I said this a few weeks ago. I don't want to touch LaMelo because he's got the same issues his brother has. I do think LaMelo plays with a little more of an edge cuz Lonzo just seems to float and play nonchalant. So maybe he has a better chance of succeeding but I'm not having it.

So we're taking Kendrick Perkins statements as gospel now?

He's been a herb.

Don't know where he's projected to go but i'm good with the Knicks drafting 2 PG's out of this draft if we can get a pick around wherever this kid is supposed to go and then grab one of N.Mannion or L.Ball with our lottery pick. It's time for the Knicks to get a legit f-ing point guard. I'm sick and tired of us not having one. All those people that were talking smack about Ja Morant around last years draft were dead wrong about that kid. It's probably the same people that were talking bad about T.Young and L.Doncic the year before.

I WANT OUR FUTURE PG IN THIS DRAFT.

I will make an exception for A.Edwards and then draft a PG with another pick though.

Eh, they’re different people. Thanassis sucks but I’d still take Giannis

You really dont know anything about Lamelo saying this. He may have a suspect Jumpshot, but the desire to be great is their in spades. He is nothing like his brother in how they approach the game. He actually has a pulse.

ok, Lamelo

all jokes aside, I don't even hate him as a prospect. I said that's the feeling I get from him. Note, I said that I don't think he has the KILLER INSTINCT on the court to be a star, not the desire. You post as if you know him personally

ok Yellow Mamba

as I said you have not been following him enough to think he does not play to want to wipe you out. He has plenty warts but playing without KI is not one of them. He will try to bury you, he is not afraid to put it on his shoulders.

Also I may know him. You post as if you know I dont know him personally. :o

What’s your thoughts on Tyrese Haliburton and Killian Hayes? Do you think they’re legitimate sleepers like Tyler Herro, Bam, Mitchell, etc?

I like Haliburton. Seems like a guy with very good offensive and defensive awareness. The release of his jumper is strange but seems to get the job done. He needs to tighten up his handle but yes this guy could translate well into the NBA.

I need to do work on Killian Hayes but my initial view on him was way higher than that of Frank. Hayes’ skills would probably translate consistently in the NBA and not only in FIBA.

I had initially thought that there was a wide gap between guys like Cole and LaMelo compared to Nico and the rest. But I think the gap is narrower than I think.

I like Okongwu a little farther down. NBA body. Good finisher - above the rim player with a good touch and craft below the rim. Very fluid athlete. Can't tell if he's any good from the outside but his FTs look good. Otherwise, he's just physically dominating so I'd like to see a game where he takes on somebody his size.

Tough positional fit. Another PF.

His scoring has really fallen off but at the end of the day he's still only 18. I just love his jumper and that logo range ability. Would be nice to end up with him
