I said Other, meaning I'd rather have Russell Westbrook.

Bayless is short tweener scoring guard. This draft is too important to spend the pick on a player like that.

I like Westbrook's tenacity, work ethic, defensive ability, athleticism and I think he has a higher ceiling as a PG.

it seems like you are not the only one... so far in the pre-draft camps, he is drawing rave reviews.... He may be the lottery sleeper...


I love Westbrooks athleticism and defensive abilities, but he too is not the pure pg we've all been clamouring for. He has no experience running a team and his ball handling and range are very suspect. If we want to take a chance on a pg propect and Bayless/Mayo are off the board, I'd rather trade down and take a shot at Augustine all the while getting another pick.

We haven't even gotten rid of Marbury yet and we are already getting his clone?

If you continue to view Westbrook tape--I can see him as a guy who can bring the ball up and get 4-5 assists but his best position is the same position that Monta Elis plays 2G.

Yeah, I'm not sold on him as a PG but I think he has a chance to make it at that position based on his work ethic and consistent improvement.

If nothing else, he's the kind of player that makes good things happen when he's out there, on both ends of the floor.

If we are using the mentality to get the best available then take him. But I don't like him because it is like taking another Stephon Marbury a combo guard who isn't a true point which we need desperately.

I think if Mayo is available you have to take him with the pick more than Bayless. Mayo is supposedly 6'5'' and to me that give him a position on the floor as a sg. The Knicks can then make a move like trading Crawford to Toranto for TJ Ford. This would give the Knicks a solid backcourt of Mayo and Ford. If the Knicks can't get that deal done then you aready have a combo guard type in Crawford who probably can man the pg position and Mayo probably can do it too. It would work out better for Knicks to take Mayo if available only because it opens up better options to the team.
