Did I miss something?

Knicks bought the 45th pick from the Hornets.

This guy Harrelson is a P_ec of Sh_t
he has the typical Center size but really only 6 10 work is he lacks the length and athleticism of a prototypical
NBA Big man, fair shooter but will not create ANY Post up opportunities for his size

Only Knicks can get such Junk and it has Mike D'Antoni written all over it a Guard in a big guy /Centers body
Its such as waste.

If Coach Calipari couldnt do anything to make him have some identity OR Areas to add to an NBA team what's the
Knicks gonna do with him ?

Piece of junk

I agree with you about wanting Selby to flip him.

Harrelson seems kinda Doleac-esque after watching him in the tourney. He's definitely a big body. I still am holding out the hope that Dalembert/Evans takes the MLE. Evans can with out a doubt play Center in my mind.... I know I know Mike D wouldn't play him yada yada yada.

how do you figure doleac as a comparison, because they are both white? doleac was an excellent pick and roll shooter, harrelson will be lucky if he even touches the ball for a J at the foul-line...

i'm not trying to discredit harrelson by saying that either, i just think they are totally different players. harrelson will make his game downlow while doleac was a pure shooting bigman.

haha you know while I writing it, I knew someone would throw the ol' race card in there. They both set solid screens and, as I said, watching him in the tourney, he DID INDEED knock down some open jumpers for them.

And you're right saying he won't get it for jumpers because we have Amare Stoudmire. You think Doleac would have been knocking all those shots down w/ STAT here?

I was actually also gonna say lesser Kurt Thomas. Is that OK Bizzaro Al Sharpton?

ZERO NBA Championships to go with all that booing. Glad that he's going into retirement content with that.

LOL really had nothing to do with race, the only reason i mentioned the doleac comment and them both being white was that i didn't understand the comparison. i agree with you on the screens and you're probably right, if doleac played with STAT he wouldn't have gotten as many Js as he did. just didn't like the comparison... lol.

kurt thomas i can see...

My take is that you don't try to make a guy a defender you want to take players that LOVE to defend if you want to improve.

Now, Iman has talent, brings defense, has big upside and was brought here with a plan in mind, which I like. The fact that they see him as adequate to defend SGs and in offense he becomes the PG moving the pick-n-roll while Billups becomes the scoring guard sounds like a good plan. Maybe was a reach, but they showed they had difficulties getting a second pick so if they thought he was the one, Im fine. They picked need with upside, which is great. It would've been terrible to pick another SF or PF.

Harrelson sounds like a guy that will probably be ready to contribute right away with a few minutes off the bench as a backup C. He seems like he cares and has great motor, which is great in a bench player. Seems to be a good rebounder and try hard on defense, which I like a lot.

Im at peace with this draft. Now if only we could invite a few undrafted players to summer league. There is no Vegas but there are other summer leagues, right?

I'm with you man. I'm content with this draft.

I'm not sure there was really a homerun pick available at 17, but from everything I've seen, Iman should be a solid player. I am curious to see how he's used next season, but I can get behind it.

I have absolutely no expectations for Harrellson right now, just because I don't know next to anything on him. But at the very least, he's a big body we can throw out there, which we need. I still hope to see Jeff Foote brought up next season and given a shot as well.

What do I know, though? I was willing to take Selby at 17.

Honestly, in this draft was there a homerun pick available anywhere? It was deep with role players but there's a pretty good chance that no one drafted tonight will ever play in an All-Star game.
