Hes the best athlete in the draft--he reminds me a lot of Demar Derozan and I think hes the best defensive wing prospect in this draft. A high lottery pick next year if he stayed. He really started coming on end of year when it counted and was stopped because of SAT issues.

youre right BRIGGS. excellent athlete who might benefit from the wide open NBA game. he wasnt that impressive at UNLV but im not sure if that was because of bad coaching, bad team or hes just a bad player. he averaged 11.5 but shot 21% from 3pt. most of him pts came from dunks, put backs or fast breaks. he seems like an athletic freak of nature who is still learning to play bball
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 was not played enough--that teams was in disarray

When he finally got time his last 3 games starting

33 minutes

21 points per game 70% FG 8 rebounds 2.5 steals 2.75 Blocks 2 assists 24/28 from the FT line 85%

His jumpshot looks good hes got good form and his a lot of FTs in high % in high volume eoy. Someone will be getting a really nice discount because if he kept up that play he wouldve been noticed a lot more for a freshmen. Jaylen Brown and Derrick Jones are the best athletes in the draft but I like Jones on the D.

Just wanted to come back here because I really think this guy has a great future AND we can get him. He would be a project player year 1--probably spend a lot of time in Westchester but that's ok. I love this guys defensive upside--hes very long and he plays two feet above the rim. He is BY far and away the best athlete in the draft with tier 1 NBA athleticism.

He kind of went unnoticed this year but he did shoot 62% and avg 11 points and I think 5 rebounds in limited minutes. I just saw his predraft tape and his 3 point shot looks like its really made great progress already. I saw these two teammates play McCaw and Jones and I really like them both and they are both attainable. But when is the last time we had an athlete like this?? This is young Kobe/ MJ type athletic ability

This is recent tape of working on his game shot and it looks much better already.
