We don't want top picks cause they may be too good for the Knicks? WTF dude

lol Im not saying that--I have to wonder if Fox is too fast for KP and Willy--and maybe even the triangle. I prefer Fox myself.

still not making sense man!

The Knicks also like the Kentucky backcourt studs of Fox and combo guard Malik Monk. But Fraschilla said Fox, who will attend the combine, will be gone by the sixth slot. Under the lottery format, the Knicks can select either 7, 8, 9, 10 or 1, 2, 3.

Fraschilla added Fox “fits most systems’’ but indicated he felt his speedy ways would be wasted in New York.

According to Fraschilla, Ntilikina’s “ability to play multiple positions’’ makes the triangle “cater more to Frank’s versatility than Fox’s speed.’’

So you read this from Frasshilla and was repeating what he said. Just because Fraschilla said it doesn't make it true.

No I thought about this myself--and it reiterated it himself. It is possible that Fox plays to fast for the triangle--I think that makes some sense. I would take Fox personally.

Fraschilla is wrong about the Triangle being a Walk it up Half Court offense. Yes you can run it that way but you don't have to and Jeff is NOT running it that way.

Yeah i'm not sure everyone understands yet that Phil isn't making Jeff run the same triangle he ran. People still think we're gonna be playing the same system Phil ran with the Lakers.

Uhm that is exactly what we were running down the stretch of the season....full on triangle and Phil even commented that we tried to mesh the 2 concepts and that confused everyone. We are to to death for and run the triangle...yes as the Lakers ran it.

What does anyone know about Frank? Whats his vert? How does he look in drills? How does he look after a 60-90 minute workout? Frank is a basic mystery.

I mean if you polled OK4 vs. KP a couple years ago what would the vote have been? I am sure it would have been very pro-OK4, but that is of course because none of us really saw or knew about KP.

Frank could be the best player in the draft. He could be the Dirk type everyone passed on because they werent sure. We just dont know. Surely Fox is ranked higher, but its really just because he's a known commodity.

There is more videos on Frank?

The one thing that Frank has over Fox (and its big) is a jumpshot. In the modern NBA you have to put high emphasis on the ability to shoot. Thats not saying Fox cant shoot--but I think Frank's form is better. After that I think Fox is just as good of a defender is 2-3X better in terms of speed ability to separate finishing at the rim and better ballhandler. I think Fox is more of the natural PG although neither are great passers and neither has anything close to what Ball has in court vision. I think of Fox comes in and shows improvement on his J--he will be the superior pick.

Anyone read the Post article today where Frascilla says he watched Frankie knock down 27 of 30 3's last year in a private workout at Terminal 23 gym in NY.

I love Fox and I'm not sure Frank is really a pure PG or if he will stay at the point as his body fills out. But It doesn't take long to see Frank is made for the triangle because he will move/cut, can pass, handle, shoot and is unselfish.

I think Frank may grow into a SG down the road --- reminds me a little with his pace, hesitations and change of directions into a jump shot of young Joe Johnson.

I think Phil/Gaines might actually take Frank but damn it will be hard if we pass on Fox.

That is the line that got me 27-30 threes. How do you pass on a shooter like that in the modern age of NBA. Now I have to see it to believe it though.

Right, so it was just a coincidence that you made a post about Fox being too fast for the triangle and Fran just so happened to make that comment in an article before you did.....got it...lol

Some of the worst shooters can hit 3 pointers when they're practicing and not in actual games so i wouldn't let that make you think he's a lock down 3 point shooter. He does have a nice shooting stroke though and has been a good shooter but that doesn't mean he will be in the NBA. I like the kid and think he does everything good just not sure what he'll do great in the NBA.

Frank gives you more options because he could end up at both guard positions, and down the road, you might even have him guarding certain 3s when needed.

The FF article about his shooting was revealing...remember, a few years ago that was said to be a concern about his game. His form looks very good, and he has clearly worked on that aspect of his game.

I'll say it again...Fox, Isaac, and Ntilikina...I'd be happy with ANY of these guys, and I expect at least one of them to be available at 7.

But back to thread topic. If I had to choose....I would go with the player who is less of a risk. ...Fox. Then I would trade him for a package of a later pick and a proven NBA 2 or 3 year guy.

Is that you Scott Layden?

Yeah I agree the chances of one of these kids being there at 7 is high. Any of these guys would be a nice addition.

The only 100% guarantees to be gone by #7 are Fultz, Ball and J.Jackson and then i'd put J.Tatum as a pretty much guarantee to be gone by #7 so as long as we stay at #7 we'll have some good choices in M.Monk, D.Fox, DSJ, F.Nitkilina and J.Issac. I'm no draft guru and even they don't know which of these kids will be great, good or bad but we sure will have a good group to choose from so hopefully we hit the lottery with whoever we draft. Shyt hopefully we hit the lottery with whoever we draft with all 3 of our picks.

Nice problem to have.
