Just curious to see how people feel about our 1st round pick after a full NBA season. We picked Sweetney 9th overall and Hayes went 10th overall to the Wizards. Did Layden get it right? And who do you think Isiah would have drafted?

I think Isiah would have drafted Sweetney also....
Right now Hayes would seem better cuz Houstons been out. Sweetney continues to show what he's worth. I can't wait till next season. Sweetney might come into training camp next year as the Knicks best option at the power forward spot.

Sweetney had a rough first year but showed patience and poise. If the Miami Heat or Toronto or Milwaukee drafted Sweetney maybe he would have at least been invited to the Rookie Game and been more of a factor because of the minutes available on those teams.


Sweetney showed us against Washington what he could do. He shows us every game. The guy is quick and agile. He's scary down low cuz he reacts so well and gets to the basket and has great instincts in attacking the basket. He has great positioning and timing to get tough rebounds. He runs the floor....It's scary to see what he might do after having his first off season knowing what he has to do to stay in shape. Sweetney could produce Carlos Boozer numbers next year....

Mike Sweetney has tremendous upside.

With Houston on board and Spree/KVH in the ranks I guess you have to go big. And I think the general rule is that all other things being equal, draft big.
