The new CBA makes things more interesting. We’ve spent a lot of time on this fine website debating who the Knicks should take with the 8th pick in the NBA draft. And that’s understandable. But New York also owns two second round picks (#44 and #58). Therefore, it’s similarly worth considering what the best course of action would be with respect to the second round as well.

Much length! I once had a job that involved 100-plus ten-year-olds in a giant field at the bottom of a hill playing tag. It was an environmental residential camp; for the game we’d split the kids into hawks, snakes, frogs and flies. Flies had to run away from everybody; frogs could catch flies but had to run from snakes and hawks; snakes fled hawks. Hawks were the apex predator. To start...

Boy among men. The French basketball club SIG Strasbourg will take the court Tuesday evening (Tuesday afternoon for us in the U.S.) against ASVEL in Game 1 the Pro A semifinals. Normally we Knicks fans would not give much of a crap about a French pro league game, but this matchup will feature possible draft pick Frank Ntilikina. I won’t go so far as to predict today’s winner, but I will...

Can the four-year guard have success after Villanova? Stat check: How many headlines used some variation of “Hart” in a pun about Josh Hart’s competitiveness? Someone get back to me on that. Nevertheless, Josh Hart is undeniably a max-effort player on the court. How far can that effort propel a player in the NBA? How far did it take Hart in the college game? Did his ferocity and motor mask...

To that end, they have invited UNC forward Justin Jackson to work out at their own facility next month. Per Marc Berman: North Carolina junior swingman Justin Jackson will bring his championship résumé...

Krause’s Bulls tormented the Knicks; his protege is tasked with rebuilding them. Hall-of-Fame GM Jerry Krause has something of a complicated legacy with Knicks fans. The former Bulls executive, who was elected to Springfield a few days after his death earlier this year, largely built the teams which tormented New York throughout the ‘90s. But he also engineered the trade which landed the...

The interest must be serious! Knicks team president Phil Jackson has been far more conspicuous during the lead-up to this year’s draft than even in 2015, when New York had a higher pick. First he attended the Combine workouts in person for the first time in his Knicks presidency, and on Thursday he attended a private workout for potential pick Malik Monk. Per Ian Begley: Knicks...
