Almost every single mock has MIkal going 9 or lower. Here seems to be one of the few places that’s convinced he’s going higher than that for sure.


because the kid is a damn baller. it only takes one good workout and he won't be there, its too close. His jumper is wet and he is a great athlete. Kid will be a workout warrior during the draft process and he's not all substance, he does the little things that help teams win basketball games. so yeah I could see him just as easily going ahead of Young or Sexton. to me they are all on the same tier



No doubt he’s a very good player but the draft is deep. I’d say top 6, even 7 is set (ayton, doncic, jjj, porter, bagley, Bamba, Carter if he declares). That leaves 8. I think Sexton and Young can be just as beastly in a workout as Mikal. I don’t think it’s set at all that mikal is gone by 9. Not even close.

TRAE YOUNG Point Guard Oklahoma, Freshman

A polarizing point guard prospect who, depending on the perspective, can look like either Steph Curry or Seth Curry.

I knew when sixers were up 30 points in first quarter against the bucks the cavs were going to rest there starters. Can't blame the knicks for winning this game burke and frank play great i hope we draft a small forward in this draft i mean already have 4 point guards on this roster burke,frank,mudiay, and baker there no need to draft another one right now give them all another year to prove themselves. There is no point on drafting sexton or young when the knicks need a small forward in the worst way. Ps not surprised that the nets lost tonight i knew they would disappoint us overrated coach kenny atskinson.

Frank moves fast and is not lazy when off-ball. Great game from Frank and Trey.

Deuces Jeff. You're more suited as an assistant than a HC.


Absolutely. Or at least with bigger minutes.

The excuses are lame

well steve nash didn't play defense either. If he becomes 70% of Nash on offense then he would probably be a really good nba player. I mean Trae lead the nation in scoring in high school and then did an encore by leading the nation in scoring and assists as a college player. I mean I am not going to bet against his offense at this point.

also Frank was playing with his back to the basket waiting for cutters like he was Lebron.
