Booker is a great shooter but I think you have to go big with Lyles and Turner there. Also the Hibbert rumors and West leaving.

I would rather have Myles Turner than Porzingis. If you are drafting on potential why not take Turner. Geeeeez

So, back to the Knicks aside from their current pick. Do we buy a few second rounders? We seriously have to find a way to field a team. I think the Sixers have five or six second rounders. I can't imagine they are keeping all of them.

Porzingis is a great pick. With the 4th pick you needed to swing for the fences. Porzingis has a real chance to be the best player in this draft class

Waiting to see who goes #14 and #18 with rumors floating around OKC and Houston not wanting to keep their picks.

I think they do. Also, they might move the euro from last year and/or the rights to Thanasis. The Sixers might pick some euros but they are going to need to do something with all of those picks.

Lets see:
Our team needs:
A Starting PG/SG
Back Up SF
Back up PF
Starting C

We could defintely use the 2nd round to fill up the back up positions.

I am not judging the pick. The kid has talent, just needs time, protein and conditioning. Or he might be part of a megatrade. We don't know yet. But I trust in our scouting and Phil

1. He's not a mystery to NBA teams.

While other international prospects are hyped based on certain physical characteristics or YouTube videos, that is not the case with Porzingis.

"Teams have been watching him [play] in Spain, watching him play in the ACB which is a really good basketball league, and they're watching him able to play against FC Barcelona and Real Madrid," said Ford. "We're not watching grainy video where none of these guys can even play D-I college ball."

2. He has been playing against top competition in the best league in Europe.

Unlike many international prospects who have never played against good competition because their domestic leagues are bad or they are too young to get playing time, Porzingis has competed at the highest levels in Europe and done well.

"We're talking about guys [in the ACB league in Spain] who would destroy at Duke or Kentucky if they tried to play them head-to-head," Ford explained. "And at their age, he and Mario Hezonja (from Croatia), they are producing."

3. He has been playing in an NBA system.

One of the assistant coaches on Porzingis' club, Baloncesto Sevilla, is former NBA assistant coach Scott Roth, who was an assistant coach with the Dallas Mavericks when they drafted Dirk Nowitzki and with the Memphis Grizzlies when they drafted Pau Gasol.

"[Roth] was hired over there in part because Sevilla saw Porzingis as an asset and to put in NBA sets," said Ford. "He has an understanding of what that transition [to the NBA] looks like; what needs to happen; how to make it happen successfully. Porzingis has been going through that process for the last year of learning NBA terminology, learning NBA sets, learning how things happen at the NBA level."

4. He's bigger and stronger than many realize.

Sure, that'll help with the bitching on this forum. Bring in someone from the View.

Common Phil either get us a first in this round or obtain two in the second round, you can do this.
