If you have been paying attention, Phil will never draft a player out of college with out 4 yrs of experience.. See early, see grant..plus he made it perfectly clear a while ago

so you can predict Phil's draft philosophy by the Early and Grant picks? And ignore KP... right...

Those are international players with several years of experience playing professional since they teens.

He knows he has a difficult system that requires a high IQ, and 1 and 2 yr AAU players is not his style

I would love that. I don't think we will be bad enough for Monk, but he would be a great fit. I think we get Fox or Ntilikina, or if we miss out on an elite PG, Miles Bridges has a ton of upside at SF with his athleticism, shooting, finishing, and passing.

It's too bad OG Anunoby (SF Indiana) got hurt cause he would of been a good pick for us.

KP was 19? The best players are the young guys---it doesnt take a rocket scientist--there are game changing players in this draft--if I were Phil I dump carmelo--right now all I want is a reasonable pick and his cap space and try to lose the last 29 games--we need to suck down the stretch conserve kp.

You can't dump a NTC contract dude, especially a star player going into his last leg.. Melo is not as stupid as phil. Obviously melo was smarter than Phil at the negotiations table
