My hope is the KNicks can pick up Green and Muscala using the 3mm$. They would really help this club.

David Lee wasnt even on a mock draft until after Portsmouth and then went into the late 40's. The bottom line is you are getting a player with great all-around fundamentals--who if he weighed 15 pounds more wouldnt be a topic of 24. Its is rare to find an all-around player at nearly 7 feet tall with his skill sets this late in the draft. You don't have to teach him anything--he just needs to do 6 months of heavy dumbbell bench presses:)

Lee was very highly touted coming out of high school. I think I read that he would have been a first round pick if he skipped college. That draft was when teams were still going for potential and unknown versus a guy like lee that was going to be a good pro.

My pick is Adenteknbo and with his potential/upside, it is my final pick IF he in fact is available which I think Atlanta at picks 17/18 and Cleveland at pick 19 despite his raw skills
They both could use a SF and have the time to let him develop and fill out his body

With All Stars like Lebron James/Durant/Paul George in the league, you need a player that can do his best in 1v1 situations that has the combination of mobility/size/length/athleticism/and versatility

Ron you really think Thnasis will have a better NBA career than Muscala?

Ron you really think Thnasis will have a better NBA career than Muscala? We did get Thansis at 44 but hes yet to play in the NBA--Muscala on the other hand looks to be a big part of Atlanta's plans going 4ward and has shown some really good skills. You seem to make a contradiction with Wood and Thansis--Wood is much more NBA ready and a high skill and physical profile. I guess for Knicks fans lets hope Thansis can improve this summer league or I doubt he'll be part of the Knicks organization.

Giannes was who I wanted to acquire by moving up, he was in same draft class as Mike Muscula who you wanted to draft to play PF at 23 along with Nate Walters

you have touted a billion guys in 10000 different posts.

if you manned up and created a Briggs Draft Sticky Post and we can all follow and see a centralized history of your predictions, then you can tout your victories.

this spaghetti posting as if you were a tabloid writer is not cool and very old school

Briggs, if you agreed to do this, I promise that I would read everything you wrote and would be the first to praise your winners.

The way you do it today, there is zero accountability. Its like when Iverson can shoot 30 shots a game at < 40% and nobody realized since they could not accurately keep track.

This was my pick--I make one last pick every year. The year before I picked Vucevic--he just happened to go a spot before we picked.

and instead of telling me who you picked (which may have been great picks), why can't I just go directly to the "briggs draft 201X sticky"??

really! why are you so against this? (and refuse to address it)

if you have a valid reason, just state it.

Do you feel that it will get less hits then the compilation of all the posts? Maybe ... and maybe that is valid. But you can't/shouldn't get proper credit unless you organized and document your picks and show the timeline.

Could you imagine if twitter documented their API's instead of in one central location, but by breaking it into 10000 pieces and randomly posting it?

Everyone has the ability to make a pick before the draft--maybe pick someone else for a 2nrounder first second choice etc or if we acquire a second 1..I find players during the year and pick them out for others to see--and I think you are confusing this with a final pick choice. No one has made a draft pick here other than Towns at number 1 for the most part--you really cant make a pick until June. You can like this guy that guy make prognostications but it really is impossible to make a last pick until June.

I get that ...

but why not have a draft thread dedicated to you? You know that martin and andrew would allow this.

You can change your mind everyday, but there is a timeline .... why don't you want a timeline?
