Briggs, I want to hear what you think now about the draft and the direction of this team. Everyone is waiting. You can come out of mourning now. Haven't seen you around. Did you become a lakers fan?? Where is Briggs's state of the Knicks address? Can someone please post it.
I have no address. I like all of the players we drafted including Channing Frye. I have brought up the critiscms of Frye because I didnt and still dont believe he is what the Knicks think he is.
I like Nate, if I didnt know better, I would think isiah stole my line about him being a top 3 pick if he was 6-2, about his toughness etc.. but I also firmly believe that pick was earmarked for Julius Hodge, then they realized what Bynum was, then Green slipped and then they settled for Robinson. I do wonder why we didnt offer GS Sweetney and picks 21 and 30, because if you looked at the board, it was highly likely that their two targets warwick and Diogu wouldve been there at 21 and on top of it, Sweetney in shape is around what Diougu is. They couldve literally walked out with both players.
David Lee is a fine 30 pick but does lack some girth. They are listing him at 249 and he weighed in at the combines at 229.
I also like Channing frye, but obviously without mentioing names, i thought there was better and bigger selctions.
I like what Isiah is doing in concept. He has brought on tougher Gs--more to my liking, but I feel like we shouldve gone bigger in the draft and looked towards 2006 for a 6-10 skilled athletic PF like Josh Mcroberts, Boone etc... but there will be no C like the one we bypassed.
