I think he's like a Ghostbusters or something...always swiping and jumping into thin air on defense...well he's our guy.

guy can be a star.... perfect fit for the young guys. Inside outside game. Can shoot it and fly to the rim. Monster scorer out of the box. Amare/LJ caliber scorer. Put him next to Mitch and you have one of the most athletic above the rim front courts duos around, and obviously their lack of offense/defense compliment each other nicely

I could not be more thrilled with Obi at pick 8. We did lost the lottery and got lucky.

I see a guy with the highest potential in the draft - look at what he brings to the table

I wouldn't say highest potential, but he's the safest pick. I don't have any doubts about him getting dem buckets. But he needs to improve big-time on D just to become mediocre.

I think so too. He is NBA ready and looks like Amar’e on both ends minus the knee problems.

Look, he will be a scorer but if he plays defense like he did in college, he is going to get booed off the floor. His defense was abysmal. Maybe Tibbs can help him and I acknowledge that he is a solid scorer. As an older rookie, he should be in the running for rookie of the year but I cannot get behind him unless he improves his defense.

So we still have Nesmith, Haliburton, Vassell, Lewis, Saddiq Bey left. Hopefully they don’t all get taken!

Thats where he has to play. He can't guard any other position

Couldn’t agree more you don’t pass on a talent like obi, he’s going to be a star. Defense can be learned with effort . Plus the nba is all about offense now .

I'm thankful that there's people pissed at the Knicks draft pick. Makes 2020 feel normal again.

We had Chris Wilcox on the roster, at the time. Hill had the same exact game as Wilcox. We dont have anyone like Toppin at PF. The closest player is Mitch, and hopfully he will end up being Obi's wingman,for years to come.
