OK, I'm thinking the top 3 are a lock and that the next 3 may be all big men:
1 - HOU: Ming
2 - CHI: J Will
3 - GSW: JR
4-6 - MEM, DEN, CLE: (in no particular order) Gooden, Nene, Wilcox.
Now, what do the Knicks do?
- Select a PG or SG who would sit behind another highly paid player? Butler, Wagner?
- Select Tskitishvili and hope and pray?
- Jefferies or Amare to fill the post?
The Knicks are definitely small man heavy and need a big. In this scenario I would either go with Amare or Tskitishvili, based purely on potential.
Thoughts?
Take Wagner with pick and hope thing go well from there. The Knicks need help in this order.
Center, they don't have one. PF undersized with no intimidator in the paint. Camby a decent PF when health but never healthy. PG they are old and slow with glaring weaknesses. Jax defensive and offensive liability. Ward has good jumper but lacks ability to drive to the basket and create for others consistently. Eisley why did they even get him. Backup all his life and will be back up to any PG in the league. SF playing out of position but does a good job. SG only problem is he makes to much for what he is worth. If the Knicks follow this formula and all the top big men are gone then they should look at the next weakest position and that will be the point so take Wagner and go from there.
