2019-2020 College/Draft thread IX (Knicks own #8 pick, 11/18 DRAFT) - Picking 8 who do you NOT want???

Fast, but it's straight line speed.
Awareness leaves a lot to be desired as a PG.
The turnovers, the weight, can he adjust to the bigger bodies in the NBA?

He could be Fox, he could be a rich mans Ish Smith with shooting.

Smith is very solid , A rich mans version of that is Fox level IMO.

yea people say smith with shooting as if thats a bad thing

'How many times over the last few years has Smith effortlessly carved through our defense to an easy layup? Dude routinely made us look like statues.

bro people were comparing winslow to JAMES HARDEN before that draft because he did one eurostep move

I remember the clip of D'Angelo Russell and that one pass that had people going nuts and comparing him to all sorts of great point guards in NBA history.

to be fair, dlo looked incredible at OSU - i was a big buyer then and still love his game as a pro, although i expected him to be more of a creator than the scorer he's become. even with the benefit of hindsight he was absolutely the right pick at #2. i also push back on the hayes comparisons to him bc of this when hayes doesn't even have a signature game on his resume.

Watch on YouTube

Wait! You may be right, but NORTHWESTSERN as a signature game?

Pat Riley is gonna try to get Kira Lewis. Watch

Too bad ROY runner up Kendrick Nunn tanked his value in the bubble.

I’m taking Kira in the top 5

Doing a deeper dive on Tyrell Terry made you like Kira even more didn’t it?

Again folks are getting carried away projecting guys too far based on too little.

Info from the Hawks "insider" (using spoiler b/c last time they locked their forum for users only)

Spoiler:

Says Knicks FO is NOT interested in trading away EITHER of their 1st rounders (if true, best news I've heard)

Said the FO is trying to build the right way and be patient

Also a couple weeks ago, said that they want to keep Frank, and that he's not available anymore/Thibs likes him

Hayes, Kira, amd Vassell are tied for lowest " do not wants"...I'm content with that since it coincides with my top 3 picks for 8.

i'm starting to lean heavily on kira, ask yourself this ... would kira be a prospect that shoots up in the draft every year?

the answer is yes.

You can't answer your own question. Also, the answer is no. He's the type of player that draft forums fall in love with and wonder why he's on the board way later than he should be.

Kira is just fast, he's not an advanced dribbler, and he doesn't make advanced reads on the move. He's not Fox, and Ish Smith with a Jumper is still just a back-up PG.
