He's longer than Harrelson with more post moves and a pure shot. He's taller with longer arms and looks more mobile. Harrelson is undersized

yeah man, I thought about it, this guy does have a great form, and you are correct with everything you said.
We can never have enough shooters, especially when they have other skills.
He does have good size, post moves, much more agility than Jorts, and a great form to that wet shot.
I thought he might be available, falling out of the draft, with only 1 site in all the mock drafts I have been looking at.
But he is a steal in the 2nd round, regardless, not worth taking that risk with this guy's potential.

a breed of

Kaman, Jorts, Okur, and Ryan Anderson

Still need to cut down on roster spots, making a choice between, Jorts and Jordan.
Knicks spend so much % on Jordan's buyout and I want to watch Jorts succeed in NY, that is why I was unsure of this kid.
But I cannot deny his skills, potential, and his great form/wet shot, with his size/skills/ and agility.

Kevin Martin/Novak

Wouldn't use our pick on him but would be another shooter to play Novak's role if we are unable to keep him.
I guess add him to the list of players that might go off the board and not drafted.

I would have been happy if we were to got 3 players out of the draft, this is just a few players that could contribute, and develop with our squad that fills a hole/need.

DJO
Scott Machado
Tu Holloway

Hollis Robinson
Alex Young
William Buford

John Shurna
Tony Mitchel
Kevin Jones

Justin Hamilton
Henry Sims

1) which players do you think we should let go on our roster?
2) which players should we target in FA?
3) Which undrafted players do you feel could be steals?
4) Which positions do we have to upgrade?

Well I wouldve taken DJO with what was there--what exactly is my downside? What Grunwald said--no one could make the rotation --who cares--its a 2nd round pick--why not give the most athletic kid in the draft a chance? La did.
