Thabeet is most likely out of reach the Knicks need to look at this kid Jerome Jordan from Tulsa a little more closely. He has decent stats and blocks shots at 7' he kind of reminds me of Javale McGee from last year. I expect Jerome Jordan's stock to rise as Draft day nears. Keep an eye on him he might be a good fit in the Knicks system.

I agree. He needs more upperbody strength, but he has the legs of a horse. Projections have him available in the 20s...

Have not seen him. Is he known for having a post-up game, mid-range jumper, both of these, or neither of these?

Just wondering.

Patrick Obryant redux--believe me.

Id be willing to trade the pick to Utah for Koufus or to the Clippers for Deandre Jordan

He is a better shooter than McGee when he came out. Shoots decently from the line for a big man. Has a post game in his repertoire. He challenges shots and that is what makes him a good prospect. Some have him going in second round but by the time the draft comes around he will be available 15-25 range. I haven't seen much of his games but they have a few clips of him on youtube from the Memphis game.



I think the Knicks can develop him and he looks like he has a game they can work with.

MDA is not going to get a big center in the draft he is going to find the best shooter in the draft and get him. I would trade Nate for JJ redick tomorrow.

BRIGGS if this kid went to UConn you would be loving this kid.

Thabeet: 13 points, 10 reb and 4 blocks 30.5in/per game 62% FT

Jordan: 14 pts 9 rebs and 2.6 blocks 26 min/per game 77% FT

I saw this kid play against Oklahoma this year and get mauled. I don't like his body he's not very athletic he's not fast. He's got more offensive post skills than Hasheem for the college game and we can stop there. Hasheem is the best player on the best team. Go back and watch Louisville and their post players not score 1 point in the post in 40 minutes. Hasheem's skills go beyond numbers.

There are two C in this draft worthy Mullens and Thabeet and they wont make it past pick 5 --either of them.

Its pretty obvious those are better players BRIGGS, but get it through your head we ain't getting those guys. You have to look at your best options. At this moment Jerome Jordan is you best option for where the Knicks will be drafting.

You're saying he is the 10-14 best player and Im saying he's not even close. I dont think this is the type of player they want. He's a plodder. If Jordan was in last years draft he wouldve went in the late 40's to early 50's

MDA wants shooter not big men to clog the lane and play back to the basket. If your 6-11 fast and a great defender you will be a top 5 pick in the draft and we wont have a chance to get that kind of guy. If he wanted a plodder he could have gotten one in the last draft

Just like Deandres Jordan dropped to second round after you declared him a top 5 pick come on BRIGGS the fact that this kid doesn't go to a big time school is what is determining you thoughts on this kid. If the Knicks want a center then he is the best option for the Knicks at where they will be drafting. Unless something miraculous happens on lotto night. Jerome Jordan will rise in this years draft. He is a good player and he has solid foundation where teams will be able to work with.

Deandre Jordan has top 5 talent. He shouldve stayed in school one more year and he would be a much richer guy. My God he's already had a game of 20 rebounds in the NBA. Deandre Jordan dropped like a rock because he was not fundamentally ready to play enough minutes for Texas AM with all of their older frontcourt players they had. He wouldve been much better off going to a crppy school and being a star. He dropped in my eyes as well and how could he not--he wasnt getting PT--- but for him to drop to round 2 was absurd.

Briggs, I had DeAndres Jordan ranked high also. It was Absurd that he dropped. Which leads me to ask you now that DeAndres Jordan potential is seen by the Clips why would they trade him to the Knicks? For a draft pick at that. I personally think Tahbeet is benefiting from playing on a stacked team. Jerome Jordan doesn't have that luxury. Teams prepare their game plan around stopping him. Yeah he look bad against Oklahoma but he sure did look good vs. Memphis.

Possibly the second best big man in the draft.
2/7/09 vs UTEP. 22 points 14 rebs and 3 blocks
Jerome Jordan needs a serious look at his stock is already rising. By the time the draft rolls around he will be ranked between 10-20.

If the Knicks get a second 1 he certainly could be worth a flyer. Two things--he is a plodder and his body is not very good. Im a believer in the 7 footer however, especially since he does have post moves. He doesnt even have to be great--just someone who can come in at times make/block a few shots and clog the lane when needed[like last night] I think they would probably list him as the 4-5 best C prospect but we need 1. Anyone who plays hard who is 7 feet who has some skills can develop has upside and can be used in the NBA. He's a value/need pick in the 20's. He hasnt been consistent but that's Ok too. I don't think you can lose picking him up in the 20's--what is the worst that can happen?

That being said I don't see this player with lottery type talent. We cant afford to reach across the board ten fifteen spaces. I am hearing you and so do a lot of other Knick fans---I would take a 7 footer like this IF we had a 20-29 pick. I don't think there is any downside there UNLESS someone unexpected dropped.
