Knicks just need a top 4 pick. Anyone of those guys will do

exactly which is why the recent Winning streak got me nervous. Hate losing but if we are rewarded with top 4 pick its worth it

lets lose pretty at least.

Melo should not be playing ... don't really get it. Triangle training.

I think that's what it is. Triangle training now that the Knicks are somewhat playing the right way. You'd like to see more consistency from Melo as far as his understanding of his role in the triangle but at least he is getting some reps in now before he shuts it down. The reps will hopefully help him to start the year next season. He will shut it down after the allstar break then we hope for the best

not much 6pts, 5rebs, 1blk

Any time Towns drops a double double while playing along side the giants of Kentucky it is impressive. He is going to be great in the nba where he will be more of a focal point inside and with more room to operate while being surrounded by NBA shooters. Somewhere between Anthony Davis & Andrew Bynum

Can't forget that Towns is a baby. He's getting valuable experience on the winnest college program.

Kaminsky will be a solid pick but its shades of drafting Frye(safe pick) all over again if we strike out and land in that 7-14 range. I'd be more intrigued with Drafting Stein in that spot if Stanley Johnson is off the board

HE has all the tools. Unfortunately we don't get to see them on display since he plays for Kentucky who's guards shoot jumpers all day. In fact the college game in general is all perimeter oriented today. Towns would probably be putting up Anthony Davis Kentucky numbers if he didn't split time with Stein & Dakari

I could see Towns developing into a Patrick Ewing type of player. If we draft him we need need to need to get Pat back here to work with him.

he is really not like patrick at all. Reminds me of a shooting Camby.

He doesn't need Ewing. He is a superb passing big which will make him a great fit in the triangle and deadly duo with Carmelo. If anything Phil should hire Shaq to show him the ropes. Ewing played in an entirely different offense. Ewing was not passing once he got the ball inside

yeah ... def no to patrick

Ewing did not like passing and towns does.

I always held that against Ewing ... and the irony is that the excuse for Ewing not passing was always:

"He has nobody to pass to"

Familiar?

He doesn't need Ewing. He is a superb passing big which will make him a great fit in the triangle and deadly duo with Carmelo. He can also defend, rebound and block shots at an elite level which also compliments Melo. Whereas OK4/Melo is a bit redundant as neither excels defensively. If anything Phil should hire Shaq to show him the ropes. Ewing played in an entirely different offense. Ewing was not passing once he got the ball inside

Shaq's game was pure power. Besides, he is not looking to coach anyone; he wants to own a team

He usually offers great incite on the triangle on TNT but you are right he doesn't seem interested in coaching. He would help Towns recognize when to pick his spots in the triangle but again not necessary since Towns already is an excellent passing big

Except he averaged 25pts, 10rebs, 3blks on 50% shooting and lead his team to the playoffs every year for a decade and should've won a ring if not for John Starks. He also played in the Jordan era but still managed deep playoff runs every year

Ewing was a great player but he was never close to shaq or hakeem or even David Robinson.

Ewing was better than David Robinson.
