If it came to choosing Green or Harangody, I think the Knicks would take Green. Harangody doesn't have the length I think the Knicks want in the frontcourt, and I expect having a big SG who could play D coming off the bench would make Green a more attractive pick if they were both available.
With that being said, I could see Harangody becoming a popular player with the fans if he was on the team- a bulldog type player who could bring energy and muscle to the floor, as well as a jump shot that seemed to surprise people at the combine. Does his game translate into NBA success?
If it came down to Harangody or Gibson, who would the Knicks want?
And what about Pendergraph? Any love for him as a second round pick- he looked to be in good shape in Chicago. Has a big body, can rebound, and hit the midrange shot. Also a pretty good FT shooter.
How would Derrick Brown look as a 2nd? Don't really know the guy's game at all. Any talent? His combine numbers were pretty good, and I seemed to remember that he seemed like an intelligent guy in an interview I saw. Read that his jumper was not so consistent, but his FT% was not bad, and he hit over 40% on his 3's this year.
Lots of decent rotation quality players to look at in the late 1st and 2nd rounds. It would be nice to get 1 or 2 extra picks this draft.
I agree--looks like the Knicks could restock the back end of their bench which is also something they will need to do.
