briggs, i know you are high on randolph so i will ask you this question: is he better than tyrus thomas or stromile swift when they came out? i remember you being very high on ty thomas, as was i, but he really hasn't dont much in the NBA. i think thomas was better at LSU than randolph was, though randolph's ball-handling really impresses me for his size.

i don't think there's a chance mayo falls out of the top 3. if bayless falls, i like him with this team. if bayless isn't there, i like westbrook over randolph.

briggs, if westbrook and randolph are both there, who would you go with? i'm going with westbrook.

The Knicks should be thinking Mayo or bust. They have to get him at any cost. This guy is confident has a swagger that none of these other draftees have. Rose doesn't have it maybe Beasley is the closest to Mayo.

If you have to trade expiring contracts and take back a bad contract or two you do it. The Knick have been missing a confident player since the last 6 years now.

Sports is all about being confident and that is what can turn the Knicks around, then got get Mayo here in orange and blue.

No matter what Walsh does it will make some happy or at least content and others ready to say Isiah is still drafting, nothing has changed, "I can't believe I had faith in him" etc. etc.

Of course, none of us will actually know what the impact is of the draft until they actually play games, and even then it may take time.

I can just see this draft all those waiting for the biggest lightning rod of criticism and praise.

I'll admit, I'm hopeful and will be patient since there is little chance that this one draft is going to be the be all say all of what lies ahead for this team. We have been such a mess for so long that anyone with skill is unlikely to turn things around that fast.

Anyone know when the draft actually starts?

I'm trying to figure out when I should head over there from work.

I think its 7:30ish - thats when ESPN official coverage begins. They also have pre-draft before that...

How long is each team on the clock for? 5 minutes?

For several years I have watched draft night come and go and the results have always been disappointing.

Picks sent to Chicago, picks sent to the Suns, Sweetney, Weis, Frye, Balkman etc...

So that all happened under Layden/Isiah and now we have Walsh - will it be any different?

I hear rumors of trading up for Mayo (yes please) picking at 6 and taking whatever talent is there (ok) or trading the 6 pick for a proven vet or salary dump (eh).

Who knows what will happen, but I will tune in to ESPN like I do every year with my hopes high and maybe this time something magical will happen - but usually it is a bit anti climactic.

I get the feeling that this is going to be one seriously disappointing draft night for Knicks fans.

Knicks think they're player will be available. Fresh report. Donnie is mellow.

No way Mayo falls. Think he wants Bayless? Does Lee get traded for a top 15 pick?

they say Walsh has his guy & it's a PG... suggests Bayless or Westbrooke at #6

I'll puke if we only get Westbrook or Bayless.

Bilas had Bayless ranked behind Augustine as best PG available.

If Beasley drops past #2, will the Sonics take him?

If so, then what about Mayo?

Does that mean Lopez drops too? Love?

Both guys we want picked ahead of us.

Bilas also says every player picked is going to be great - and most dont turn into much.

Bilas had Marcus Williams as best PG prospect over Rondo, Farmar, Lowry, Sergio Rodriguez & Daniel Gibson too... he's not the end all & be all & has gotten his share of predictions wrong.

They should just make this pick. Why waste the time?

That Clippers-Sonics trade is messing everything up. If Mayo gets to 4, the Clips will take him and try and flip him and Brand to Mia for Beasley and Marion. The Wolves hold the key to this. I hope Miami wants Bayless.
