If we go by this we could pull Nesmith, Jamhius Ramsey and Cassius Stanley at 6, 27 & 37. Sign CP (not giving up draft picks except 2nd rounders in future) and we'd have 1 (CP & Frank), 2 (Ramsey, Stanley), 3 (Nesmith; RJ); and 5 (Mitch) with next years big laden draft to snag a 4 or two. That looks potentially solid across the board.

yeah let's take nesmith 6th and trade for cp3

I just did a spin on tankathon. first try:

1. New York Knicks - LaMelo Ball
2. Minnesota Timberwoles - Anthony Edwards
3. NEW ORLEANS PELICANS - James Wiseman

Killian went 7 to Detroit. Halliburton 8 to the Bulls. Hampton 10 to Wizards. Cole 11 to Phoenix.

I’ll be pretty happy if we get any of Lamelo/Wiseman/Edwards. But if the Pelicans get Wiseman... they gonna be running the league

Speaking of injuries, Cole Anthony already has had knee surgery. So that’s something to think about.

That actually is a concern for me which is compounded by his game. He's like a poor man's Derrick Rose and one of the biggest issues with Rose was that for him to reach his maximum effectiveness Rose had to put his body (especially his knees) through a lot of stress. This was something that some folks were concerned about with Rose...his durability given how violent his movements were. You see it with a guy like Kyrie as well. Guys that rely heavily on a full tilt, explosion based, start and stop game. And Cole Anthony is not near as fluid or physically gifted as Rose or Irving which would make me concerned about his long term durability.

I actually agree with that poor man's derrick rose comparison. he's probably like post knee injury knicks derrick rose but with a better 3pt shot. That's really not that bad of a player, rose was solid for us that year other than the fact he shot 21% from 3. sucked on defense too

Cole is growing on me

He put up points, but didn't make his teammates better.

And he didnt pass the ball too. He was kind of useless when the opponents defense was well organized to avoid drives towards the basket.

Kobe was a "project" that worked out pretty well, but yeah he was the 13th pick.

Wasn't Kobe the best high school player in the country when he was drafted way back then? I we think RJ Hampton is Kobe Bryant, then by all means draft him. But I have a feeling he isn't.

hampton was the 5th highest recruiting prospect of of HS behind wiseman, cole, Isaiah stewart and anthony edwards, so while he's not kobe bryant he was regarded as one of the top talents coming out of hs. playing in the NBL actually hurt his draft stock because he didn't dominate in it like lamelo did. But going into the season he was definitely viewed as a top 3-5 pick

Since I've never even seen him play thanks for the info.

Do you still think he's a top 7 pick?

Cartilage too. Not good. It depends on whether they were able to graft replacement cartilage from the good knee and it took.

And with the 27th pick the New york Knicks select:

COLE ANTHONY!!!!!

Not for the knicks because I think there will be a true PG available top 7 and as I strongly believe we need to draft a PG I have lamelo hayes and cole over him and I'm sure one or more of them will still be on the board. But I do think another team could justify taking him 7-10, just due to the fact he has as much upside as anybody in the draft. With that said it's hard to predict where he could actually fall. I saw on the 76ers board they were salivating over the idea of him potentially falling to 22, could end up being a great value for some team.

if we got cole 27th I'd feel like we were stealing i don't care how down you are on him that's a bargain

Here’s a video of Tyrese as a Freshman playing defense against a really good Texas Tech team. Think about it Tyrese and Frank playing together for spurts defending the perimeter, defending against other teams guards with Mitch behind them anchoring the defense, RJ taking a breather to come back in and do some work.....



You all know you would all love to see that.

[Spree2Houston]

I've been saying it. RJ Hampton is going to be the steal of this draft. I like his upside more than Anthony and Haliburton.

Hailburton and ntilkina on defense would be nice to see but on offense not really. You have two players in your backcourt who prefer to run the offense through teammates as facilitators but don’t really have scoring on there mind it seems like an overlap. Hailburton would work best next to a combo guard so would ntilkina.

He could be anywhere from Dante exum to Zach Lavine. His biggest strength right now is his speed and Creative finishing ability. He’s not elite at anything the Knicks need though he’s not elite at anything in general unless being fast is considered a skill. He’s not a playmaker or shooter either. This is another wait and see project to go along with the other wait and see projects the Knicks have.

Gamble pick that might or might not work.
But none the less he does have just as much potential As probably anyone else.
