Glad people here are not drafting for the Knicks. So much of the commentary here seems to be out of fear about what a guy is not rather than hope for what he will become. This pick needs to be a building block to future years, not the whole solution for next year. KP would be a solid pick at 4, so would Okafor and Russell. Mudaiy s=ems like more of a risk. I like WCS but would not use the 4 on him ......so would trade down to get him at a lower spot.

This is somebody that was bound for greatness....As Barkely said, he was 19 years old, taking it to Scotty Pipen, one of the greatness defenders. While Porzingis can't dominate guys that will never even smell the NBA. I'm not saying he won't be great, but I'm just saying.....pump the breaks a little!

Think about this....how come a guy that shot 40% 2 pters......and 30% 3 pters......had such a great shooting display in his video.
Basketball is physical, it's not just talent. Thats why the knicks of the 90's were just as good as any team in the NBA. But skill wise, they were very low. This guy has low percentages once the game starts because he's not physical enough to impact the game....Even in the Euro league. Thats a main things most Euro guys have to overcome, or they will be back in their native land, regardless of their skill set. Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland.

I don't see how a player that has been in top 4 of the draft for over 2years is more a risk than Prozingis. Prozingis is the flavor of the week. |

Actually I think Proz has a better chance of being Dirk than Mudiay matching any of those guys. At least Prozi has similar positive similarities as Dirk. The only similarity I see regarding Mudiay and the players you listed is that none of them are shooters. Mudiay isn't in the same league as those guys. People say he is a better passer but how do you know. High school hype means very little and the comp he faced in China is not highly regarded. All, you can do is trust your scouting regardless of Euro or stateside player. Prozi is not a flash in the pants workout guy, he is a prospect that has been evaluated for years and was a potential lottery guy last year. His only problem is he did not gain the weight people thought he would. If he did that he maybe would have been seen as a the number 1 guy all along. The weight gaining issue is a red flag but I am sure they can do there do diligence medically and researching his background to see if that is an issue. It could be just a lack of emphasis by his club team. |

That's been proven over and over, including this year.I think committing to the tank and moving out guys that weren't a part of the future showed management will be patient. Fans and posters might not be but do you draft to please your fan base or improve your team. I think Phil has the backbone to take criticism if he drafts Kristaps and it takes a year or two for him to fulfill his potential. Yeah, you can't hype Phil as his on man and now suddenly think he will do things to appease fans. How silly would it be If his team do their homework and feel a player is the best choice but picks a player ranked lower? That's just dumb. I could see if he was someone they didn't scout but it seems like they put in work on most of the top players like they should in a tank season. Look long before his work out teams have been hyping Kristaps. This is not some new thing. DO I have doubts? Yes, but I have doubts on Mudiay, Stein, Kaminsky, and etc. Mudiay can't shoot and is not an elite athlete, Stein doesn't dreb and lacks Offense, and Frank is a lightweight old guy who beasted against kids. |
