UVa's Hunter & Jerome have both declared for the draft... What do you guys think about Jerome? I honestly thought he was going to stay @ UVa. Obviously he's not a lottery pick but does he have 1st round talent? I don't know... he's a very smart player and has a good shot with range but he's not athletic and is slow footed. I think he'll struggle at the next level.

Is he playing better or are people getting cold feet about other prospects.

I'm not impressed with what I've seen from him.

Could be a decent backup but that's about it. High IQ with good shooting and solid Playmaking but slow footed and average handles. 3rd string guard with potential to become a backup rotation player

Thanks man for your feedback... And obviously I agree with you 100%. I tell you who he reminds me of -- Dennis Johnson. But the era of basketball was much different then. To your point - I think his handles are worse than Ron Baker and he's not a deadly shooter (say like Joe Harris) and plus he's shown little ability to get to the rim, much less finish at the rim.

I still believe Zion will end up in Chicago especially if KD&Kyrie come to NY. East Coast prime time ratings have suffered since Lebron went west. Having Zion in Chicago and KD/Kyrie in NY will pump up the ratings for the East Coast prime time games

We aren't picking another kid from france sorry sekou the knicks don't have good track record with players from france frank and weis. Perry and especially mills there are very unlikely to pick player from france knowing the knicks track record they been fooled to many times.

Chicago is a dumpster fire just like the suns they have a dumb stubborn coach nobody likes in jim boylan i doubt that zion would go there, plus i think silver wants to put zion in stable environment those teams are hawks and the knicks . Both the knicks and hawks good front office and have coaches that highly respected in this league, the only difference the hawks have cheap ownership and knicks have crazy owner in dolan.

I don't even like Sekou, but that's the worst argument against taking a player I ever heard

Teams do that if they don't have good history from certain country and those players they selected haven;t done well they black list them from that team. I give you example my football team is the carolina panthers i will say about 10 years we selected couple guys from usc trojans team, those wide reciever kerry colber and dwayne jarret were bust picks, ever since that time the carolina panthers never select anybody from usc trojans. The panthers never go send there scouts to usc because they don't have a good track record because of there bad history selecting picks from that team, is it the right thing do probably not but when you have bad history it comes back to haunt you.

Also lets face it the knicks organization doesn't have a good history with international players there either good players with bad attitudes kanter ,kp or there a disaster selection willy gomez, and frank nitkinia.
