit small, and that kat's feet were too big, and that people would be surprised with who the knicks pick at 4 :dontknow:

but who knows.

Top 6 all look like they’ll be All Stars in the future

Steph out here reminding everyone that he is the most uniquely great player of this generation, and maybe in the history of the NBA. That people somehow managed to forget it is beyond me.

These highlights look like they're from a movie that relied on CGI.

Yeah this draft was stacked at the top. A lot of studs. Next year will probably be the same. We need to hit!!!!!!!!! It's a must
