You hated Sexton before, what changed? Also, how can Mikal Bridges not be in your top 10? He checks off every box you want. Shooting, defense, athleticism, high bb iq, winner. Only thing is playmaking, but he has improved in that area this year. His downside is 3 and D starting SF. His upside is star.

I made the same mistake with Mitchell that I was with Sexton this year. Sexton might have the strongest combination of athletic ability ball control and aggression--he is FAR behind Trae Young in pure skills and IQ--but as were watching with Mutchell the raw athleticism ball and body control paired with aggression is yielding the best player in the draft. They are all close--well get a good player. If we get Bridges--he'll be fine. I think if we can get a player who controls the dribble--Id like them first. But the more I look at it--were going to get a good player and thats what matters most.

Id still take Trae young over Sexton--I think once he gets to the pros--his real 3 point shooting skills will shione through

The only drawback of Sexton is we have a trio of young guards in Burke, Mudiay and Frank. If we are happy to trade one or two of them to bring in Sexton, fair enough, I have no issue with that pick. The kid is really talented and has good upside. However, I would say at our likely position around the 10 mark, we might have players available to use that fill a need.

I would agree that this year's class is actually pretty close. For me Ayton, Jackson, Bamba, Young, Doncic, Bagley and Porter are the top seven guys (in no particular order). After that the two Bridges, Knox, Sexton and Carter are in the next tier down. I think there is good talent to be had. I am particularly intrigued by Knox and his fit on our roster. He would be my pick at the minute, but any of those four players could have a positive impact on our roster.

For better odds to move up into the top 3, Porter (who has superstar upside) might slide out of the top 5, also Mikal I think is a 6-7 range so it wouldn't hurt to move up just to ensure we can draft the best out of Mikal, Miles, or potentially Knox.

If we can come out of this draft with one of

Doncic
Porter
Mikal
Miles

We've definitely added talent to the roster which is a positive.

Also Knicks might just go BPA which also makes having a better pick important.

C Wendell carter( he won’t go top 5 so he may drop to 9)
GJerome Robinson ( a shot maker like rip Hamilton)
G-f Chandler Hutchinson( combination shot make)
G sleeper Kellen Grady( shot maker)

I'm focused on carter and mikal bridges. 2 way players and instant impact next season I believe.

The top 5 should be Aayton(now a lock 1) Bagley Trae Young Porter Doncic were very likely drafting 9--so then you have Bamba Carter Jackson and teams wont draft all bigs--other guys like Sexton Knox maybe one of the bridges will go 7-8. The nice reality is that the player we draft in soem drafts could go as high as 1 and easily top 3--so its likely were going to get a good player. I guess the real hope is win the lottery. We have a 6/100 to be top 3.

Why Ayton number 1? Looks like a good player without convincing ability to dominate either offensively or defensively in the NBA. My overall rank would be 1a/b) Young/Porter, Bagley, Jackson, Bamba, Ayton, Doncic.

Bagley still isn't particularly skilled, but reminds of Amare Stoudemire and could do well in a pick and roll setting.

Jackson may have some features of Ben Wallace with a 3pt shot.

1. Ayton (poor man's Embiid)
2. Doncic (similar to G Hayward)
3. Bagley (young chris webber)
4. Young (mike bibby/poor man's curry)
5. Porter (not sure, maybe paul george?)
6. Jackson (M Turner)
7. Bamba (Gobert)
8. Carter (Horford)
9. Mikal Bridges (O Porter)
10. Miles Bridges (Larry Johnson)

I think this year will be similar to last year where there are less franchise players as originally expected, but we will see a lot of good starters and some future all-stars. The top 12 or so is really talented. For the Knicks, i am looking at Mikal Bridges and Carter right now.

It looks close to certain that we'll be finishing with the 9th worse record. Let the ping pong balls fly!

I like the idea of Mikal joining KP and Frank. That would be the start of an awesome defense.
