But I'm seeing what I consider smart posters analogize fultz to Eric Gordon. And Ball to Jason Kidd

Are the draftniks still thinking this is a super draft ? Seems like a lot of holes are being exposed

theres a lot of DEPTH in this draft. not only with starting caliber PG but also big men and senior wings.

hard to tell if anyone will be a CANT MISS FRANCHISE star. im not sure anyone is that good in this draft. the closest thing is markelle fultz and to me he has 25ppg potential. but this draft seems to have lots of depth - starters that could play a long time. with a lil luck and the right situation they could be great great players

Next year melo is gone.... like he said the writing is on the wall.

KP Willy and rivers? And 6th pick is a solid foundation paired with solid bench players like Noah,oquin,Thomas,Lee,baker .... go out and get a defensive juggernaut to be your sf.... KP is just starting to realize when he plays midrange he is unstoppable I can't wait to see how dominant he becomes in year three, with out the drama of melo surrounding the team, it has to take a toll on the young guys

Fultz=Westbrook
Ball=Kidd
Jackson=Kawhi
Tatum=Melo
Smith=CP3
Monk=McCollum
Isaac=Greek Freak
Bridges=Millsap
Ntilikina=Jrue
Fox=Rondo
Markkanen=Ryan Anderson
Zach Collins=Love

I think the focus on the PGs might be leading some to underrate some of the non-PG players... for once I am glad Phil won't necessarily be obsessed with grabbing a PG.

At 6th/7th, the only PG I would drop everything for would be De'Aaron Fox. If it came down to Frank Ntilikina/Dennis Smith/Monk or Jonathan Isaac... I might lead toward Isaac at this point.

I feel like I need to see more Dennis Smith tape. I didn't see him in game action all season long... I'm very skeptical of him for whatever reason. He seems like the kind of PG Phil would hate.

Fox actually proved it over a whole season. I'd say he's a better mid-range shooter, he's got that great little floater. I think he's a better passer too.

Honestly, I think you can make a case he's closer to Wall than Mudiay. He was feeding Monk a lot to the tune of Monk leading the SEC in scoring and monk being named player of the year.

I dunno, I think he could bust or maybe only be as good as Elfrid Peyton... But could also be more of a Rondo/Wall type. His outside shot needs work, but has good form to my eyes.

Honestly I think the bust potential of Ntilikina or Monk is higher. And I worry about Smith's game. He seems much smaller than he's listed. Maybe smith is a more explosive Lowry... i see something more like a Marbury or Francis style PG in him that looks for buckets over dimes. Isn't that a problem in the triangle?

Like I said, in some ways I'm more comfortable with Phil drafting a non-PG like Josh Jackson or Isaac both for our positional needs and because I worry any pg in the triangle will be just utterly confused about their role.

I do agree that we don't have to target a PG. SF is also a need spot for this team. We need talent period but I think the Knicks will try to go BPA unless it's another C. The top ten is full of guards and wings.
