2019-2020 College/Draft thread (Part 2)

[Deeeez Knicks]

don't be surprised if college ball gets cancelled too. someone on some team is bound to get it.

That's probably where this is heading. I can't see the tournament going on and finishing up as scheduled.

[Deeeez Knicks]

That was a bad win too. Hope Randle's luck of getting the #1 pick is real.

I think odds would have 1 team moving up, and us picking #7. Hoping we could get Killian Hayes at that spot and would be really happy with that.

[knickstape4ever]

If we can't get Wiseman, Dani, Edwards or Ball (possiblyObi) .. I'm going RJ again. Just not thrilled with the bottom lotto

I like RJ Hampton's game but idk if he's the best fit; he kind of overlaps with our current RJ in that he's more of a slasher than shooter; IMO we need to surround Barrett with shooting and give him more on-ball opportunities

this draft is frustrating which is why I really wanted to get top 2 for Edwards or Ball (he can't shoot but he's got touch and I'd bet on him becoming a good shooter over time like Lonzo)

I see a lot of love for Haliburton; I just don't see it; he's got a janky looking jump shot which I'm not sure translates; and he doesn't really get to the rim much; great passer tho. He's kinda like Frank and with the way Frank's been playing lately, I'd rather roll with him

Lmao. 6th worst record. Thank you, Pills!

tonight would have been a huge loss; such a tease

reports are that the NBA plans to resume; I'd assume if so if would be beginning of April, so we need to come back sluggish and gain some ping pong balls

I hope NBA resumes in April. Capela, Derrick Rose and Towns gets healthy by then and help their teams to win some unnecessary games.

don't get me started; I'm kinda fuming with that possibly being our last game and having the 6th worst record; I was hoping to be bottom 5 at least. FiveThirtyEight had projected us at 4th worst record if the rest of the season had played out

I like Hayes as well; I think he'll be a better shooter than his 3pt% suggests; also intrigued by Maxey

I like a lot of the mid 1st round players, hopefully we can pickup an extra 1st using our cap flexibility: Saddiq Bey, Jahmi'us Ramsey, Aaron Nesmith, Kira Lewis Jr.

I would love to pick up a mid 1st round pick. Maybe even if we can put together a package to trade up from the Clippers pick. I like a lot of guys in that range, and not sure any will fall to us.

There's so many unknowns at this point in terms of our draft spot and the season so its hard to say...just have to wait and see what happens.

Anthony Edwards, a stellar 29% from 3 pt range. SMH

Who else would you take in our current range though. I would take Hayes before hailburton (if Hayes is still there) but other than that I don’t really see anyone who’s gonna thread the needle.

It would be between hailburton or cole

Hailburton is more lonzo ball. He’d play that exact role as an above average passer, great catch and shoot player, tough defender and can push the pace. Lacks shot diversity though and handles are average at best

Cole Anthony you can plug in as a shot creator / shot maker with an aggressive mentality next to Barret but has poor decision making (not that that can’t fixed)

I don’t think your wrong either way you go both can be useful in there own ways. Preference thing I guess

[Fat]

Anthony Edwards, a stellar 29% from 3 pt range. SMH

Lamelo 25%
Edwards 29%
Maxey 29%
Hampton 29%
Mannion 32%
Cole 35%
Hayes 39%
Hailburotn 41%

[Fat]

If the Knicks top priority in the draft is still a scoring point guard though cole Anthony will be the guy we take. He closes fits the description and has ties to New York. Who we kiddin lol

[RHODEY]

I’m taking Wiseman over all these dudes. He is the safest choice by far and still has the highest ceiling in the draft. I don’t care about Mitch. Trade him for a point guard and call it a day.

Yeah that's an easy call...

its not as if Mitch has the best FG% of all time .....

Not that hard to accomplish considering all of his shots are uncontested dunks lol

There's a difference between uncontested and un guardable.

[robillionaire]

we were going to keep winning more games with these vets and the soft schedule, we will be lucky if they just end the season here because we could easily wind up 8th or 9th

[robillionaire]

7, 7, 8, 7, 9, 6, 7, 7, 1, 1, 9, 6, 8, 8, 8, 7, 6, 3, 9, 7

20 rolls, expect the worst

How is Mitch unguardable..? He has no jumper, no post moves, terrible ball handling.. etc. He’s just a lob threat at best.

[Juco24]

Later in the first... how about Saddiq Bey

[newyorker4ever]

If we can get a non point guard with our top pick with any of Wiseman, Deni or Obi then i'd double down on PG with the Clippers pick and Charlotte 2nd round pick and take T.Jones and Cassius Winston.

But what he has is un guard-able(Because of his length and explosion), or do you think there is a league wide consensus in place not to contest mitch's dunks and putbacks? Shaq wasn't the most versatile player either...but so what?

[RandlesCornrows]

Can we stop wanting the best possible odds. Let’s just select the right **** players and develop them. Let’s draft our Mitchell, SGA, Kawhi, etc.. don’t need a top 4 pick

[BugginOut]

Think the Knicks trade the Clippers or Mavs picks to move up and Draft Lamelo or Edwards?
