Interesting video, but 5'10"... can't do it. I think size is so important in the NBA; I wouldn't draft an undersized player at any position unless they were a can't miss superstar.

In many cases I agree with that. Thats why Ty Lawson went 18. But this is a special athlete. When I watche d him--he really looked like a Dwayne Wade or a Derrick Rose--despite being 5-10 or so--thats how fast and big he plays.Its hard trying to see so many guys play 1-2 times and in this case I was trying to look at their C and he caught my eye--this kid is special youll hear his name. He s a talent. RIP Crushalot😞

I don't care how short he is. We need a pg who can get into the lane and create.
I know we're missing guys, but our offense today consisted of passing around the perimeter and jacking bad shots. |

If he cant shoot tho he wont make it
Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

I think size is so important in the NBA; I wouldn't draft an undersized player at any position unless they were a can't miss superstar. I'm with you on Carson. He kind of reminds me Terell Brandon. But I think he may be gone before we pick. What thoughts do you guys have about Myck Kabango? There's also Wolters, Ray McCallum, CJ McCollum...there's no way we shouldn't come away with a solid PG pick this draft. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

I think size is so important in the NBA; I wouldn't draft an undersized player at any position unless they were a can't miss superstar. This draft is gold for PG's. If it were me, I would do my best to grab 2 PG's in this draft and Martell Webster with our money. If we were able to grab Wolters Carson and Webster--that would help set up a new core for our backcourt for the next 10 years and make the current team much better faster and more diverse. Were not going to trade Carmelo and were going to keep the ship forward--but at the minimum the management has to agree we need speed and help at PG--and I think it might be best that we part ways with the incredibly unpredictable JR Smith. Id like to see the team become a better passing team--more mobile and much faster. This player is the fastest player in CBB and next year if he stays will avg 23/24-6-4 and go top 7. If this draft is not as good as some predict then there should be an ability to buy a pick. Im sure a team would have to promise Jahii that they would pick him--hes only a freshmen and I doubt he comes out without a real promise. But that would be my plan for us with what I see and what we have in front of us--to make us faster more athletic diverse and a better passing team. RIP Crushalot😞

I know nothing about this kid but i trust your judgement (btw i DONT think muhammed is that good). but if dude cant shoot then hes useless.
the knicks SHOULD draft young and part ways with JR smith. i doubt theyll do that though. most likely theyll pick some euro that weve never heard of and use him as a trading chip in the future. Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

I think size is so important in the NBA; I wouldn't draft an undersized player at any position unless they were a can't miss superstar. Well, I think he's too small. And even 5'10" seems like an overestimate. Do we really want a guy whose ceiling is Nate Robinson? These guys are nice sparks off the bench, but have tons of trouble on defense because guards just shoot over them or post them up. That negates the scoring spark most of the time. Even Iverson struggled with this because he was a 6'1" SG. Guys like this are also hard to get value for in trades because every team doesn't want to pay a lot for undersized guys. It's not the direction I would go. Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

If anyone doesnt think this kid is for real--go check out the 2nd half on ESPNU. He is destroying Ray Mccallum--this kid is a special special player.

True. Denver/Karl have made Lawson's career. |

His teammate Carrick Feix is also a very good candidate for a 2nd round pick.
