I don’t know enough about the players mentioned but the overall plan wouldn’t be a bad one. Would be coming away with like 4 prospects. If selected to build an identity then not a bad idea. With 2 more draft picks in next yrs draft. Can really load up on a foundation or trade package.

Does this mean that Briggs has to change his scouting report on Wiseman?

Knicks must draft Tyrell Terry. Under any circumstances.
Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree

Hoping that the Knicks surprise everyone and take Patrick Williams from FSU with one of their 1st round picks. Oozes potential. Future All Star.

I'm guessing Okoro, PWilliams and Vassell are top 3 choices

I'd be happy with any of those three, or Kira Lewis. Speaking of which:

Oh wow, they must really like the kid. Wonder if they keep #8 and acquire something in the mid/late teens with their #27 + taking on a contract

I don't think is the top prospect, but I'd be happy if he fell to us. Reminds me a bit of D'Angelo Russell. Russell was a really good passer in college and his measurements are similar to Hayes. Not sure Hayes will ever become as good a shooter as Russell, but he definitely has to moves to get his shot off the dribble. I also like the way Hayes advances the ball on the break. Now, he might also run into the same issues as Russell when it comes to attacking the rim. Hayes, at his current level, is a guy who seems comfortable taking tough shots. That's cool, but he'll need to be able to get to the rim better for easier shots.

nice video

looks like he knows how to play but i'll admit i've always been a sucker for players who are more shifty, have wiggle, than explosive

I have a question. Is Nesmith the best shooter in this draft? Tyrrel Terry faced tougher competition, showed the ability to shoot off pull-ups, spot ups, curls etc. over a larger sample size. Terry isn't good on defense, but it's not like Nesmth is either. Is Nesmith getting the bump simply because of his physical profile? I think I would prefer Terry's shot creation over Nesmith's ability to be a solid defender. I would've take either one at #8, but I want Terry if the Knicks trade down.

I don't know, I remember reading that there are other players that have a better array of types of shot vs Nesmith, plus Nesmith has a much smaller sample size.

Nesmith seems to have vanished in this process though, haven't seen any articles about him or any rumors- wonder if he got a promise pretty early on in the process?

It is my hope that Hayes or Halliburton are there for us at #8. We need a point guard and as best as I can tell they are the two best PG prospects after Ball. It also seems very possible they go just before we pick. In which case I would be open to a trade back and pick from the next tier of PGs.

Would make some sense if his draft stock was lower coming in. But which team in the top 10 would give such a promise? Maybe Phoenix? Maybe Washington if they don't see the need to grab an insurance policy at PG? A borderline top 10 should go out of his way to cement his position.

Doesn’t surprise me, he seems to give off Michael Porter Jr vibes- talented but easy to dislike
