Man this is one of the most impressive 19 year olds of all time. The guy is already an nba star. I'd rather have Booker than any free agent other than Lebron that's how good he is right now. My hope is we can get into this draft. Best case scenario would be trading melo into it for 2-3 picks I'm a draft where you will be able to siginficatly upgrade your backcourt with great players for 10 years

Booker is going to be a GREAT player and periennial all star. His might position might actually be PG which surprises me. they ight have to ultimately move bledsoe or knight
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 only chance the Knicks have at getting a draft pick is trading Melo. It's not a likely scenerio... so the punt of taking about it all the time is nil

Phil is doing a great job as far as getting us young guys to build with. There's more than one way to do it. We're going to have to look at Europe and China like we've been doing. Undrafted rookies. Floating free agents. That's how were going to do it. We could use the positive energy to attract some luck but that's asking too much from knick fans

Booker does seem like a great player... who can't play defense. I just don't get excited by players, no matter how good, who basically rely on scoring more than their opponent.
Yeah, I would take him, but I prefer two way players.

PREACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But damn he looks good for a 19 yr old. he has the ability to improve his defense. has the tools

YUP! It would be nice to have a winning team that everyone wants to come to but when you don't then you have to exhaust every other option to find talent and develop talent. Phil has been trying to make the most of his drafts since coming on board. Last year he did the same. Stashing Willy was a very smart move. Hopefully he strikes gold on that move. I'm very hopeful on the Wroten move even tho I know some are poo pooing the move. If he can get fully healthy and works on his shooting I think he could be a very good find.

We'll see if Phil can again add a pick for this draft. He's been pretty active in adding picks.

I came to believe this after seeing his quickness and ability to pass, and also recognizing the fact that he seems to have shorter arms and looks like a weak defender against most 2s. I believe that his quickness will allow him to defend at PG, and he won't have to worry about being posted up or overpowered at the position.


I see him as a larger version of Curry, to be honest. I was actually considering a thread about this, but figured I would be shot down for implying it.

He is a better ball handler than what I expected.


You look at that KU team, and realize that if Calipari had featured Towns and Booker they might have won the title.
