A suggestion was made in another thread that someone should post possible prospects for the knicks in this upcomming draft. Well, the picking is slim when you consider the knicks are picking at the bottom of the first round. But here are some names to look out for in the 06 draft, with an inf. on SF, SG and PG

Small Forwards

Adam Morrison
Rudy gay
Shawne Williams
James White
Davon Jefferson
Maurice Ager
Julian Wright
Rodney Carney
Marcus Slaughter

Shooting Guards

Hasaan Adams
Brandon Roy
Brandon Rush
JJ Redick
PJ Tucker
Ronnie Brewer
Gulliermo Diaz
Randy Foye
Mike gansey
Mardy Collins
Shannon Brown

Point guards

Mustafa Shakur
Marcus Williams
Darius Washington
Dee Brown
Rajon Rondo
Justin Gray
Carl Kruaser
Jordan farmar
Daniel Gibson


I'm sure there are few that I left out. feel free to add on. Some of this guys are underclassman, so it isn't written in stone that they all will come out.

A few names that could slip to Knicks are:

BRandon Rush (too early for him to come out, but to muc potential to pass up)
Maurice Ager (might be OKay. Terrific defender/athlete but not a great shooter)
James White (super athlete, questionable character)
Davon Jefferson (talented High schooler, may not be there when knicks pick)
PJ Tucker (reminds me of Ruben Patterson)
Randy Foye (reminds me of Ben Gordon. Not as good a shooter as ben, but is a little bigger and stronger)
Marcus Slaughter (hasn't attempted a three all year)
Hasaan Adams (great athlete, questionable shooter and he's only 6'5 or 6'4)


Couple of guys I would love the knicks to move t the middle of the pack and get:
Darius Washington (reminds me of felton)
Shawne Williams (6'9 225 sF) strong and long
Ronnie Brewer (reminds me of Joe Johnson, not as good yet)

It'd be cool if Isiah didnt trade all our draft picks.

I agree with Armstrong being worth the gamble at that position (29) He runs the court well, blocks shots, is athletic, only problem is the Knicks already have a glut at the Pf' position.

Hey, no arguement from me. I believe he has loads of potential. I follow Uconn and the Big East, (notice my screen name)and he definitely has steal written all over him.

How-ever, if Brandon Roy, Rush, James White or Hasaan Adams are sitting there at 29, I might have to got with one them over Armstrong at this point. Knicks need a wing player in the worst way.

I like brandon roy too, he has good size for the position and plays good defense and rebounds the ball well - he had a really strong game (35 and 11 I think) against Arizona a few days ago in that double OT game.

i like like roy and adams i put them in my bracket. there are a couple of other guys but these guys are two way players i lean towards roy over adams.

here it is though. in a league void of big men, i am always of the opinion that if you can steal a big man that late in the draft, it trumps a lot. how much time is antoine wright seeing with the Nets? Its so hard to trade for a big man, we got ours by draft and by heart problems. Look at the nets and many other teams starved for size. I was looking around CBB for another guy with Hilton's frame--i.e his size 7 feet muscularity athletiscm intensity toughness and I couldnt find one. He needs PT he has been a back up to great players he could have used a red shirt and had one more year which would be keen for his develoment his lack of pT makes him look sloppy and choppy and times, but when he gets his timing down and advances his skill sets, he ll be a nic e grab late in the draft .

Put Wright on Knicks and he's starting. He just got drafted by a team loaded with allstar caliber wing players. Good point about drafting a good big that low.

Hey its a bit early for this thread

We might even pick 28th or 27th.

Dallas and PHX are right there with the SPuRS.

Now if only we can beset them with more injuries...

How's than ankle holdin' up Timmy?!

I thougt we still owed Phoenix a first round pick in the Marbury deal. If I remember correctly, it has to be between 2006 and 2010. Since this will be a very late pick in a draft that is moderate to weak, I think we'll use that pick to settle the deal.

Steven Hunter at SF would be real nice fit.

steven hunter is a c who plays for sixers.

my bad.. Steven Smith SF, LaSalle .. great length, defense, some post game .. If we could come out this draft with Rajon Rondo and Steven Smith.. that would be a coup.. This draft should be geared
towards defense and IQ. This team needs to get smarter. Rondo is a perfect fit for what we need to do. The PG in this years crop are deep enough we may be able to get a good one.
