He would have to drop far enough.

Really interesting player. I wrote previously he reminds me of Brogdon. Plays for Mike Woodson and is repped by CAA so Knicks will dig into him.

You right on Brogdon and I forgot about Woods hookup

Looks like a great prospect, size-wise and passing ability. his shot is a little flat and he plays from the outside

where do you have him pegged?

draft.net has him 18
tankathon has him 12

So yeah... might need to be a trade up scene

He was a lot later last time I checked

Looking for a Deuce replacement? Hope exec doesn't see this.

You were close about Orlando. 5th worst record. But it's only a 4 team race.

27.) Charlotte: 15-41 (L5).
28.) Spurs: 14-41 (L10).
29.) Detroit: 14-42 (L3).
30.) Houston: 13-42 (L4).

I think it's blatantly obvious these 4 teams are losing and tanking on purpose for Victor Wembanyama. Because there's no way a coach as great as Gregg Popovich (with his knowledge and his basketball IQ) could ever lose 10 in a row (by accident).

I don't blame them either. Because I've never seen a basketball prospect like Victor Wembanyama before. When I'm watching his highlights? I don't know if I'm watching Steph Curry, Greek Freak, Hakeem Olajuwon, Yao Ming or Dikembe Mutombo? Unreal.

I personally would've guessed heading into the season Sacramento would've finished with the worst record but the Kings have shocked me. 31-23. The 1 year they were supposed to stink, they blew it.

Kris Murray and Taylor Hendricks are 2 guys who can shoot, rebound and offer a little rim protection too. Neither has shot creation ability to be a star. But as a backup PF to Randle on a thibs team they both make some sense. Murray will move a lot without the ball and grab rebounds. He will spot up and hit open shots. Hendricks isn’t quite as ready but offers more upside and rim protection as a hybrid forward.

You know Knicks will trade back like 3 times so you'd better give us enough choices for 2 late first round picks, 1 second round selection, and 2 stashes

And that’s a bad thing?

We need to draft BPA

This isn't the NFL.

by the time you get to the low 20s, it's a guessing game.

Teams typically place players into tiers. So once you get later in the draft there’s probably multiple players viewed similarly. I understand BPA but Knicks also need to account for a player that has a path to development here.

This...

When you get into the 20s its not like you have guys that much separated from one another. Maybe you do have a player or two you REALLY think stand out, and that's find, but BPA is a different animal once you get out of the top of the draft.

I wouldn't say that. It's just that every teams player ratings seem to diverge past the top 5. IQ is perfect example. A lot of teams had IQ as a second rounders and we had rated higher. It's more of guessing game for us sofa scouts, I'd say.

On the occasions I have to look at past 1st rounds, I'm almost never not impressed by the top 20 and even top 10 guys who's names I've forgotten in even just a few short years.

It's mostly art, not science.

You can say the same thing about QB drafting... Not taking shots at the Jets, but it is what it is.

I absolutely do...

QB evaluation is do for a quantum rethink.

Great QBs are made in the brain - how a guy sees 1.5 seconds into the future and unconsciously makes his arm place a ball in the right place 1.5 seconds in the future.
