This draft blows moose balls. There's not one player that is can't miss & very few that can even be viewed as a projected core player on the next level.

-Rudy Gay - I admit, at times he looks like a stud. But he also has some holes (very slight frame, tendency to disappear).
-Morrison - I like him, but at best he projects to Wally Szerbiak at the next level.
-Aldridge - Stromile Swift, the sequel.
-I love Redick's game...but other than Briggs, it seems I'm in the minority.

So, that's 3 and a half question marks at the top of the draft.

By the way, its not like I'm super high on Curry. He's good for 1 block, 2 nasty dunks, 3 turnovers & 4 dumb ass fouls a night.

^^I am with you 100%. If Oden was in this draft things would be different.

I like Morrison and Gay, but the real problem with Curry trade is 2007.

From ESPN:

J.J. Redick
Shooting Guard (Rank: #17) | 6-4, 190 | Age: 21
Duke (Roanoke, VA)

Draft Projection: Mid First Round

Positives: One of the two or three best pure shooters in the country. His shooting mechanics are flawless, and he possesses very deep range on his jumper. Has a quick release that lets him get his shot off in most situations. He's also a dead-eye from the free-throw line and has shown some point guard abilities this year for Duke. Has diversified his offensive game a bit this season and is now putting the ball on the floor and getting to the rim. Despite a general lack of athleticism, he's not a bad defender.

Negatives: He's undersized to play the two in the NBA. Combine that with a lack of athleticism, and scouts aren't sure exactly how his game will translate at the next level. Even though Redick seems to have diversified his game greatly this season, scouts seriously wonder if he'll be able to get to the rim and create his own shot off the dribble at the next level. Has had a few off-the-court issues that also don't help his stock.

Summary: Redick is having an amazing senior season, but good luck trying to find two scouts with exactly the same take on Redick. With the increased emphasis on shooting in the NBA, some see him as a lottery pick. "He'd be one of the top five shooters in the NBA right now," one scout said. Others claim that his game is so one dimensional that he'll never be more than a role player in the league and is better suited for the late first round, early second.

knight and i posted at the same time!

I think you guys are realizing that whoever gets brought in will be ruined by brown.

he's been spoiled coaching the pistons...q woods is better than this kid you guys are talking about...we draft him...would he even play (see jackie butler and david lee).

stop this rookie draft nonsense...until our coach plays kids, the draft is a waste.

i'm getting more and more fed up with larry losing games to prove a point.

When was Eddy Curry going to become a free agent when the knicks signed him?

ahh...now I feel better...I had to vent...haven't posted in a while...I think the kids are gonna force larry to retire and his 80 coaches.

why were we better last year record wise?

I dunno...but I am in agreement...it can't be this bad next year...can it?

Book it....Redick is a top 10 pick this year, maybe top 5.

I can't think of a recent lottery pick like Redick--teams don't pick undersized shooting guards who's claim to fame is their awesome stroke.

You're right, I cant think of another player like Redick because there have been few like him. How about he's an incredible talent with tremendous skill sets and the highest of iQ's. To me is a top 3 or 4 at the latest player in the draft.

This draft is under-rated, and it has a lot of really good defensive type players in it
