Think this is a reason I would not pick Jalen Williams at 11. Just do not see him that much higher than this kid or a kid like Blake Wesley. Both who I feel can be had much later. Jalen to me just did not play against top college squads enough. He was also a junior. Had a decent shooting year from 3pt land but shot 27% the year before. Also feel a kid like Wesley has a higher ceiling and can at least separate from defenders. Jalen does have good court vision and would probably be more a god facilitator. But is that what an 11 pick should be? Feel we go with BPA. If no one there that the FO feel is worth it, move down.

Williams was the best player on the court in both days of the scrimmages and probably played himself into a first-round draft pick. He got to the basket with ease, shot the ball well and had some of the best finishes in transition. Defensively, he fought through screens to keep his man in front and was effective in help-side defense, shooting the gap for steals and tips.

That kind of shuts people up about what conference he played in. He was the best of the best at the NBA draft combine. We have a great chance to use 11 to get a player who already competed the best of NBA draft eligible constitutes

TWO scrimmages? You are saying that the Knicks FO will take scrimmages as a reason to stay with the 11 pick and choose Jalen?
Come on Briggs. I know you love throwing out long shots but no way the Knicks or any other team is going to move on the kid because of scrimmages.

Who said Halliburton is better than Kobe?

His mind. People said he was better than Obi, because he is, but no one said he is better than Kobe.

If Perry figures out how to get rid of randles stupid contract Obi will be better than Halliburton

I keep hearing Halliburton is better than Kobe yet he hasn’t been on a team that has won more than 31 games in a season so far.

and Obi is on one that won 37 games?
Or "Stupid Randle and his contract".

OK, lets let that go. Tell us where the Kobe thing fits in. Maybe use more words as the scramble thing you do migth make sense in your mind but we can't decrypt the brilliance so humor us please.
Pehraps there is sarcasm as your annoyed Haliburton gets so much cred and has not done anything, like folk talk him up like he "Kobe"? Is that what your trying to say?

I’m just saying if Halliburton is this stud pg his teams should have won more games. Yes they had other issues but he’s the starting pg. he’s not as ridiculously overrated as DSJ was before coming here but the kid is overrated

And last I checked 37> 31
