Is he young Brazilian PG who scrimmaged during the combines? He looked a bit overmatched on offense but showed good defensive potential.

No that was the guy with the freak wingspan. Go look at videos of this kid and his write up on draft net. I don't see a differnce between the upside on him or mudiay for the triangle. If you can get a player like that at 25(if you can acquire 1) then you can't use the much higher value asset elsewhere . I suggest anyone here to watch some of the multiple videos on him he's quite impressive looking. There is no doubt he is a multi dexterous elite level type athlete who can make plays with the dribble. According to draft net he is an elite defender as well

I have never seen or heard about this player until this am.

Well if he's projected to be anything in the NBA then i'm sure every pro scout out there has already done their homework on him and if he's anything close to Mudiay then we'll here his name called in the first round.

New York you probably will by the Spurs at 27. That's the whole gig with the knicks we must change everything about our previous train of thought. I really think I'd trade back unless we want Porzingis or Winslow. I've had to adjust my train of thought on pick 4 as the last three months I thought our decision was ok4 or Towns. I'm starting to think we can adjust our thought process and look at those two guys or multi asset trades or trade down for Kaminsky etc.. I don't know if mudiay at 4 is our top line value. This guy really looks like he can play ball. I love guys who can handle the ball with both hands and make plays with the dribble and he's 6-5 and looks to be agar more fluid and athletic than mudiay mudiay has the body on him and that counts but this kid looks every bit as good.

Could we use this guy? Hell yes we could. I'm hoping to add Joe Young with a deep pick but this guy would be a nice backcourt upgrade as well. I'd hate to waste a pick on him though. We need players now -- I'd hate to draft him and then he refuses to come over to the NBA.

He does have some alexey in him. He also has some Manu Ginobli in him. I really like this type of player for the Knicks. He looks like he gives 110% on both ends and has a unique ability to make plays with both hands off the dribble which will make him a hard guard.If we do take Porzingis Winslow or trade down for Kaminsky I think id favor grabbing him over Mickey or anyone else with a late 1. The guards we have are mostly raw and I think this guy can step right in as a 7-8 guy right away no waiting on this guy imho. He's going to give you the aggressive D from the perimeter which is a must have. His upside as a physical nearly 6-5 of with his athleticsm and use of both hands is very high. If it was possible to grab an extra pick in the 20s to grab him we could make different use out of pick #4 for example prozingis and Fuzaro. It would help change some of the culture on the team which has been a need for multi years and give us two athletic defenders who can effect play out on the perimeter yet each has multi offensive skilled games that are needed in the nba right now. I wish I knew about him sooner but If we can do this this I the avenue that might be the best way to travel for this teama

If he was on Duke as a pg this year I bet he would be talked about as a top 7 pick. think about it high level athlete at 6-4/6-5 who has two way skills uses the left hand just as well as the right plays aggressive athletic defense obviously has a 40 inch vertical with a good wingspan dives on the floor to make plays has a superior first step either way can shoot it with range. My bet with heavy air time at the right school he's be a high lottery pick
