I wo9uld take Jimmer Fredette although I don't think he would fall to round 2. He fits the Knicks because he's the best PG in college basketball. He can shoot from anywhere on the court--he's big and has deceptive athletic ability and body control. He finds the open man. He always has his head up and does not turn the ball over. He runs a system at BYU which is offensively similar to the Knicks.

He cant shoot from deep and he's not strong enough to finish when there is congestion[where as guys like rose and evans could]. You take out three games against cupcakes and he actually has more TO's than assists. If Cousins and Patterson don't carry the team--they play like they are playing now. John Wall has a lot of physical attributes but he is very raw as a PG--young but raw. I cant imagine a team taking Wall over Turner and not giving serious consideration to a few other guys. he is NO walkaway one pick. You can listen to the hype or actually watch him play. He is now shooting under .400 in SEC play.

I can imagine it. Turner is a good player but he is a junior. While he improved his game it still has major holes as well. He is still very streaky with his jumper. Staying an extra year benefited him a lot. His game reminds me a lot of Caron's game. Interesting to see how it translate at the next level.

Evan Turner is the best player in college basketball by a good margin. I thought he reminded me of Caron Butler lite myself last year--this year he looks like an easy selection for the first pick.

He's a good player and a great prospect with unusual size for the PG position and elite athletic ability--those guys go very very high--probably number 1--I would personally draft Turner.
