KP was not a media pick.

Winslow was the guy that many were saying the Knicks should've taken instead of KP! Thank goodness Phil listens to Gaines.

Phil deserves credit.

I mean so does Isaiah, it's not who you draft, its what you do once you draft the kid, which no GM/pres for the knicks have been good at in the last 20 yrs..

last i checked KP and Willy have been successful picks and big part of our future

In my book .. KP n Willy are still questionable, although i like Willy's hustle for playing-time minute more

I still like Winslow as our Big-Guard/SF .. a future 2-way player

Winslow was and is a very good player. I don't get this automatic status afforded to 20pt scorers as franchise players etc. I wanted Winslow too. I have no issues with us having picked KP, but I don't think that's a reason to make Winslow sound like a bad choice.

I don't think he is questionable at all. I'm not saying he is gonna be a superstar but he has already shown to be a good pick. I mean other than Towns he is probably the best out of that draft class.

Winslow is a nice project, but he would've been a bad pick at #4 overall. He is still young, but he's hard to keep on the court because of a lack of on an outside shot. He doesn't need to be a 20 point scorer, but he can't be a liability on offense. He's relegated to seventh of eighth on most depth charts until he can at least become a decent shooter.

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. - The Tick
