I'm still on the Vassell or Nesmith train at #8. More so Nesmith, I believe he can develop into a solid defender and the way he moves without the ball and read angles is exactly what we need next to RJ. Either way I'm happy with either one. Kira or RJH will be a trade up for me.
The only pg i'll take at #8 is Hayes, if not I'm okay with DSJ and Frank next year.

Just saw this on RealGM GSW thread. Interesting that Edwards is starting to be questioned and may wind up dropping after all.

Man, it could be that AntMan is dropping because he chose not to participate in the combine interviews. It could be he is similar to Dion Waiters because he hasn't won anything and forgets plays and actions per Jonathan Wasserman of B/R. Dion Waiters could now be his floor .
"... executives from different clubs are concerned about Edwards’ commitment to winning:
Scouts and executives have mentioned that his teams haven’t won at any level and that he even forgets plays and actions. Despite media projections and upside that everyone acknowledges, he has a shaky reputation within NBA circles. Dion Waiters has been used by skeptics as a comparison or low-end outcome for Edwards, an inefficient scorer at Georgia whose Bulldogs finished 13 of 14 teams in the SEC."

Wasserman previous had Anthony Edwards going #1 in his mock draft.
BTW, why isn't Onyeka Okongwu not mentioned by those who want a big man? It sounds to me Wiseman fans are basing it on strictly measurements.

I think he'll be a decent team defender, but I just don't see him becoming a solid on-ball defender.

Not that I trust Berman, but don't think anyone really expects Cole to be the pick anyway at this point.

damn. I am not crazy about Cole, but it would be surprising if he fell that low. I would probably take him quick if he fell to #27.

Coleslaw was always overrated. Just another in the long line of overrated NYC PGs. He got buzz due to his pops.

Sign me up for Cole at 27. This is why I like the one and done rule for the NBA. Someone would have easily drafted him in the top 5 coming out of high school and now there’s talk of him slipping out the first round. It’s pretty much a safe guard for nba teams against themselves
I'm apart of a Knicks podcast! You Should check it out!

If we were to be on about rumors we would have traded so much wed have some "star" from the market, lamelo and a whole lotta cap space since we traded away everyone else.

There are certain posters that when they voice support for a player I also like in the draft it makes me question my judgment......
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.

Knowledge is just information stuffed into a mental bag

The Hawks have the team in place to make him work for that Starting Wing Spot. They wouldn't need him to be the guy either. His floor has to be #6 imo.
