This team is so flawed with so many incomplete players, a good place to start is with solid overall players. If the team can get a 6'6" SG with a solid wingspan, solid lateral movement, and an efficient FG% without giving up assets, it's a need, and you take him

Let me guess. Lance Stephenson? Though it sounds as if you just described Sylvan Landesburg. Players with low suck potential at pick 38 or 39? Or just make an effort to bring back Marcus Landry and Bill Walker?

Though the best case for you would be Evan Turner I doubt NYK can pull that off.

while a defensive presence in the low post is needed, there are so many needs that picking a player by need would be too shortsighted. Unfortunately the NBA draft is before free agency, but this team needs as many assets as possible. The best bet is likely to acquire a big by trade

I don't really see much of an option that way. The good ones are signed and the ones left on the market are overpriced. Shall we continue trhen the NY way? to overpay for underachievers and continue the trend of the last 20 years? I'd prefer to waste 3 mill on a low first and take a chance on a big. You still need another thru free agency as well add the 2 second rounders and you have what 7-8? Still need what 12?

I'm unsure where I suggested that as an option.

Unless the Knicks can buy a first and package the second rounders with that pick for someone like Whiteside, I'd just assume draft the BPA and take a wait-and-see approach with the bigs. Hope for an in season acquisition a la Portland's trade for Camby

I do believe Zoubek and Ogilvie could be available at the least with the 38 or 39 perhaps Varnardo...but with no jumpshot on a D'Antoni squad the latter would be wasted I think.

Larry Sanders will protect the rim

Larry Sanders PF 21 years old, 6' 9" 205lbs. VCU

His legs are too short

-Hamady N’Diaye’s measurements surely won’t hurt him, coming out 6-10 ½ without shoes with a gigantic 7-6 wingspan (top 25 in our database) and a 9-3 standing reach. That, combined with his excellent motor, strong athletic ability and intriguing shot-blocking instincts should get him plenty of looks from NBA teams throughout the draft process, and could easily help him win an NBA roster spot when it’s all said and done.

Mikhail Torrance has fantastic size for a point guard, coming out at 6-4 without shoes with a near 6-7 wingspan. His measurements are nearly identical to Rodney Stuckey and are slightly superior to O.J. Mayo and Jrue Holiday.

Another player who will be helped by his impressive measurements is Tulsa’s Ben Uzoh—at 6-2 ¾ without shoes with a 6-9 wingspan, which is the largest of any of the point guard prospects at the camp. Combine that with his fantastic leaping ability and strong overall athletic ability and you have a very impressive prospect from a physical standpoint. Uzoh still has plenty of wrinkles to iron out in his game, but he’s definitely someone NBA teams will be keeping close tabs on. His measurements are similar to that of Antonio Daniels, just better.

If a stat existed for “wingspan to size ratio,” the leader from this Portsmouth class would surely be Vermont’s Marqus Blakely. Measuring a shade under 6-5 without shoes, Blakely possesses a freakish 7-1 wingspan, which when combined with his NCAA dunk-contest winning athleticism, helps explain why he was such an awesome rebounder, shot-blocker and ball-thief in college. For comparison’s sake, Blakely’s arms are just as long or longer than players like Joakim Noah, Al Horford, Drew Gooden and Charlie Villanueva. While his offense clearly has a long ways to go, his physical attributes, intensity level, versatility and above average basketball IQ (he also averaged nearly 4 assists per game) makes him someone to keep an eye on for the future, possibly as a Luc Richard Mbah a Moute type prospect.
