how many draft picks do we have? i thought just one
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

He is not inbdraftnets mock. Do you think he goes undrafted? I would assume he played at Portsmouth. I might check out his measurements and what was said about him.

Looks interesting. I'm confident that the Knicks Scouting Staff is scouring the world for hidden talent. UDFA's are a wealth of talent for teams like NY that don't have many picks and i'm sure we'll continue to use that resource as we did with Galloway and others. 2 rounds of draft is not enough to catch everyone worth bringing in.

The entire first 35 picks are littered with quality big men and then into rd2 and UDFA you are going to have more players make the NBA than any year in the history of the draft. So many good guards who have a lot of ability. Look at Thorton--how many players in this draft are 6-4 can play PG looks like a plus defender has NBA athleticism/ bounce is a long term high quality volume 3 point shooter and legit ball-handler? This guy looks like another NBA sleeper. Looks a little like Branden Knight. RIP Crushalot😞

This is the line on DX. The height measurement is up to date. You would think he'd measure in at 6'3" with shoes. Seems to play bigger in the video... don't know how big his opponents were. Has a pretty good wingspan for his height. Physical measurables are almost exactly the same as Galloway- superior jumper, though.
Seems to be a combo guard. More of a PG who likes to shoot first based on his assist numbers. With his wingspan I'm surprised he hasn't gotten more steals. Would look closely at him when signing UFAs. Year Source Height w/o Shoes Weight Wingspan Standing Reach No Step Vert Hope these stats show up properly. Basic Statistics EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

^^^^Walt, thanks for posting the stats and measurements. Seems like a guy the Knicks might be able to get as an undrafted free agent.

I don't think Marcus Thorton is a pure PG but he does have some verstaile skills as a smaller Jae Crowder and some of Dennis Schoredder's/Iman Shumpert type of impact, while playing as the 2nd ball handler
He looks to have good quickness, good BB IQ, and overall skills, especially if he goes undrafted Wesley Johnson/Brandon Wright/Derrick Williams/Aminu/Lavoy Allen/Rasual Butler/Koufus/Gereld Green are some potential UFA talents we might be able to sign at 5m and even less Some of which could be vet min like Butler or 2-3.5m on multi year deals for cost efficient talents

Not sure why anyone hasn't signed Frazier. He looked good on Philly and was the MVP and rookie of the year fr the d league.

As I have said prior to the start of this season, I predicted Wroten's value was going to go up with MCW earl injury, Phil Jackson has said he wants players that look to get to the paint and he does a great job at that If we could get Shabazz and Wroten, they could be very good scorers that we lacked to initiate our offense, add in a BIG, and we would be much improved with a healthy CA

im asking this in all sincerity, how will we get these guys?
from what i understand, the knicks have: from what i assume: the only maybe is: in summary, these are great suggestions for players to get (wroten, bazzie muhammed, etc etc) but HOW are we going to get them? 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

The Knicks have been able to get back into the draft and also must prepare for a draft of 150 players or so. The Knicks found David Lee and Langston Galloway at the PIT. Trading a draft pick always comes back to value--what type of value am I getting? In the past the Knicks used picks both in rd 1 and especially in rd 2 as throw ins--devaluing their importance to team building. Whether you use an asset from 2019 in 2015 is all dependent on what is coming back to you. Keeping your eyes closed to options wont help the team. RIP Crushalot😞

Thornton at this point isn't projected to be drafted by draftnet. Seems like he could be a Galloway type free agent signing after the draft.

I just had a chance to look at the Portsmouth write up and saw LeBryan Nash had a good showing. I have not followed him but remember he was a McDonalds all American. He isn't even projected to be drafted. Googled him and saw comparisons to Artest. Also saw that he was the 21st rated prospect coming out of high school and was supposed to be a one and done. He is another guy that appears to be worth taking a chance on. Not sure if there are any issues/concerns with him.

i always liked nash but he underachieved in NCAA. i think the nBa game is more suited for him
