Sorry Manute's Mom. Knicks didn't tank all year for some string bean who'll get pushed around in the post by guys who are routinely 25 lbs heavier and much stronger than the scrub bigs he generally faced in college.

LOL...You Super Mad! ... LMAO


Not really. I'd be mad if the Knicks blew a top 5 pick on Bol Bol though. Amazing comebacks though.

Bol Bol looks like he can break any part of his body at any moment in a game. I’m good. Dealt with that watching KP, and Bol is built 10x worse. What is he? 8ft tall? 115 lbs? No thanks.

4 or 5: Trade Down. Garland is a reach at either of those spots IMO.

Best case scenario. JA is the next Westbrook. I dont think Westbrook takes you to the finals anymore. You have to shoot to win. I personally would much prefer a shooting PG than an athletic one. but just my opinion.

The first quote makes zero sense. CP3 fits the description of the successful group but was constantly eliminated in the first round. We are grasping at straws waiting for the draft.

Truth right here. Every angle has been covered back to front and front to back and sideways multiple times.

Comes down to the lotto gods.

If he's the next Westbtrook I would be ecstatic. Several non sharpshooting shooting PGs have made it to the finals, as part of a talented squad. Idont understand why this pick necessarily has to be the one that takes us there over a key part of a great team.

Don't feel we need a point with 2 big free agents coming in. I feel reddish is a huge sleeper in this draft as far as all around skill. Morant is exciting but has too many flaws, not sold on Culver the sloth, and I see a roll player in Hunter like Mislap. If we dont get 1-3 I'd prefer to trade down to the hawks for their 2 picks Reddish/Clark

Yep, we could sit here micro-analyzing these picks at 4 and 5 for weeks just to land #1 and find it was a waste of our energy. I'm not stressing it anymore until after the lotto.
