I saw 3.5 games. I saw 0 of the first game with Philly

The open best free agent player was Dwight Buycks that I saw--hes an NBA PG. The second round pick from Orlando is going to be a helluva NBA player Osby. Okalahoma made such a mistake picking Adams in front of Olynck--they try to be tricky at times--and theyve picked well-but this was a collasol miss my bet. Olapido is real good and Orlaando is stacked with young stud athletic players. Olynck was the best player I saw today by far. I think I am going to be wrong on Gobert he is not going to be a bust. The two lottery pick guards were not good. Burke was very small. Looks like the Nets got a better Kris Humpheries back in Plumlee. Andre Drummond is going to be an NBA defensive player of the year soon--even though 1 year in he was one of the youngest guys playing today.

That Olynck guy has the chance to be what bargs should have been without being too finesse based. He can post, he can hit the mid range and he has good NBA 3pt range. I did not notice him being overly soft but he did not convert on some block shots that I think he could have had.

Olapido will be a good player. People said he could not shoot but he showed that he can to me. The defender went under the screen the first 3 plays and he hit 2 3's and a mid range shot on those plays. He is not a PG though. He can handle pressure dribbling but he won't break down the D in the PG role. He does not have PG vision. He will see the play develop a second too late. This is where most of his turnovers came from. He drives to the hoop well when he got it from a rebound or off a pass. he finishes very well once he gets to the hoop. He seems like a smarty player that will make the right decision more times than not when not playing PG.

Note to Knicks Buycks is worth a quick 475k with team options for the next 2 years following-- someone is going to give it to him. I didnt even realize he was the MVP of the French league until I just started reading about him. He looked like a lottery pick. Someone will sign him

Again I think Knicks should highly consider signing Buycks immediately. Hes kind of a long quick PG and hes really good. This guy is a perfect third PG for us--in fact I wish we did not sign Prigioni and kept the mini MLE open and signed this player. This is a savvy signing 3 years starting at 475 with team options. Hes the best PG in the SL lottery picks exsisting players this guy is the best and its not going to be a 1 game wonder if you watche dtoday. He can simply play a nice PG. Hes quick 6-3ish nice shot nice handle looks to be a nice passer can get to the rim and finish. He may have gone 4-5 in this draft.

Will be interesting if he can keep shooting that good from perimeter - I think he knocked down his 1st two or three from long range than I saw him bank one in by mistake from distance.

I liked him at point guard - he is right hand dominant but he can pass the ball, sees the floor and can get by people -- plus he can defend point guards. Not sure he can make that transition but if so - I think that would be his dominant position --- I think he's a bit small for SG and his jumper isn't particularly smooth (IMO).
