Starting to like Haliburton more and more

Really like the idea of a Haliburton/RJ backcourt

I feel like Scottie Lewis has a lot of potential, but he's really raw. If he's developed right, he could be the steal of the draft

I'm looking late first round if we trade Morris for a pick, what about Carey Jr. to beef up the C position behind Mitch or Nwora for the shooting

Killian Hayes is so intriguing. Kid is smooth and his shot looks beautiful.

Jaden McDaniels in the 20s is crazy. He will be a lotto pick

Pokusevski should wait a year. And put on another 15lb.

If not top 2 Knicks should trade down and pick Hayes and Maledon. If top 2 .. not sure.

I have started to warm up to Lamelo Ball. Would not be mad at all if we took him

Nico is looking like a really really nice prospect. I'm increasingly optimistic about being in the middle of the lottery.

you probably want to trade RJ if you are drafting lamelo. lamelo is a guy who has to have the ball in his hands. rj isn't a good off ball player unless he can fix the shot to a high level, and his best skill is the passing.

I see what your saying but i disagree. What your describing is a pg like elfrid payton.

Lamelo is another level. He'd make the game easier for RJ. The pace at which he see's the game is prime jkidd level.

No you don’t, cause he’s not a primary ball handler. Besides, He needs to improve his shooting regardless.

I’ve been Edwards or bust but I’m starting to like Halliburton, and starting to take Ball seriously. I want one of those three.

Haliburton is the best player in this draft

followed by Killian Hayes

RJ Hampton reminds me of randy foye/trey burke. IDK if hes got allstar+ production in him.
Im really really souring on Edwards. His shot reminds me of Cam reddish: its like fool's gold-- it looks great, but does it go in often enough? Other guys like Haliburton are just head and shoulders more efficient.


guys that are hard to slot are

Nico Mannion: he needs to be given a lot of leash to succeed. plays at a frenetic pace in half court. I love that hes got an accomplished floater down the lane. that is an amazing skill to have.
lamelo: idk. that shot is beyond whack. not convinced hes got the speed or strength to be a full time pg. Hes a nice facilitator just like his brother was coming out of college. I think he will have the exact same career trajectory as Lonzo. to me, not a top 5 player in this draft.
