Yeah this is how I felt too. Just didn’t make much sense otherwise.

Do we really think that professional scouts and front offices can't look at tape of the minutes Mo has had on the floor?
Do we really think that we, as Knick fans, are privy to some secret that the best in the business who are paid lots to find advantages for their respective teams don't know?

Whoa, looks like something I would write!
I think sometimes medai likes to write **** to grab attention?
When you can't explain something it must be a deliberate action. LIke a "Conspiracy" of sorts?

Mo got minutes when we had guys hurt. That is not so at the moment.
Getting ready for playoffs? The schematics are more involved. Mo defense physically is fine, but his awareness and adapability is not of a more expierienced player. he gets burned or "lost".
The Shooting? Cooled off a bit.
He might not be a "sure thing" as many would like to depict,
The video highlights are one thing. The others are not so grand.
Im not saying we get outbid or not. We could get caught into a "Lin" type squeeze for a team who will pay up but my sense is he is not polished like Lin was or thought to be. Mo is not really ready to step in and contribute as a starter in my opinion. He needs an opportunity and minutes to develop. He is getting that. He will need a path for such a thing. Can we do that with Bridges and Josh? Is he patient? Can we pay him a fair value and give him a path like we did with Deuce? More than the money it was the opportunity to play. To counter knicks also can project who might give him the best oppourtunity . Lets not forget Leon thinks like an agent and he would be looking across the landscape of teams and understand the threat. Thank god he has us (fan base) to help him identify this!
Our yoot and depth is improved since he got here. In time we gonna have to let go of some. Others will move on and we might get burned here and there. All teams do btw. I mean look at Brunson? Dallas was good a few years ago and in hindsight they ****ed up. It happens.
So far Knicks with Leon been doing a great jo

Thank god he has us (fan base) to help him identify this!

I think he is a talent. However, other teams have promising young players and incoming draft picks, g leaguers, and free agents to evaluate too. Plus with limited rosters and salary caps other teams may not be as able to try to bring Mo onto their teams. Knick may also draft some more wings with this draft having three picks. I think MO is interesting but I doubt he is being hidden.

Hidden isn’t really the right word. It’s more of a situation where the Knicks went out of their way to re-integrate someone like Clarkson instead of continuing to give him the typical opportunities a young player would late in the season.

Need upgraded frontcourt depth more so than wings.

We definitely need both. At pick 24 and 31 we draft a big and a wing/ bigger guard. Anything but a small guard is needed really.

We need a starting PF allowing us to push OG back to SF. MO can back him up for now, as this would be the case for a contender.
And we need a C/PF who is more ready to contribute regularly than Huk. Who also can provide positional flexibility at C/PF.
Will need to make a decision on Deuce, Shamet, potentially Mikal. As Deuce or Mikal could be moved to fill that need at starting PF. IE trading Deuce & our 1st, while committing to Shamet to cover that backup SG spot.
Then use #31 & #55 to maneuver for that C/PF who can beat out Huk.
