I'd say!

Picking at the end of the draft stinks. At least if the pick was in the 30s. Maybe we can find a PG like Chalmers or another serviceable player like Jorts. But all in all nothing to really get excited about unless we trade up using JJ3

I love the draft even on years when the Knicks don't pick until late so I am still very excited. Also, there is a lot more mystery with a late pick as opposed to reports of who the Knicks are locked in. Think Positive.

I agree. I love the draft and hate when the Knicks pick late or don't have a pick but still enjoy the whole draft drama. And yes think Positive!

Well there's always a slim chance that we make a big move. I'll be watching and hoping

I'm still pulling for Scott Machado. A pass first pg who will benefit from playing behind Lin & Kidd

I like that idea. To have a pure point behind Lin that could be groomed for the future and play spot minutes here and there. Apparently, he shot 40% from 3 pt range so that's a plus.

I'll be happy with either Machado or DJO. The Knicks just have to find a kid that has NBA skills and can actually contribute. We're looking for good bench players and can fill a role, so I think there are several players that could fit that bill. IT's so much easier when you already have stars and just need to fill in with players that have a specific skill or overall skill that fills in the holes. I like DJO cuz he's got an edge to him and I really think that's gonna be the strength of the Knicks. We've got a lot of players that have an edgy game and will play strong on both ends. We've got to keep adding 2 way players to this roster.

I didn't like DJO because of his size but I have warmed up to him and I also like Machado. I'm also good with Kim English if he is there. My dream draft would be to trade up and steal Quincy Miller.

The only thing that could ruin my night is if Rivers or Drummond go to HOuston at 16. I believe Aldridge has Drummond going at 16.

No way in Hell Drummond lasts that long. I'd be shocked if he fell out of the top 10.

Does anyone know if the draft is being broadcast on radio? Unfortunately, I'm at work and can't watch.

I know Cleveland wanted Beal bad. Wonder if they trade with Washington.
