Sidy Cissoko. Late first round pick so far, starting to put things together.

Intriguing wing player.

I’m watching Duke and finally seeing Dariq Whitehead for an extended period healthy. He’s a good open shooter and defender. Has an RJ type body where he’s a bigger 6’7 that can probably fill out and play wing or even PF at the next level. The concern is the injuries. Still, he has a solid 3&D baseline, and there’s more to his game maybe. Someone may fall in love with him during the draft process but he’s currently available in the mid to late first in most mock drafts. He’s really young but there’s a need for his skill set as a bigger wing if the Knicks can develop him.

Additionally, he’s playing a fairly limited role right now with Duke and he’s been a great shooter on low volume. It sort of says he can translate to a low volume role in the NBA. So once he adjusts to the speed, I can see him in a role with the Knicks where he’s playing Toppin-type minutes, but he’s shouting 40% from 3pt on a couple of attempts per game, and giving good effort defensively. That’s sort of what this team can use in his earlier years.

Govony has him around our range. Like the raw tools, but still looks unpolished. His shot worries me.

Jackson davis. 24 points. 9 rebounds 7 assists 4 blocked shts 3 steals Who does that. His core basketball skill level is off the charts. He’s Antonio mcdyess but a better passer and defense is elite
I wouldn’t mind both Indiana players

Good to see he's coming along. Still doesn't look as fluid and athletic as he did in HS tho. Could be another AJ Griffin situation.

Have only watched his highlights but watching those I would be concerned that he’s using his physicality (mostly) to get his offense at the college level where he will struggle to have same success at nba level. Kind of like Saddiq Bey has struggled….but again have watched very little..

The overhyped early guys are more prone to boom or bust; and likely bust
