He's been a good shooter this season, but I question his defense and ability to create and attack closeouts. 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.

So expect more trading of our pic for a conditional future pic ? Or trade the pic for a young veteran along with Fournier and/or with Obi ?

If we get a pick between 11-14 from the Mavs I am trying to trade for Tari Eason from or another versatile young player who can play D. Offer the pic to Brooklyn along with a future pic or two for Cam, the one they got from Phoenix in a sign and trade with matching salary like Evan or Rose with Deuce. Or trade the pic with Deuce and Sims and contract match for Grant. This Dallas pick might come in handy. Along with Deuce and Sims. Plus Evans and Roses contracts. I think they extend Rose just to be able to trade his contract and he likely is an unofficial coach off the bench

I do think Knicks look to package pick(s) with players for a legit NBA player.
I keep thinking about Lou Dort because seems like Thibs would play him and he would improve our D. |

Watched UConn 2x over weekend hoping to be excited by J Hawkins for our pick but while he got hot a few times I came away thinking he can’t defend, is thinner than ideal, and he showed ZERO handle and drive game.
He also disappeared completely in the 1st half’s of each game - zero points combined. Lightening quick release but otherwise reminded me negatively of RJ Hampton |

Yeah he doesn’t really have much outside of the shooting unfortunately. Just hasn’t rounded his game as much as I was hoping. |

The 2 most Thibsy players in our draft range are Kris Murray and Colby Jones. Upperclassman, nba ready. Murray brings the shooting and rebounding and can play both forward spots. Jones is a wing who can handle the ball, defend, shoot and rebound. He’s this draft’s Grimes in terms of experienced player on a deep tournament team. And he’s very similar to both Josh Hart and Alec Burks. I can see Thibs loving a second unit of Quickley, Hart, Colby Jones, Barrett (playing 4 with the second unit) and Hartenstein. So much versatility, pace, and high activity.

I'll play devils advocate.......... Team can get lucky too in this draft and pick a stud who exceeds its draft position. It happens. Teams might also value a Grimes or IQ as they are bonafide at this level with upside. Team with a need might see it smart to trade down. For knicks to do so it will have to have a strong conviction on a certain player. Fans might hate this idea until it proves otherwise valid. That could take a while. Donovan Mitchell was a revelation from the get go but Giannis took a few years. |

The 6’8 freshman is a spectacular athlete and was able to impact the game without scoring.

The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

martin wrote: Whitehead is an interesting piece for the reasons mentioned. Knicks could swing for him as a higher upside player. Concern is he’s too much like reddish. But he’s at least a more proven shooter. Surprised no mention of Colby jones, although I could have missed it. Seems like a thibs pick. He’s having a great tournament and is so similar to Josh hart. Would give the Knicks another well-rounded wing, although not much upside. But he can easily turn into a Josh Hart/ Alec burks, Brogdon, Derrick white type multi-dimensional playmaking wing. If the Knicks are looking for a long term fit over Barrett, Whitehead is a swing at the fences though. Similar athletic profile, better shooter. |
