If LaVar Ball didn't want people to think he was a sphincter he failed.

Have literally no idea what any of the kids are like as people, so no shade there. But Lonzo's game seems to have regressed badly this year.

The Knicks messed up again with the draft.

Yep....looks like it. Obi is pigeon toed...horrible lateral movement and carries is center of gravity way too high.

Amazing how bad they are in draft history....wow.

They might have found a sleeper in Quickley but I'm not at all surprised that Obi Toppin struggles in the NBA, his deficiencies were obvious (although I did expect him to be a bit more productive compared to some other Rookies due to age).

Does anyone know how the lotto works with the play-in now? Do play-ins still get lotto balls?

I’m thinking somehow, some way GSW gets a play-in, wins the lotto, pushes out MIN from the top 3, and pisses EVERYONE off and once more. Cunningham & Suggs anyone?

Yeah yeah. The definition of statistically improbable. But let’s enjoy the fantasy!

Melo and amare should thrive in this offense. If Jeremy Tyler and cole Aldridge looked that good in summer league then us knick fans have a lot to be excited about. Make room for all the bandwagoners when we take off

I can’t remember your earlier posts on the draft. Who were your top couple of guys?

Lamelo Ball 34 points on 14-27 shooting. 4-9 from 3. ZERO turnovers and 8 dimes.....Hornets got blown out but nice rookie performance.

Lamelo coming off the Warrior bench would have been great paired with wing defenders.

Still am but he was fifth on my board after Melo, Ant, Okongwu and PatWill. Wiseman sixth.

Anybody who makes sweeping declarations like a team "blew the draft" after 1/4 of a rookie season loses all credibility.

If you want attention for hot takes the general board is that way ----->

I've disagreed with Evan on lots of things over the years, but his credibility on this board isn't an issue.

I don't care who he is. Thinking that you know how a draft shakes out 22 games in is a bad take.
