It looks like if Knicks not able to get the 3 players they're aiming for, they'll be picking Gerald Henderson SG, 6'5 from Duke??? WHY?

The knicks need to trade down.

I would be absolutely okay with Terrence Williams. For starters, he walked around Louisville in Sponge Bob pants and a Barbie backpack (no joke) and he can BALL. Anyone who watched NCAA hoops last year knows the name Terrence Williams. He and Hansborough are going to fall more than they should, especially in this weak draft. Why not get the dudes that did something in college when there are no true "upside" picks this year?

Dude, that's more a sign of stupidity and immaturity than anything positive; don't know why you list it as such (positive). No thanks, just because of that.

but in all seriousness, I think this guy's quirks is why he is falling further than he should (like Ron Artest minus the violence factor) and i am more than okay with getting a guy who will become a 30-35 MPG player. In this draft, I'll take that regardless of anyth other factor

It's not so much being a corporate knob jockey, but being a decent human being. People that go out in public in pjs and sandals with socks are disgusting.

If he becomes a 30-35 mpg then cool, but I doubt it, his immaturity will prevent him from succeeding. It took Ron Artest more than half his career to become half-way normal.

He's OK offensively at best but this is a team full of guys that score right now. He's got tremendous potential as a lock down defender and is a great rebounder and distributor right out of the box. He's a guy that can come in play right away. He can defend several positions and his size and rebounding makes him very versatile when the Knicks play their smallish lineups. He's also one of the best athletes in this draft.

He's my pick as this Josh Howard

myself and the bluest have been pushing for this guy hard on realgm.. what impresses me is his rebounds,(almost 9 per game) and assists(over 5 per). He is a smart player and ultra athletic, I love the way he plays... but I don't see the knicks taking him at 8 unfortunately..

He can't shoot... he does everything else, but he can't shoot. And unfortunately I think taht disqualifies him from the 's school of basketball

Howard's a good offensive player. I see a Gerald Wallace/Gerald Wilkins hybrid with T-Will. - 6'6", good strong athlete who's defense & intangibles are ahead of his offensive game. Wallace and G. Wilkins is/was capable offensive players though that on any given nite could go off and drop 25-30 but neither guy is/was really a big-time consistent offensive player (though Wallace is a better offensive player now than when he came into the league). That's how I see T-Will. Howard's not a terrible comparison, he's a two-way player, but I think he's a step up from what we're talking about here.

i like him a lot. rod thorn is going to take him at 11 and the nets are going to get another draft day steal.

PJs and sandals with socks are disgusting has some kind of impact on what kind of human being you are?

Where you the guy on all fours getting slapped on the ass with a wooden paddle at college yelling "THANK YOU SIR MAY I HAVE ANOTHER?"

Dress nice! You will always be a decent human being!

Newsflash. People walk around in their PJs all the time in these days. At least they do here. It's something called being lazy for a minute and not giving a crap what others think of you.
