Jason kidd had a wp-48 of .231 ranking him the third best pg in the league. WOW is a joke at times. After January Kidd had a TS% of 43.2 and made the team worse offensively.

Jason Kidd was playing really good there for a bit of time--and then fell off the page. I think at 40 if its a back injury youre done. His collapse was quick and aggressive.

Knicks draft watch: Point Guard Myck Kabongo

Now that Jason Kidd has gone from donning a jersey to wearing a suit in less than a week, and Pablo Prigioni is still weighing his options, there's suddenly a big void behind starting point guard Raymond Felton.

The Knicks will likely look to remedy that situation during the June 27 NBA Draft, either with their No. 24 pick or perhaps by buying back into the second round, since they currently don't have a second-round pick.

Should they look at point guard with their pick, there's one guy who said he's anxious to come in and try to fill the considerably large role of the first lead guard off Mike Woodson's bench -- former Texas Longhorns star Myck Kabongo.

Kabongo, whose first name is pronounced like "Mike," is a Toronto native whose unique spelling rivals his unique speed. The sinewy point guard is as quick as any player with the ball currently in the league and feels like he can actually raise the competitive nature of a veteran-laden Knicks' team that must know their window for winning is closing quickly.

"I'll definitely bring a competitive nature because I'm a competitive guy. I love competing every day," said Kabongo at the Knicks' facilities after a recent workout. "I can change speeds that can very much affect the game at this level ... [and] once I learn from the great coaches and players at this level, I'll be even better."

Kabongo, projected as a late first-round or early second-round prospect, is a pass-first lead guard who has the ability to score, much like Felton. He averaged 14.6 points, 5.5 assists, and 5 rebounds per game as a sophomore last season, despite missing 23 games due to an NCAA-sanctioned suspension.

The 6-foot-1 guard was big enough to finally admit his mistake -- he apparently wasn't forthcoming to the NCAA on two separate occasions when he denied accepting airfare and personal training instruction with a trainer who was hired by an NBA agent -- and is ready to move on from the incident. His mea culpa was just another step in his maturity, as the incoming rookie said he's now looking to do whatever he can to show he belongs on a roster that is brimming with experience.

Kabongo added that while he's disappointed he'll never get to call Kidd a peer or teammate, he'll settle for trying to fill his shoes.

"My eyes teared up," he joked when asked if he wanted to be able to call Kidd a teammate. "But what J.Kidd did for the league and for his position ... amazing. The things that he's done in 19-something years, it's sad [to see him retire], but at the same time it's an opportunity."

where did you see this?

it was in the la La Times. They had a workout with all of the non lottery PGs Green Larkin Wolters Canaan Kabongo early this week.

Some believe that #24 may be a reach for him... but I think he may go before the Knicks select. smh.. I actually like his upside better than most of the point guards projected ahead of him!

Id prefer Isiah Cannan. I thought about taking him 21 in the mock--take a look at the physical shape this guy is in right now on the new videos. He really does look like a young Tim Hardaway--he is put together. But the bottom line is there really is a plethora of PG's in this draft that will make the NBA way down into the 2nd round and even undrafetd. I think the KNicks will take Erick Green or Larkin if they are there.

Knixkik wrote:If you are looking for 1 player who will likely be available in the 20s and can have the largest impact right away, maybe even start, its Reggie Bullock. 6'7 F/G athletic shooter/defender/finisher. Guy has Danny Green written all over him. There are other guys like Muscala, Mitchell etc who have better upside, but Bullock would potentially start next to Melo at the 3 next season. Not necessarily my first choice, but he's a guy that helps you right away and will likely be a sleeper. He's one of the only wings i am interested in.

There are many good choices--its a much better draft sans the top spot than people were purporting. The NBA finals will make guys like Bullock Crabbe a few more dollars in the draft. Hes a darkhorse pick for the Knicks for sure. I think they said he made 30 consecutive 3 pt shots while shooting for the kNicks. I still believe 1 and 4 are the main spots we need help in. Kidd is done my guess is Prigioni is gone and then we have to be lucky with al of that cap space out there for a pro PG back up.
