fox played great

Knicks are gonna have to not only lose big to close out the year but also get lucky in the Lottery cuz it's going to be a crazy top of the draft.

The way I see it:

Jackson
Fox
Fultz
Ball
Tatum
Smith
Isaac
Monk
Markkanen
Ntilikina

The Knicks have a really good shot at the 4th pick with out a lottery miracle. It is looking like a really good pick. Bk, LA, and the Suns have the first three spots locked.

Top 4 is the sweet spot. Nice consolation prizes after that but you wanna get into that top 4!!!

He'd be my pick after Ball and Jackson, for sure.

If he has a run and a good game that gets them past NC, he might very well play himself out of our slot.

Will be interesting to see if he can duplicate this kind of performance.

I don't know if he can score like that again, if he does you're probably right... but he did have 22pts 9ast the first time he met Ball, so he's got 60pts over two games against him.

It'll be funny if because of tournament play Jackson and Fox play their way into the top 3. Right now we're tied for 5th (!!!) in the lotto... with some luck, we could get up to three. It'd be crazy if we were in the position to get a guy like Fultz at no.4 or something though.

Man, I know Fox doesn't have a great outside shot and maybe that'll keep him in our range... but I look at him as a guy who has a sort of rangy court presence of Rondo, with an offensive game more like Wall. He's kinda like a mix of both. I'd still take Josh Jackson over him... but not sure I'd take anyone else. In my head I know Lonzo Ball is probably the better pick for building a team... but my heart would be happier with Fox.

Someone compared him to Wall after the outcome was decided so I wasn't paying attention. I can't remember who it was rafferty (?) but another announcer validated it.

His stats are highly similar to Wall's Kentucky stats. Fox shot slightly better, Wall had slightly more assists. Otherwise they're almost identical stat lines.

Hmmm -- this is a case when your eyes tell the story. fox looked unguarded le by a guard who has been touted for his D. You're right 1 game doesn't tell the whole story but how can anyone deny the incredible speed and body control that Fox showed on both ends? I think because of the incredible two way play Jackson and Fox are likely top 3 now it's possible depending on who is picking-- ball could fall to 4 or 5

Fox had a great game but he's been playing like this all year. His amazing skillset is just more on display right now. Statistically he put up his best game but it's not like he showed us anything new.
