This pick could be traded to the Sixers, but assume that the Knicks are making the pick.

Feel free to post who the Sixers would take if they get the pick, but vote who you think the Knicks would draft.

If it was the Sixers i guess I would go with Gordon, but I am not exactly sold on him. I would not trade up this hight to get Love.

Probably Randolph.

I picked the French guy because I have no idea where else to put him and the Knicks are as good a place as any according to some mock drafts. Plus the whole Frederic Weis connection.

French, Italian... same difference...
Unless you are thinking of Batum- who is french.

That's right Batum was the over-hyped guy for a couple of years and now it's Gallinari. Hard to keep the future Darko guys straight from the future Dirk guys. Either way, give him to the Knicks, but I want the Sixers to take Gordon if they pick 6th.

Like that guy said last year, "I don't like Yi. I never like those Euros."

It looks like most peole have voted. Pick 7 will be later this morning- so last chance.

Things really start to get murky over the next 15 picks. Its not clear to me which of the remaining guys will be role players versus good players. Very few really seem to have star potential.

You will start seeing teams pick more for positional need or for players that fit a team's specific system, at least in theory. In reality we are moving into the part of the draft where private workouts and interviews make the biggest difference on where guys are selected. Thad and Jason Smith definitely fell into that category last year.

Yeah...this looks like a 5 guy draft, in my opinion. 6 on is the scout special. Drafting BPa will be tough because there are so many X factors, projects and question marks between 6 and the early 20s.

If I were the Knicks I'd get out of this pick
