TJ is fast.

Brunson
Mitch
iHart
Deuce
sims
Kolek

rokas? if he ever comes and sticks
Hart was one pick away

then on the flip side think of all the lottery picks that were let go one way or another

I could if one of them accepts a two-way. I mean Rokas over Kolek because he has more size. But I'm sure our scouts have better insight into who projects to be more effective.

not sure i think of Deuce as a pg anymore

Deuce is also a valuable asset at a position where we have depth. He's most likely trade bait at this point.

Unfortunately, it’s a very hard truth for Knicks

Deuce was like a religious prophet here for a while. Faith in him was rewarded and he turned out.
Frank was a false prophet who disappointed.

Such as they divide between the believers and non believers!
Messiahs? we don't have any on this team. Yet. JB is getting there!!!

fun fact: all of our pgs are second rounders and all of our centers are second rounders

I'd also add that none of the other PGs we have rights to offer nearly as much of an defensive impact as Deuce. Finally, Deuce has made steady improvements in his ability to take the paint and finish. Who's to say he doesn't take that next step. I like the idea of Kolek, but he will always be a defensive liability and teams might be able to target him out the game. I have similar concerns with the Rok, be at least has some size. I would be uncomfortable with Kolek as our lone backup PG until I get to see him in real NBA action.

The one absolutely beautiful thing about how the Knicks are built, is that every other position on the court is literally build around having a defensively deficient, lefty PG who also happens to be offensively overloaded himself.

It’s going to be delightful.

There are just about 3 teams in the league the Knicks would need to worry about our backup PG being exploited and we’d see them in ECF or Finals 😳😬😉
