Would you draft Russell if you knew Love was in the bag?

at number 4? absolutely.

we would have to compensate for the defense but offensively that would be great.

Lets remember that Phoenix was not a defensive team yet they found some defenders to cover (e.g. marion) and gave themselves a good chance to win it all (and they clearly could have that year and barring other injury plagued years)

You need to be better than the other team. Sometimes you are better defensively, sometimes offensively, sometimes a little better at both.

You need to be able to hit shots.

Lakers fans seem to be willing to consider drafting Russell (also Randle doesn't really fit well with OK4). Doesn't make any difference to us though- Sixers would snap up OK4 if he fell, and maybe trade Embiid for another pick

No, I mean at #2 if you were a Laker GM. Can the Lakers pass on Okafor. Well since you think he is Al Jefferson I may know our answer, but put yourself in LAs shoes

I think they have to take him.

if the knicks picked 2 they I would take him as well.

It would actually be a nice move- I think Embiid is a big injury risk, and Noels and OK4 would complement each other (though lack of shooting would be a worry. Plus they could then also draft Herzonja or Mudiay, who they could either keep or trade later.

Hinkie did a lot of overseas scouting as well. He is reported to have gone to some of Mudiay and Prozingis games.

yes. I mentioned this in another thread.

Hinkie was the only GM to see Mudiay play in China.

I think that Phil may have put some thought into him in his steam shower

Maybe or maybe Phil knows how to delegate. It also was reported that the Knicks had scouts following Mudiay.

This draft is at least 4 deep- our choice is:

a) Gamble on Mudiay, who has the biggest upside of all our options
b) Go for the more certain valuable starters Winslow or WCS
c) take a gamble on the wildcard euro's
d) trade down

I honestly have no idea!

Then cite your info instead of prancing around like you all special!

BTW< Bleacher writes that before the draft was held. I can't see either Wolves or (cough, cough) Lakers passing on the bigs.

I don't see a single reason why philly would would trade down Unless they fear Lakers are going for their guy. I'd be thrilled if that happend as it leaves us whom ever Wolves don't take, but I don't expect that. Just my gut.

I don't see much info coming out from knicks as to who they prefer because you don't want to draft the OTHER ONE and have it out there. No trade will happen until after the draft.
Most of the rumors usually don't turn out but the easiest thing is for us to sign Greg Monroe (well discussed for months) and draft a stud guard.
Anything else will have some drama to it. WCS should be interesting.

The Zwerling article that they quote is really good. I posted it in the Mudiay thread a couple of days ago. Definitely worth reading. Too bad Jared isn't on the Knicks beat. Bleacher Report has a ton of good writers but I rarely find their stuff for some reason.
