I don’t see any draft where u move pick 33 for a future 2. Pick 33 is a great pick. Even if it’s d league it’s worth it all day.

pure speculation but i think at 23 they thought they had a shot at Anthony or Maxey. they got scooped on both and traded because because no one was taking Quickley before 25

as it stands moving 33 makes no sense. hoping more comes to light on that

I'm reading that they didn't really want anyone other than Vernon Carey. So I think this may have just been away to get another pick when they might want someone, as opposed to just taking a flyer on someone just to cut them after the year is up

understood. but i can't believe that was the best we could do then. That's a very valuable slot with all sorts of NBA players being found in that vicinity. So even if they wanted out, very surprised if the 2023 of unknown slot is the best they could do. i don't know the rules of what needs to be announced on draft night but based on logic i have to imagine there's more to this story

Yes we have a lot of role players and draft picks to make a trade.

They likely moved it because they figure there will be no dleague this year and development may be stalled for some of these 2nd round guys. They clearly targeted Toppin and Quickley specifically as 2 experienced college players with transferrable skills that will instantly make them rotation players. I wish they could have received a pick sooner than 2023 or received a pair of 2nd round picks, but it is what it is.

In part why Rose went through all this trouble, I guess.

I forgot who tweeted it, but I saw a rumor that the Knicks were targeting Vernon Carey out of Duke in the second-round, but punted on the pick when he went off the board.

Its weird that they punted it so deep though. Ira said something about it being when high schoolets can be drafted. I imagine Rose and scouts would be ready for that change in the rules.

Yeah, the double draft is being speculated for 2023. That's why you'll see a number of teams targeting that date in future deals.

Obviously its done to promote Kentucky basketball but what if he turns out to be special? Maybe all we need now is a stopgap point guard like DJ Agustin for a couple of years. A point guard rotation of Quickley and Frank would be nice specially if frank can consistently hit his shots soon.

if you want to dump the pick for something that works last second, this can happen... hard for me to be too upset over any second round waste though... I am just happy we got two guys that can play

if RJ evolves as a play maker, and let's say the Knicks sign a playmaking wing like Dario Saric... Quickley's ability to hit shots starts looking really good.

The Knicks did say they wanted a PG that can hit shots and the definitely got that

To Calipari all his players are special, there is nothing special about that. Remember how he was raving on Knox?
