Yeah, that's why I can't go crazy. Once Coop is here, I'll feel better.

I like Sharife, but I would be surprised if we drafted a smallish pg for Thibs.


Thibs took lil Nate to great playoff heights. He'll love Coop.

Played in aac Didn’t play well against better teams. Very low percentage player. Tgis will be a wait and see. I don’t like what we did with 21 especially—- I think there were lottery picks that fell. We re getting too cutsie

What is something that Keon does that we need? He stinks endof

He has elite athleticism, is exceptional driving to the paint/good finisher and is a late bloomer as he started playing organized ball. Really reminds me of Spree and he plays super hard as a young player. Has all the physical tools and we have a coach that could have really helped develop him. Guess we'll never know :)

I'd say he reminds me of Devean George. He might not have thee highest upside, but he'll contribute.

Shot 40 pct on 3 with 100 3's made. He had a legit shot and led his team to the final 4

I'm just glad they didn't pick Cam Thomas.

Ehhh...Grimes was a combine surprise.

Have to go with our scouts, here...though the Obi pick still annoys me.

Any chance all 4 of Philly/Phoenix/Utah/Milwaukee passes on Cooper?


I'm scared he doesn't get past Philly (Simmons drama) and/or Phoenix (CP3 aging @ 36 years old).

Cooper is on the ****ing board and you take a Grimes. He's not that bad but I want more value than that come on man.
Yeah, I would've even preferred McBride. But no biggie.

I think reach at 25 (though Grimes at 25 is probably a reach too)

I think McBride is the pick at 32

Yeah, but you could say every pick after 3 has been a bit of a reach.

It’s been a crazy night, but our strategy has been all over the place.

Thinking McBride at 32 also…

You know I gonna spin wit it

Why does Obi pick annoy you?


At the time of the draft no Knicks fans ever imagined Julius Randle would become an NBA All-Star.


He backed up an All-Star PF....

Butler would be a perfect match for the Sun's.

Cam Thomas got some mommy issues. She's right behind Lavar Ball on helicopter parent...

Rokas pulled out. He'll be there next year.
