I'm just not strong on Ja and feel he's going to be DSJ 2, not that it's bad, I do believe both will be good players, just not top three. If Barrett is taken at #3 than I want Culver. Someone that doesn't leave a black hole in your lineup. People see "point guard that can jump out the gym!" and they hype him up to be the next up and coming, but fail to see that he sucked as a rookie.

Demar shot 17% in collage while rj shot 30%. Rj understands the modern game and he had to shoot to give zion spacing.

RJs not as functionally athletic as Derozan.
You are right on that. But demars game is so archaic, while rj seems to understand how thr modern game js supposed to be played.

After saying he was right handed RJ should have added that he uses only his left as a way to make it fairer against the competition LOL.

I think Culver would be gone by the 5th pick.

Any trade down would be for Reddish or Hunter.

Every year we intrigued with new toys in the brand new packaging. I hope we find a way to get hachimaru or Tyler herro. Maybe....... both???!?! Tyler herro got that automatic release. U can always use a sniper with a quick release.


Most likely though a lot of these guys suck. I think rui, hunter, herro and garland will be good players outta this draft besides the top 3. Starters or solid 6th mans.

RJ and Mitch is our future. Unless we can get AD and keep Mitch.

Interesting article about Barrett and Culver.

Nice try Lakers, but the Pelicans don't want Culver.

If the Knicks end up trading for the Cavs 26th pick i’d definitely would draft Bazley there. I think he was pretty highly rated coming out of high school and we struck gold with Mitch. Why not try that again?

This idea that Knicks fans are gonna blame Barrett for the Knicks striking out in free agency is baseless and... strange? Also the Knicks didn't push this notion that we were getting Zion, the media did, including ESPN. Greenberg in his feelings in this segment.

I don't get why they think we're children who are gonna blame Barrett for lottery balls and the media overhyping ****. I also don't understand why they think we expect Barett to be a franchise player as soon as he steps on the court. This false narrative has to stop.
