I like that he's big

Knick interest was noted in a Jake Fischer reference about the Knicks wanting to move 1 of their 2 top picks - though not sure that actually came from Fischer or someone else. I went and looked at about 10 minutes of his tape and there is stuff to like. Big +6'5" ball handling guard who has a nice bounce to his game with hesi's, euro's - just a well rounded looking feel for the game. Doesn't look like an outstanding athlete but maybe more in the Nano De Colo or Sergio Lull type game.

Someone with size who can handle and play off/with Brunson.

Not sure if Knicks looking at PG's but watching some tape of the Stanford freshman PG Ebuka Okorie out of Maine (avg 23 per game this season). Just watching him and the name that popped into my head was Hot Rod Strickland. Kid is super talented with the ball and fearless (but super creative) attacking the rim. Shows him at +6'2" but under 190 lbs -- but very creative (downhill with the ball). Talkathon has him #24 on their big board.

De Larrea was mentioned a week or so ago by Fischer in association with Knicks --- I like his size and his film. Big, ball handling guard with vision, passing and understanding/feel for the game. Think his 3fg% was ~39% in limited minutes.

Stash him - save ~$3M under apron and let him develop MAYBE into something.

I like it TBH.

me too. I never heard of the guy until about a week ago and mentioned him in some of the threads. Young tall can handle the ball and shoot

we needed size back there.

YEP +1 on the above comments.

I trust our scouts. They've done a good job so far.

Going overseas to grab undervalued talent is a good strategy

Our international players for the moment are Mo, Dadiet, Huk, Sochan and this new guy

I'm with this guy ☝️

SMOOTH IMO

Reminds me of Derrick white a little. Nothing flashy. But effective

Guy looks like a legit first round prospect from the scouting reports, vids and even projections (supposedly CLE had their eyes on him).

Savvy move if he is stashed and we do run it back somehow (hope that everyone that has to takes the pay cut to keep the champs together.

Randle literally being dumped with Minn having to add a higher pick in the deal is just pure I don't know what.

Minny needed more $$$ so moved out of the 1st BUT still they basically are counting on addition by subtraction with Julius spin move going to BKLYN.
