So low floor older players that are ready to contribute right out of the gate are Thibs thing. Ok, fine lest get him such a PG.

We drafted Ntilikina, its not like the front office has never invested in the pg position lmao.

Unfortunately, this draft does not have many lottery projected pgs. This is mostly a big man draft, so I don’t think it will happen this year.

Ty Ty might be available around 10 or 11. If we draft him, we should trade Quickley for a first round pick, and cut Kemba. Go with Rose, McBride, and Ty Ty as our point guards for next season, unless we sign Jalen Brunson. Hopefully, we can trade Burks this offseason and give his minutes to Grimes.

He is one the top prospects in Europe and I'm sure he can come in and be a backup. Not sure how he holds up athletically, but he has solid size, can shoot, is aggt going to the paint and can make consistently good reads off the PnR.

Which would be dumb, but typical Knicks. We should have continued to rebuild after 2019-2020 season. If we can somehow get into the top 5, we definitely need to keep the pick. That player has a chance to be more impactful than whatever player you have in mind, especially w hen you consider that the player we pick will be on a rookie deal and we do not have to give up anyone to get him.

That’s why I said we kind of suck when it comes to drafting. The guys we get r ok but the guys we miss have been incredulous. We’ve missed many game changers

I think we're okay with the latter firsts and second rounders, but I agree- the top ten picks have been beyond a joke

Well exactly. 8/9 seems to be out Achilles heal

I got it! Trade the 8th pick to the Miami Heat or SA Spurs so they can make their PG selection. After they pick - trade them 2 #1 draft picks so we can have their selected pick traded back to us. That way we'll end up with a good pick :)
