IF WE GET THE #1 OR #2 PICK IN THE DRAFT AND WE NOW HAVE A CHANCE SINCE WE STOPPED GIVING OUR #1'S FOR CURRY.


WE NEED TO GET DERRICK ROSE FROM MEMPHIS, BOY HE'S NICE. HE'S BEEN COMPARED TO A COMBO OF KIDD AND DWAYNE WADE.

I've been talking about Derrick Rose for months on this site and people are probably sick of it, but I want it to be known, this is the guy the Knicks need to take to start heading back in the right direction. No if's and's or but's about it.

DERRICK ROSE.

Derrick Rose. Dude has Kidd-like skills in Wade's body and athleticism.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Agree on Rose. You can go VERY wrong with Mayo. He is Marbury jr. except he is bigger.

The ONLY thing that matters here is, Isiah Thomas is not one making the pick. If he's still here, we could draft Michael Jordan and Isiah would still find a way to surround him with all losers.

Special guard prospect. Will be a big point guard. Terrific range and confidence. We are talking about an impact player with legit star power. Skilled on the perimeter and an excellent finisher. Will set guys up and has a tremendous feel to go with a pace about his game. Poise has been a big asset.

OJ Mayo is Marbury, trust me. Marbury averaged 8 assists too but was he really that unselfish? Mayo has an even bigger hall-hog attitude than Marbury. Actually, I'd say he's more like Arenas.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

This is going to be a fluid answer because there is no Lebron James/Dwight howard type of pick in this draft. From what I have seen it appears as if Derrick Rose if the top physical talent BUT Eric Gordon is the best player and Michael Beasley is somewhere in that top 3. After those 3 it appeasr as if there is clear tier down. The safe bet right now is Eric Gordon but you have to honestly hold judgement until the end of the year. I think Rose and Beasley might go 1-2 but it wouldnt hurt us if we had pick 3--because we might be walking out with the best basketball player.

To be honest I don't care who we get from Rose or Beasley. We wont be bad enough to get the top 2 picks anyways(sadly) but I'll settle with an Eric Gordon or Kevin Love.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

who's projected to go #9 this year? that's who we need to be thinking about... u know this team is somehow going to manage to win just enough games to miss out on the best prospects in the draft... it never fails.

beasley fills the small forward spot if we aren't going to let chandler develop.

or we can trade the pick and bad contract for a Proven Vet.
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

Derrick Rose is a pure PG. Eric Gordon surprisingly plays like Ben Gordon, both have a similar body and style.

Rose is clearly the better prospect because he had been a consensus top-three pick by the mocks since the preseason, whereas Gordon exploded up the rankings. Rose looks like he could be in that Nash/Ford category of points, whereas Gordon is a tweener due to his height. He could be great, he could be mediocre and perhaps has a higher ceiling than Rose. I'd take Rose over Gordon though because Rose seems guaranteed to be really good.

This stuff is far from certain but given Rose's style of play and the type of point guards that are elite in the NBA right now I really, really like Rose to be a star almost immediately, like Deron Williams and Chris Paul.
