First off I’m giving us pick 7

I’m
Pick 7 Aaron Nesmith
I took him between the choices of Saddiq bey and Nesmith. I have 0 interest in an alpha point guard in Cole Anthony of another tall developmental pg. It came down to this— he’s the best shooter in this draft. He’s like picking Allan Houston again abd Allan Houston in today’s nba is a weapon. He automatically makes Barrett better abd spaces the floor out for everyone. He’s our new Klay Thompson
No brainer my pick slits to starting 2 guard

If I can pull off anything in the draft including trading 27 38 and Knox for a pick for bey I’d do it but I don’t think it’s Realistic Pick 27 Payton Pritchard He’s my sleeper pick. He’s a future solid nba player. I think he has more nba upside than people think. He weighs 200 but he’s still athletic for the size. Great shooter great passer sturdy defender incredible handle
Pick 38 Cassius Stanley best athlete in draft nice ceiling pick at 38

I think you're overpaying Woods, but that plan is reasonable. Seventh is too high for Nesmith, so I'm hoping that us getting him means we traded down and gained a few more assets.

Really really hard to say move back in the nba draft— it’s hardly ever done.
We really don’t need another not very athletic 6-5 pg picked mid lottery — we already have one.
The odds of getting a top 2 pick is not worth talk about if we’re talking realism.
So WHAT do the Knicks need the most? We really need both efficient and quality 3 point shooting. If Nesmith can shoot anywhere near what he did at Vanderbilt those 15 games — he’s a weapon. For me it’s a choice between bey and nesmith. I would live a scenario to get both but these guys will both rise in the draft making it impossible to get both. I think Nesmith is a little more athletic and his shot is smoother. It’s almost like picking Allan Houston or Mike Redd. We have a slasher in Barrett— we need a shooter like Nesmith. Oh and Pritchard is also one helluva shooter. Stanley is not bad either. It would be a nice haul. Get rid of the flash players and bring in the pure shooters. We don’t need Halliburton or Hayes if we believe in Frank. Nesmith would help Frank to— big backcourt

Free agency is all about over paying. I’m fine with paying Wood

NOt a Nesmith expert but he isn't ranked close to 7th in any of the mocks I have seen. Draftnet has him going to the Knicks with their second first round pick, tankathon has him going 18, Wasserman has him going 14th and the Stepien doesn't have him in their top two tiers (11 players).

The new yahoo mock has Nesmith going 7th. Most I’m seeing now have him firmly in the second half of the lottery 7-14 range. I think he ends up being 6-10. With this being a weak draft at the top I think finding a high level wing shooter is worth it for a team not thrilled about the lack of upside in this draft. I love Nesmith and Haliburton in this draft because I see their skill sets translating to quality high level role players. Nesmith has some buddy Hield upside and the floor is probably still a joe Harris type or close to it.

If we pick 6-7-8 and Wiseman is gone— I’m 100% on Naismith. Great body perfect skill and fit for our team
