We will end up with RJ.
He fits. He’s a Fizdale type player.
And the kid gets such a bad rap.
He’s only 18 and fearless as they come.
He’s gonna be good out the box.
And he’s going to get better.
He won’t have Garden-itis.
He’ll embrace playing here.
It’s Zion, Ja (and a flurry of trades), RJ or trade down/out.

Why can’t he have a rookie Donovan Mitchell type impact?

If its not AD it will be for another star.

But theirs no doubt in my mind that they will trade the pick if its not Zion.


Three stars is hard to do. Someone has to be Bosh and take the back seat.

Dumb as ****. Basically outside of someone like Mitch who outperformed even the best predictions and players like Mo Bamba that vastly underperformed no one should move on these.

Luka wouldn't be 1 because he still doesn't mesh well with Booker and Ayton is (just like Luka) performing on an historically high level for a rookie. JJJ wouldn't move up because he didn't show anything new that would make Sacramento like him over Bagley, who also didn't show anything new. I would keep going but these type of posts are always annoying. If your ranking of a prospect was so fickle someone being a slightly better rookie than the other, whether or not it was expected pre-draft, would move them you didn't pay attention enough predraft and I don't trust your evaluations of these players anyway.

I honestly (and not being a homer) would have put Money Mitch ahead of Ayton, SGA & Carter... but fair enough.

I think we will get Morant. The basketball gods do not like the Knicks so they will not give us the #1 pick. Unfortunately! :banghead: :banghead:

I'm not a huge Barrett fan at all. Seems like a gunner to me. It will be a disaster if we land the 3rd pick.

Your ability to stick with something that's incorrect is admirable, I'll give you that.


He's the same guy that thought Steph Curry was going to be a bust and was vehement about it.

Some passes would’ve been better. Clearly the kid can shoot with ease.

Us dropping to 5th and ending up with Garland might end up as one of those “blessing in disguise” outcomes.

Im with you

I think he will end up being the better NBA player than Ja anyway


Im not sure about Culver or Reddish. They could both be really good in the NBA or crap, so unsure.

the fact that 90% if morant videos is him just dunking, that's the reason alone why you stay away.
LOL Y U MAD THO?
