I'd take him, kinda torn between him and Kira. the upside w/ Hampton is big. if the jumper is real, he's Zach LaVine IMO

Kinda hope someone really wants Okongwu in the early teens and is willing to trade up for him. I’d much rather be at 12 or 14 right now than we are at 8.
I'm apart of a Knicks podcast! You Should check it out!

they've played just 3 fewer college games than James Wiseman, who takes up half this thread
If there was no 1 and done rule, I think there'd be at least 6 HS'ers I'd take #1: Cade Cunningham, Jalen Green, Jonathan Kuminga, BJ Boston, Jalen Johnson, Ziaire Williams

I know Wiseman takes up a lot of space on this thread but he has a man's body compared to these kids who have bodies of a teenager. When LeBron came out of high school, he also had a man's body.
The NBA just might as well expand its development league and make it a real minor league, like baseball. College basketball is becoming obsolete.

They got us coming away with Kira / Bane / Scrubb
That'd be an awesome draft!

Oh, my bad. I'd still take that. Kira and Bane compliment our core well. Both can shoot. Both can step right in and contribute. Bane is very physical and has a good frame. And can really shoot the 3.

true, Boston, Greem, Williams are skinny but they have tremendous skill. Kuminga, Johnson, and Cunningham are pretty well built tho

Can you imagine what Oakley would do to this spaghetti arms? He shoots the ball like my 14 year old niece.

I'm not that high on LaMelo but even with a trash jumper he's gonna run some offense, imagine a 3 & D guy without the 3, nah man. Easy choice, Melo.
