Deni just became the youngest Israeli League MVP ever. He’s such an interesting prospect to me. I have doubts he’ll ever become a “star” but I feel confident in his ability to become a really good player and helps a team in many different ways

At this point it's best player at whatever spot we fall into. The tank got obliterated those last few weeks and we sit at 6 which is terrible given how awful this roster is. I don't think the Clippers pick is quite enough to move from say 6 to 5, unless 5 really wants a guy and we really want a guy. Clippers pick and one or both Dallas picks could get us from like 6 to 4 maybe, again assuming that 4 has their heart set on somebody at 6.

Even if not the first choice, his ability to understand the right play quickly and being able to read and react combined with all those tools and skills can make him a top tier player in the NBA. You got a 6'5" guy with 6'10" wingspan, super strong, explosive, can create, pass, defend and see/understand the flow of the game. That's hard to pass on. If I'm the Knicks and Ball is off the board but Anthony is on, my choice would be real quick. You take Edwards, all the existing talent, the upside, the star qualities, the great feel and you think you can mold him into an All-Star player.

One scenario was where the Knicks end up with Edwards, trade Randle in some sort of package for CP3 and sign Woods or Bertans, then add them to Barrett and Robinson, and that would be one heck of a team that could do something under Thibs.


The best talent in the draft.

Obi is too close to a Carlos Boozer type for him to be the pick assuming Thibs actually has any say in it. Thibs was not a fan of Boozer's game.


They will go with more ready made prospects and vets rather than full youth movement like LaMelo - Jalen Green - Emoni Bates as most of us hardcore fans want here

Hard to tell who the Knicks are going after imo. Walt Perrin is all about BPA. Can make a case for anyone being BPA in this draft

Probably. That is the Croatian flag and Saric is a Croat. Saric also was putting up real nice stats overseas...that was the one thing that was different about him and a lot of the other young Euro players when discussing the draft...he was actually playing lots and putting big numbers up.


isn't Dario the player that said Thibs never talked to him once
Is it Miritoc?

2010 made a Mitch Richmond comp earlier in the year. I see it. Just a tough, big guard that has just about every tool at an above average (for NBA) player. Any team can use a Mitch Richmond.

Take it with a grain of salt but info apparently came from someone with connections with the Hawks FO.

Says that the Hawks draft board is 1. Edwards 2. Toppin 3. Ball 4. Haliburton.

Other tidbits here are that the Suns are targeting Cole Anthony and that the Spurs would go for Vassell if they couldn’t move up.

For the Knicks we were indeed interested in LaVine but the asking price is a first rounder and a role player which we refused. Nets seem to be the one that will be more aggressive for LaVine. Mike D’Antoni was also the name floated as the next Nets’ coach.

As expected teams are expecting us to be willing to trade up for LaMelo.

Thanks for sharing this. Cole does seem like he's in Phoenix's range so that's not too far fetched. Interesting to see the Nets have Mike D'Antoni as a candidate. Maybe if he gets fired they'll prob go all in on him. Makes sense for the Knicks not to give up a pick for Lavine cause we still need talent around him. Nets are probably offering Levert, picks and other guys for Lavine. They need a 3rd star and might have the assets to pull it off.

I wonder what the Knicks are giving up to get Lamelo. I'd imagine at the very least that Knox, Frank and DSJ are on the table.

not number one I don't expect but top 5 certainly

every player in the top of this draft has a question mark or more about them

I'm praying we get a top 2 pick to land 1 of Ball or Edwards, would be ecstatic with either. Edwards shooting ability would play well off RJ; his %'s dont suggest it, but he's a really good shooter
