A guy we should take a look at if we stay in the 20’s. Pretty good cutter, shooter, playmakers, and creates turnovers but I’m not sure he’s an nba athlete but seems pretty solid.

[Nbabrothers]

I don’t really follow college but of course I know who Cade Cunningham is.
My questions are:
Which are our areas of weakness?
I say point guard and small forward.

Who do we draft and have a realistic chance of getting to fill those areas of weakness?

[Dave DaButcher]

Anyone else get big Bill Wennington vibes from Drew Timme?

[mpharris36]

Suggs is really good

[El Poochio]

Isnt it too obvious Gonzaga gonna win it all

[knickstape4ever]

Suggs is really good

too bad he and 2-3 of the other top 5 prospects will end up elsewhere in the East

Suggs is really good

He's tough.. holds his ground against bigger players on D.. hunts blocks steals and rebounds. Elite court vision.. throws great bounce passes.. his anticipation radar is off the charts... great hands.. great free throw shooter.. solid form.. going to be a great shooter from deep. A +++ defender on the ball and off of it. Rarely makes mistakes.. for someone with his talent he also rarely takes bad shots. Best point guard prospect I've seen since Chris Paul at Wake Forest. His ONLY weakness is will he get banged up a lot because he doesn't back down from any aspect of the game.. BUT he's a football player so you know he's not going to have an issue playing 100 when he's banged up.

There are problems lurking. But the synergy they play with is up there all time. UNLV had a lot of it.. that Duke team that beat them had a lot of it. A couple of those Kentucky teams and Pierce's Kansas team also played with a ton of synergy as well.

Nice to see the Davion Mitchell bandwagon growing. was alone there until recently

he is a future star imo. i think he shoots up boards after workouts etc

[El Poochio]

Moody = Knox

Mitchell = DSJ (remember how DSJ looked in college)??

Does that mean you like Suggs more than Cade??

When we first started talking about the draft I said I could see Cade dropping. I project Suggs to be a better pro.

Cade shows cracks in his armor in the tournament.. he had a lot of trouble splitting defenders and getting into seams. Teams got away with double teaming Cade. You try and double Suggs and you're going to get picked apart with minimal effort.

CP3 was a bulldog on D in college also but if you watch Suggs play a lot he is one of the only guards I've seen affect the game from a shot blocking standpoint. He so eager to hunt blocks especially on bigger players coming from the weak side that they think twice about it. I've never seen that. He's going to get a couple of blocks a game in his prime.

Now before the hate-me brigade comes in chirping all their garbage.. Curry had the mid-major cloud hanging over his head when he was coming out of college.. and Kyrie had durability and weight issues going into Duke.

The best college point guards I've seen were Kidd, Anderson, Paul, and this kid.

[Guano]

this ucla/bama game is so damn good

[ibraheim718]

You can't play a zone against this team man.

[HarthorneWingo]

Corey Kispert is going to be the National College Player of the Year?

Never heard of the guy. I guess we'll be drafting him next.

The only issue I see is his age. There is a lot of stigma with players being that old coming out of college. But he could really help a team trying to get over the hump. Like if the Celtics were to draft him.

Mitchell can actually shoot and dribble.

DSj wasn't earning the name "off night" in college for locking people up like Mitchell

[ibraheim718]

The handle can get a little tighter and working on the left hand also. But he's 18.

Knicks taking notes..
