I don't get that logic, being that we got so much out of Fields!!! There are certainly some of these kids that can contribute next year right away. We're mostly talking about role playing. They don't have to carry the team. |

1) Nikola Vucevic
2) Iman Shumpert 3) Jeremy Tyler 4) Marshon Brooks 5) Darius Morris if any of the above fall first, would pick them up first, might grab to Centers but not 2 pgs. Charles Jenkins Not sure about "Brazilian Camby" he looks like a boy among men. He looks great in youtube highlights, but saw the interview and he looks like he has a lot of maturing to do on and off the court. Think NYC would be too hard for him for his age. On the court he looks like he can be what we need defensively, because he also has a tough buyout in Europe, I have mixed feelings about him... but depending on what # the pick would be, if a 2nd rounder, who might still be on board, I might roll the dice on him anyway. |

He sounds very immature at this point, and seems to have a somewhat elevated opinion of himself, but if he stays in the draft he might be someone to consider. He might also be perfect for our DL team. No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities- C.N. Bovee

Biggest concern is his D, but I think he is smart enough to improve his game over time.) I have to add Klay Thompson if he does end up in play at 17. Seems a great fit offensively... but we still need a big man. And though I'm not willing to take Tyler at 17, I would hope that Walsh could pick up a late #1 or early #2 and take a shot at him No man is happy without a delusion of some kind.

Only difference is I'd be more willing to take Tyler(or Biyombo, Vucevic or whatever bigman is left) at 17 if we can get that extra pick. For the most part, I don't see that big of a drop in talent from some of the guards slated for the late first round and some guys projected in the second round. Of course, that opinion could change if the draft goes crazy and a few players start dropping. DraftX has us picking Alec Burk at 17. I don't see that happening, but we'd have to take him if he's there. The same goes for Donatas Motiejunas. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

I actually like this draft. It's not a sexy draft at the top, but all the way thru the draft you can see some solid players to add to the team. Drafts are so much more fun when you aren't looking for a franchise player. I can almost see Donnie taking a big like Vucevic at 17 and then buying a pick to take a kid like Shumpert or Jenkins. I hope i'm not getting my hopes up for Donnie getting a 2nd pick.

I hope i'm not getting my hopes up for Donnie getting a 2nd pick. Not a deep draft, but definitely wide. The top four seems real solid, but after that, there's drop off. I'd say from five on it's an optimal draft to trade down. The idea martin threw out there with trading for the Bulls picks seems a lot better to me now, and I suspect it would appeal to the Bulls who already have depth... they just need a decent SG and that should be available at our pick DLeethal wrote:

I hope i'm not getting my hopes up for Donnie getting a 2nd pick. I agree with everything you said. This is a feel-good draft for us and a lot of fun because we aren't looking for a franchise changer like we have every year we've had a pick. We are just looking for a piece to the puzzle. It would be great to find a starter, but at least a rotation player is a must. Klay Thompson is still my top pick, but Shumpert, Vucevic, and Brooks are very intriguing to me. I love being in this situation where we have the stars in place, and are just looking for picks that fit the plan moving forward. |

I hope i'm not getting my hopes up for Donnie getting a 2nd pick. agree with this. i would be thrilled if our draft wound up being vucevic and a guard. or jeremy tyler and a guard. we need a big and a guard. here's my revised top 5: 1) darius morris i'm less sold on the idea to bring in a chris singleton or klay thompson - i think the knicks are fine at the swing positions - they need help at 1 and 5. ¿ △ ?
