Kemba. Jimmer is tough, is the better shooter, has unlimited range, but plays no defense at all and I dont think he has NBA speed.

Kemba NBA quick, tough great mid range shoot, clutch and plays hard on both ends. u can learn to shoot, u can't learn to be NBA fast.

Also, shooting is a point of weakness for us, perimeter D and dribble penetration is.

Neother is a true PG, but Kemba seems tp have a lil more PG in him, imo.

Kemba IMO will flourish more in NBA

He reminds me so much of Allen Iverson


Jimmer might be a better JJ Reddick

i'd take kemba. he has a way better handle than the JIMMER and, while he doesn't have the intergalactic range than jimmer has, can still hit the NBA 3. he is also faster and i just love the way he plays.

i think the "jimmer doesn't play D" stuff is unjustified. he explicitly was told by BYU coaches to not get into foul trouble and expel less energy on D because so much of their offense relied on him. i think he will really excel in the NBA with better teammates around him and less of a burden on him to always need to score.

if steph curry can be an effective NBA player and starter, i don't see why the jimmer can't, their games are practically identical (and i'd say jimmer is a better shooter!).

i think kemba is the more complete package. to be honest, jimmer is good, but how many shooters in college have we seen fizzle in the nba? while his jumpshot is good enough to make the pros, the rest of his game is just not there.

Tough call. I know he doesnt show it but kemba is actually a very good PG(like how he played against Bucknell)I think his athletic ability might separate them but jimmer is NO slouch and will be a very good NBA player at some point.

really?

stef curry was better at this point than the jimmer? reddick?

jimmer's got a good enough handle. his J is just unconscious.

look if eddie house is in the NBA, there is a spot for jimmer at the very least as an 8th or 9th guy off the bench to drain some 3s.

"Kemba and Jimmer" sound like two Disney cartoon characters!

kemba would run this offense pretty damn nice if you ask me...

i agree with that part smooth. especially in mda's system. also, i think you can make an argument that both curry and reddick were equally valuable to their teams.


but, the question i was responding to was who would you rather have....and i still think that answrr is an easy one...kemba. the knicks dont need another shooter, we need a floor general and a big. kemba would be a pretty good floor general for the type of team the knicks are now.

I'd take Kemba. I have a bad feeling about Jimmer, please see Adam Morrison. Regardless, both will probably be off the board by the time the Knicks pick.

I would take Kemba Walker, but I don't think we will get the choice. Though if Kemba had a year to learn from Chauncey, I think he will be a phenomenal player.

As for Freddette, I get the feeling he is NY bound, but I expect him to me more like a Reddick than a Morrison. I think he is more athletic than Morrison ever was. And think Fredette will surprise people at the combine and may not be on the board by the time we draft.

Both are great and bring good things. Cant lose either way. Fredette is an impact player sooner but Walker's all around game probably gives him more upside. Both guys are tough heady players. I would be happy with both

Kenneth Faried. Seriously, he's a rebounding machine and plays great post defense. He's be perfect.

Eh, I think that 6'8 225 is a little small for PF in the NBA, but he has a role on a team (maybe even this team) but I think 17 is higher than where he goes in reality.

Googled a few 2011 mock drafts and one had the Knicks winding up with Jonas Valanciunas.

Others have him going as high as #3 overall. If he's there, I'd take him over anyone mentioned above.
