Yeah I don't put team needs into account I just try and get a rough order of where I think the talent is

So who was that player again??

wouldn't it be better if you never edited the initial list and you add your modifications as they come later in the thread? How can anyone respect the timeline of your predictions this way?

Every year there is many more than 1. I think you are talking about Forbes. But therte are others this year from Derrick Jones Kay Felder Isiah Whitehead

No all those guys are in other mocks being drafted. The player you were talking about you made a thread and said that that player wasn't being drafted in any mock on any site and you said you guaranteed he'd be a 1st round pick but i can't remember who it was.

Im not sure who you are talking about but my guys in order for the Knicks

15-25 Denzell Valentine Malik Beasley

26-35 Bryn Forbes Patric McCaw

36-60 Derrick Jones Ben Bentil

undrafted Daniel Ochefu(we need a third string C who can defend)

I anticipate that Phil will use our 2018 pick with low restriction to see if we can get into a mid range pick from 1 of these teams with 3 picks each--makes a ton of sense and to potentially purchase a 2. Hes been aggressive in both his previous drafts and it makes sense to do it again.

Isn't Murray more of a pure scorer? From what I could dig up he is not quick enough to be a good creator at the next level. Not bad, a 6'5" SG. But I wonder if he is going to have problems getting his shot off at times.
And not the best defender, his offense must be out of this world to take him #1.

I think you are going to be able to flip him over to PG. Going through these tapes--its become clear hes the best player. This is locked in--not changing it--Im convinced hes the best player. Ive also gotten hot on Cat Barber--as Ive watched the playoffs in the NBA the affinity for high usage high scoring tall PGs is obvious. After pick #5 or so--you have Kay Felder and Cat Barber. Cat is 6-3 not the passer Kay is but I put them neck and neck with the height just taking Kay slightly.

To the point I would prefer they get a late 1st to get him if he is there so they own his rights for a longer time period.

A SG who cant shoot?

That's why I said they get him and let him develop. His form is nice but he is a freshman and a bit of a gunner also he can create his own shot. Everytime I see a video of him I think if he were to wait a year he would probably be a mid 1st round pick.
