His dead set three pointer is as good as steph curry's was in college. He has the potential to be a 6-4 PG with a keen 3 pt shot. At worst a spot up 3 pt specialist. RIP Crushalot😞

If the Knicks end up 1 or 2 and the Lakers end up no.4, I think there's a scenario where Phil trades the pick to the Lakers for pick 4, pick 27 and a future no.1. Then I see us potentially taking Kaminsky who's the perfect fit at center in the triangle. I wonder if Phil watches Towns and Okafor and doesn't envision the right player. It may not be a popular move, but Kaminsky is fundamentally the perfect fit in a triangle or Spurs type of offense. From a team concept standpoint and fundamental standpoint he plays the way Tim Duncan would play. He doesn't have the peak of Duncan and not nearly the athleticism, but if you like at the last 8 or so years of Duncan he plays that type of role in the offense.

"Phuck that Badger!!!" Kaminsky is a fine player but the love we have for him is based on his fine performance this weekend and while is NBA talent, I think the 4 is a bit high for him. |

Kaminsky is under rated the way Vucevic was under rated. There is a difference there--Vucevic was a bigger(265 vs 240) guy who can rebound better--but the team that gets Kaminsky will be getting a really good player who is 7 feet tall. I wouldn't blame a team if they took him 4 it might end up a savvy pick. RIP Crushalot😞

Another thing about Kaminsky that probably went unnoticed. KAT called him very tall in the post game. I think KAT is 6-10.5 and Frank might be a true 7 footer. It might seem trivial but then you start adding the skills and whammo. RIP Crushalot😞

Id go right to Duke and tell Coach K that I have a round one pick and I want to develop this player after their season ended and let the kid and his family decide. If he was on any other team where he got consistent PT hed already be a late lottery pick or close to it. He has basically no usage but in the little hes been out there--even in the couple of games where he did not score--his play is what I love..N ot only does he have the physical talent--hes going to be a star one day but just the way he gives 125% as well--thats the seller. He wont come out and there isnt going to be a promise but Ill come back to this post in 2 years.(if Im still on the earth) I wonder how many of these were made?:) RIP Crushalot😞

I see more Dirk than Pau Gasol. I think he could go anywhere from pick 2-6 |

I saw OK4 and Kaminsky on an ESPN show with that punching bag contest.....OK4 looked like he was 6'10.5 next to Kaminsky. Towns is 6'11.5 according to Draft Express when Towns graduated HS and Kaminsky was 7ft I believe. But I also saw how WCS was taller than Towns. WCS and Kaminsky might be the same height.....legit 7fter's. Towns should reach 7ft by the time he stops growing. Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland.
The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

I always think OK4 looks shorter than he is- his hands are gigantic though |

Good read on Towns vs. OK4. 9 of the SI guys pick and explain who they would choose (Towns wins 5-4) "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs

I think we can work with Jahill to get his body right for the NBA. I think hed be better at 260 than 275--and you can tell hes a hard worker and can do that. I think hed be quite slender at 260 and his defense would be appreciably better. RIP Crushalot😞

He's going to be the best NBA player in this draft. He's got the perfect NBA skill set to be a superstar and the brains persona and physical traits to back it up. I get the OK4/Towns thing and bigs in the NBA but this is an easy pick for a franchise cornerstone talent for 15 years. "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs

I still think the Knicks plan ahs been clear as day--lets move out the 19% odds of getting pick #1 I think whatever position we get 2-5 we will shift down or just take WCS. The Knicks plan has been Monroe and Stein for 4 months + thats what I believe.
