Every player has a pretty clear weakness.

Yeah that’s kinda why I don’t care anymore about draft position or even scouting reports, we get who we get and I hope we get lucky for a change and the guy we take shines and surprises us for a change but I can envision scenarios where any of these dudes are busts

You know you have a problem when...

You're in a casual Knicks chat on Twitter and someone posts a gif of Clyde saying "the last time the Knicks drafted a kid from Georgia" and within 5 seconds you think "nope! That was Gerald Wilkins"

I decided to not be a dick and well actually the guy, though. Gotta pick your spots with those lol.

If you’re gonna have a knee issue...the meniscus is where you want it so to speak.

I still don’t want him if I’m picking top ten.

He look pretty nice. 6’5 pg with nice court vision and can create his own shot. Don’t know what his flaws are tho just judging him off this vid.

I noticed him rising up on the tankathon draft boards recently too. Idk about you but he looks pretty slow out there. It gave me some Culver/Frank vibes with his level of athleticism. At least he's pretty crafty with ball, those stepbacks are Luka like. Would it be weird if our starting back court players were both lefties?

He's like a euro version of D-lo not really ahtletic but crafty enough to get his shots off and a good passer. He cool but id still take nico over him though

Probably the smartest decision for him to make. I'm def not paying any money to charity cuz the NCAA ordered him to do it

partial meniscus tear is not considered a serious injury. if he has a history of knee problems, i get it. i also understand the concerns about the explosive nature of his game and all. but people tear meniscii all the time and don't see loss from it.

derrick rose had a LOT of leg problems and played an extremely violent basketball game.

yeah. we know who he is. he's got nothing to really gain by finishing the season under these circumstances. not like a tournament run was going to boost his stock. he's already considered a top pick. and the competition may have gotten thinner with cole's injury.

Yeah because beating the hawks means some huge winning streak is coming

I don't even want to know how many billions of dollars the NCAA has made off its athletes. Good on Wiseman for not complying to NCAA's demands. Penny will be ok, he will pinch his pennies. :oops:

3toheadmelo · Post #1619 » by **3toheadmelo** » Thu Dec 19, 2019 9:25 pm

Lowkey sad now that we will not be able to see Wiseman and can only judge him off 3 games. But I am still not hesitating and taking him #1.
