If it was 2006 Obi would be a great draft pick. There were a lot of stretch 4’s that weren’t great defenders. The nba just took that idea one step further and put a wing there now instead. He probably ends up more like Bobby Portis instead of Amare. I feel bad for him though, he really could have rose his stock in the NCAA tourney. If he was that good Dayton would have made a run and you could see match up against some power conference teams instead of the scrubby ones in the A10.

A10 slander will not be tolerated in this thread

My cousin actually went to Dayton. Which one did you go too?

Saint Joe's Hawks till I die :lol:

I wouldn’t ask that cause I already said the Knicks most likely wouldn’t take him lol

If what Begley is saying is true then we wouldn’t even take Edwards either. Yikes

Yeah -_-

If we get Coleslaw then we need a coach like Kenny Atkinson to develop him. Or he’s gonna end up like DSJ.

The Knicks would be absolutely insane to take Nesmith 6. Can we stop with the over inflated emphasis on 3 point shooting?

3 point shooting emphasis is fine, when it's for role players and guys down lower in the draft.

And that sir is my point. Folks may have missed the part where I was specifically responding to the OP who had Nesmith being the 6th overall pick. To take Nesmith 6th overall would ABSOLUTELY be over inflating the emphasis on 3 point shooting. The Knicks need someone that can take their bottom of the barrel **** ass inefficient offense and make it better not a guy that can shoot spot up 3's. Spot up 3's is not going to make the Knicks 28th ranked offensive efficiency better. A 3 point shooter is not going to prevent the Knicks from having to rely on RJ Barrett to be a POINT SG or Julius Randle from having to be Lebron James in trying to create offense for himself and others on a crap team (neither of which either guy has any business being) or prevent a team that still looks like it's totally lost on offense. The Knicks need a shot creator, someone that can run and offense and create easy shot opportunities for himself and others. Failing that, the Knicks need someone that can be a no.1 option that can create his own shot easily (something that RJ Barrett and Julius Randle...and pretty much every single Knick...struggled with mightily last season). When the guy that can best create his own shot is a 2nd rounder from the previous seasons draft that you barely play, it's pretty clear what they need (the only guy that I would trust in being able to create his own shot in crunch time on this team is ISO Zo...and that's not a good thing).

Halliburton

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

Any team that gets Wiseman could be running the league.

Guy has the tools and potential to be unstoppable.

Which of this year’s draft prospects do you think is the best match for Randle’s game?

Wiseman is still the obvious #1 for me. Has both the highest floor and highest upside which is rare in a draft class, albeit this year’s is perceived to be a weak one.

Any turnover prevention specialist in this draft?

The fan that asked the question knows his stuff.

As much as I’ve grown attached to our guys especially Mitch, no one in our team right now warrants basing your entire draft decision over that one person.

You draft that guard or whoever player over Wiseman because you believe that guy would be more dominant and not because we already have a certain player on our roster.

Knicks semantics..... If cole doesn't learn to pass well he'll be the equivalent of Trier with him and RJ taking turns to ISO

Who do you think fam is better?

Cole Anthony or Coby White?

Probably Lamelo. He can break down the defense and create open looks for Randle. He’s a special passer imo

I think Cole. I was pretty low on Coby as a prospect. I am low on Cole as well but I think he is more talented

I think Edwards and Frank would make for a nice ying/yang backcourt tandem. Frank’s turning the corner imo
