Ultimateknicks.com Forums: Pick 34

Love this pick!!!!! Early is a legit 1st round talent, was hoping he would drop to us. Lethal mid range game and tremendous athlete. Played in a great system...and if anyone watched the Kentucky game in the tournament, after Randle, he was the best player on the court. Love this pick....

definetly a great value pick. If larkin is healthy and can live up to his first round selection then this Mavs trade might be a major robbery

Not particularly familiar with him, but the comparison was James Posey. Honestly, not bad. Looks like we got good value and someone who can be one of your top 8-9 rotation players. That's really all you can ask for.

Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

Seeing his name I think Clean-Anthony hearing it sounds like Clay-Anthony. Seems like we are
Getting props on this pick

Bring back dee-fense

Jackson said it best "Well, we want to send a message to all of our players that we are on the move and we are making changes and we are making changes to move forward in the direction that we want to go," Jackson said. "We want to be more aggressive defensively, we want to have a certain sense of offensive alacrity, getting up and down the court and challenging defenses to get back and protect the basket ." I love the pick we are loaded at guard though..What will we do...i know shumpert/ HArdaway/ Early/Murray not goin anywhere

I am no college basketball expert but I love this pick. One of his strengths are athletic ability and fastbreak basketball. Him and Hardaway will work wonderfully on fastbreaks!! I am liking the moves Phil has made so far.

He's intriguing. Thought he resembled something of a tweener but he's explosive, tall and can shoot, which are all qualities that will make him a player with staying power.

A slight alteration, and all the Anthony jerseys we have in stock can be saved!

ESPN actually seemed to praise our pick for once. I haven't quite figured out how to react to that.

does this make it more likely that Shump is gone?

I don't see what this pick really has to do with Shump? Shump is a SG/SF defensive specialist. Early is a SF/PF scorer. There's no reason they can't play together.

Now the joy of my world is in Zion How beautiful if nothing more Than to wait at Zion's door I've never been in love like this before Now let me pray to keep you from The perils that will surely come

They also praised our picks when we took Michael Sweetney, Maciej Lampe and Slavko Vranes. I'm not sure it means anything.

Shump would have been gone already. OKC wanted him for one of their picks and the clippers were offering their pick and barnes. I love Shump but he has to bounce back. I love the eraly pick but i would have also love a first rounder is this deep draft class

I was ****ing thrilled with that Lampe pick. He's seemed to have a good career over seas. Shame he never panned out here.

can he defend the perimeter on the nba level-- any lateral quickness? on paper too small to defend the post.

does he have a motor and does he devote himself to conditioning?

he HAS TO be able to defend wings with "alacrity."

knicks win 38-43 games in 16-17. rose MUST shoot no more than 14 shots per game, defer to kp6 + melo, and have a usage rate of less than 25%
