Whats Okoro's potential is based on? Someone sell it to me or show some sexy footage

Well, doubtful this one clip sells you. Assume that you know he's a very good defender. And we know his shot isn't great, work in progress etc.

But the defense plus this kind of passing/court awareness I think is what has teams willing to take a shot higher in the draft:

Watch on YouTube

I wouldn't hate the Okoro pick, especially MAYBE in the context of Knicks sign FVV for PG, but honestly, he's about my 5th pick, though at one point I had sold myself on him.

Not that anyone cares, but

LaMelo
Edwards
(guys I'd hope they trade up for but they won't)

Hayes
Terry

Lewis
Haliburton
Okoro

Is it bad that my takeaway was hearing the announcer say "Auburn has had THREE DIFFERENT 3 MINUTE SCORING DROUGHTS". ... SMDH- he'll fit in great

Exactly.....and perhaps why the Knicks have not brought Okoro in for a 2nd audition.

Thibs has a history of drafting defensive guys. I would not be shocked at Okoro or Vassell.

Okoro

His wingspan is pretty meh so dont think he can be huge difference maker in D although would be solid, looks like his offense needs to be polished a lot more before that passing makes any difference

Seems weird to have him higher than Terry who can emulate Linsanity/Herro when Okoro doesnt strike as someone to change the fortune of franchise by himself

I'd rather have Terry

[thebuzzardman]

Haven't hiked yet. Apparently my retired Marine neighbor is being a lame ass who doesn't like getting up early after splitting a fifth of whiskey with 4 beers each. That's not THAT much.

He has risen!

Theoretically 12 miles today. Might wind up at 8.

That was a commitment to drinking goddamn.

[Zenzibar]

why can't we just draft him?

Watch on YouTube

This kid's potential is really high and shot is the best in the draft. Highest BBall IQ EVER recorded. The garden will love him.

Seth Curry has averaged 1.7 asssit in his career, TT will be MUCH better.

How do you record that

How so? You mean my projection that he'll surpass the Seth comparisons?

givony has terry 28th in his latest mock draft, so just draft him at 27 and you have both

the knicks aren't going to start off the rose era by taking someone projected in the 20s at 8

yall can chill with that right now

okoro, toppin, haliburton, hayes, williams

pick one, nobody else is happening at 8 I promise

source, dude trust me

Im not a fan of both at #8... I don't think Vassell is even better than Mikal Bridges and I think Okoro can easily be no more than an Athletic Shumpert... though I like his passing

I really don't like players with no handle and/or jump shot.

Why set the bar low? He will surpass Steph (as long as we draft him)

We will need someone to create shots for Terry so Kira it is then

He called kD and Kyrie to Nets so I’m listening to him a little. Also Boston disrespectful for that offer.

Fred said show me the money in the interview.

I think he was talking about the BBall IQ recorded. Idk I’m sure there’s some form of grading system for basketball related questions, situations, and analysis. Terry is going to be a stud. The improved strength and athleticism too

I could buy on them working on those skills if they were physical freaks but they look rather ordinary, Okoro looks well developed beyond his age physically just look at his legs but not sure thats even a good thing for us we should draft for 5 years later not now

14 and one of 26/30 would be fair otherwise they can kick rocks

A+++ for BBQ

Got you.

Even as a big fan, it' hard to imagine the Knicks drafting him. If you have to take out said player at the end of games because of defense, it' not the future pillar at point guard.
Too bad Terry doesn't have Kira's size, cause he's soooo much more advance on the court.

[Celo]

why can't we just draft him?

Watch on YouTube

I like Terry, but he's not a PG, you'll be disappointed in him if he's forced to run an offense. He's talented, but he was a product of the scheme that Stanford run that hid his weaknesses (ball handling, breaking down a defense, doing advanced reads) and strenghend his strengths. If we hadn't had hired Thibs, but a coach that would be more known for running a motion-based offense, I'd be all in on Terry because I do think he can be special. I just don't think that Thibs would get the best out of Terry, limiting his upside big-time. I mean it could be all smokescreens, bit the interest in Kira and RW indicates to me that Thibs might prefer running a PnR - heavy offense where Terry might not look as good as he did at Stanford.
