Depends on how you look at. Most years RJ would be the grand prize. This kid is exceptionally talented. His game will translate better to the NBA, especially if he has shooters around him spacing the floor which Duke severely lacked with Cam bricking everything.We are doing just fine.
You're missing the point.
Again, I'm not doubting the players. I'm only saying KNICKS fans are not clowns for being disappointed they didn't get the #1 pick -- WHOEVER that player turns out to be.

Earlier in the season I couldn’t bring myself to get enamored with Culver as I believe lower ranked guys like KPJr and Langford were the ones with abilities that could translate to the NBA.
Culver’s lack of burst on top of his inconsistent shooting worries me in terms of his potential to be a great player in the league.
Culver reminds me of Frank. I would not trade down for him. I’ll be pretty mad if we did.
How do you feel about RJ still? He is growing on me a little bit. He is still a very flawed player but I am starting to see some star potential in him. His FIBA tape makes him look like a god

Its fine to be disappointed but taking it to the level guys like Stephen A Smith have been is ridiculous. The way this lottery turned out, we are lucky to have the 3rd pick.

If they trade DSJr, which seems to be necessary to get AD, who is the backup PG? Kadeem Allen? I mean, he played well, but wouldn't the Knicks want to retain a backup PG with a little more upside?
Frank is not a PG. He dont have the handling, agressive, leadership skills, emotional control to be a PG. His vision and passing are good but overrated. He could be a good wing.

This video is stupid!
I don't know many fans who were actually bashing RJ the player or whoever lands at #3. The "tripping" came from us never getting a break for so long and getting SO CLOSE to finally being in the driver's seat (with #1) only to get disappointed yet again.
Sure, the #3 pick is still good and way better than #5 or anywhere else we could have landed. However, if I had a chance to win a $100 million grand prize but ended up only winning 3rd place with $1 million, of course, $1 million is still very good and better than nothing -- but I'm still gonna be disappointed I didn't win the grand prize. It's only natural.
To call fans "clowns" for being disappointed and not jumping for joy over the #3 pick as quick as some were able to do is stupid.
$1 Million? Oh hell naw, more like $75 mil. RJ actually has more skill than Zion, Zion is just a Athletic freak of nature. People talk about RJ not being able to shoot, well Zion can't shoot past three feet. I was an RJ > Zion stan half the season and felt that Coach K was making him the #1 option for a reason. Coach K was putting the ball in RJ's hands and allowing him to run the team.
Don't get caught up on numbers in an analogy, especially since it has nothing to do with the actual players.

Oh I know bro and I understand why people were upset, but I'm sorry if my company came to me and said hey you have a 14% of becoming CEO of our company (I work for AT&T) or 12.7% chance of becoming a supervisor do you think I should be excited?

Also people weren't hoping they were expecting the league to throw us a bone.
