This guy isnt going to do a dam thing in the NBA. Why do people insist on talking themselves into hyping garbage picks.

These guys will not sniff the court.

And picks 40-the last will?

those guys seemed like they could be added as udfa's.

I agree that it's possible, but who knows. The second round, especially, is a crapshoot. I just think you guys have different goals than the Knicks management. If we don't get LeBron and Bosh, I think these picks are not very good. If we do, I think the picks make sense. These moves tell me that the Knicks are pretty confident, because they intentionally drafted role players, not high-ceiling projects.

lance/sylvan/zoubek/etc werent capable of being role players though?

It's possible that they'd be decent. I was just highlighting that center wasn't the only need and we don't really know what else might be in the works. There were centers available, but I can't say I was fully sold on any of them.

Always good to be super negative.

Anyway, on a team with four players under contract, where we're potentially in the situation of signing two max players, one veteran and then filling up with NBA minimum contracts, you think these two guys have zero chance of sniffing the court. OK.

Simple put these are wasted picks. Do you see the picks Miami made? Do you see the picks the Nets made?

Lebron must be dying to play with Douglas.

We needed some guys with upside. Willie Warren and Lance Stephon were guards with upside. We got neither. I have been watching the Knicks for awhile now. I know where this is going.

I feel much better now. This means Andy Rautins and Landry Fields will be better players.

Fields can score bottom line. He's a smart player who's team had a relatively poor year. But this guy wasn't hoisting shots to lead the conference in scoring. He shot 49%. He was also 2nd in the conference in rebounding and a top 20 player in the draft in terms of getting steals. I think its just a guy that flew under the radar that can play the game.

The more i read about Fields the more i like.

HAHA! Yeah that guy was awesome..

BRIGGS wrote:My only comment is I think we couldve filled some needs and possibly got both of these players after the draft--it is the 2nd round but I think the strategy was poor.

How I look at it too. I wanted us to sign Routins after the draft. You had Jordan, Alabi, and Torrance, as well as Stephenson and Warren (who I am not a fan of) available.

I hope that Donnie knows about something we are unaware of.
