Draft Thread #18 - Number 8, Number 8, Number 8, Number 8

Read on Twitter

I don't like Isola...but I like this tweet.

Just curious does anyone know who frank was suggesting was going to be our pick during the KP draft two years ago? Frank usually has sources just not within the knicks. So I wonder how accurate we think this is...

Idk who he suggested but he claims he was pro KP being the pick

[Jay10]

If Isaac falls do you take him over Frank?

Only if you're getting rid of Carmelo, and starting him at the Small Forward position; No one is taking a pick that high to come off the bench.

Willy: center/power forward
Kristaps: center/power forward

Here's a mock where we pass on Franky boy, DSJ and J.Tatum for..........................

I can imagine this board if this happened being suicidal.

These Josh Jackson rumors make so much sense. He's a better fit with Boston right now. That's a good problem to have.

Many people on this board says he's a 4. The defensive possibilities with him are endless.

I don't see the knicks doing it. Frank probably gets picked regardless who's there unless like Jackson, fultz, or fox fall.

Willy would come off the bench

PG:
SG: Lee
SF: Melo
PF: Isaac
C: Porzingis

I know he's skinny now, but that's the future of the league. Dude has demonstrated good rebounding ability and Porzingis is gonna be the future C.

They violating Tatum. What is going on with that? also Sixers getting Monk and Tatum after the trade is violation in itself lol.

I thought it was going to be Lauri. If we do pick Lauri, this board will be glorious.

So Kristaps will be coming off the bench, because i don't think Kristaps is going to be playing the center position any time soon?

I'm excited if we pick Mitchy He"ll be that player in the draft you look back on and say "how did he get overlooked by that many teams"

[EricAnderson]

From Rotoworld:

ESPN's Chad Ford is reporting that the Knicks are "seriously considering" taking Luke Kennard with their first-round pick.

I'm not so sure about how I feel about this. Is there a board consensus on how people view Kennard going forward?

Chad is trolling one last time before he is no longer at ESPN, since he was one of the many, who were released a few weeks ago.

These people that do mock drafts can only guarantee the #1 picks, and after that they are guessing like everyone else.

Even the 1st pick Chad is trolling saying JJ could go 1

It's not trolling really it's ESPN trying to manufacture drama because they televise the draft and don't want people to think the first few picks are set in stone

Fultz Ball and JJ will go in that order everything said is bs

While he's taking DSJr. and Malik Monk's cookies.

melo is temporary. he is not part of the future of this organization. you dont draft with melo in mind. if the FO thinks Isaac is the BPA, then you dont ignore it because you have a rental for 2 more seasons. its a rebuild, the melo era is ova.

Everyone is going to be watching Woj's draft show and not ESPN's.

I don't buy it. The rumor was started by Chad "I change my mocks post draft" Ford. We've gotten reports from not so terrible sources that he canceled his workouts with the Celtics. Not sure Jackson to Boston gains momentum before he even works out for them. This time of year is always insane with everyone and their mother tweeting about something. As someone above said, these guys just pull this stuff out of their ass.

[F N 11]

Man this next week is going to be crazy. We have no idea whats going to happen. I just hope it plays out to where no one slips and i can sleep at night knowing we didnt pass on Tatum or something for a point. Its a good problem to have. Whatever long week.

[dakomish23]

When are we creating the 2018 draft thread?

I could watch this all day
