Would have preferred Smith, but not upset with Ntilikina. Has serious upside, plays defense. Can shoot.

I'm ok with it, actually trust the Knick scouts who made this pick...not so much Jackson..

Whether you hate phil or not he has done well with draft picks especially euro players Have to say that I did not know of Grant too well when we picked him...but he was very popular with guys around here. Pretty sure that at one point earlier in the year Briggs pegged him as a lottery pick. I think they expected him to do the kind of stuff Baker eventually did for us as a rookie...I thought he would be better, and who knows how he eventually turns out, but there were a number of PG disappointments in that draft, including Payne by OKC, and Mudiay by Denver. I was OK with the trade at the time based on what others said about Grant, but had not thought about him once in the days leading up to the draft.

He reminds me of Ginobli - a very smart player and a team player who finds ways to get things done. He's a great defender and a very good shooter. He's more of a player than an athlete.

Just gotta trust the scouts did their job. I was hoping for more dynamic scoring but I can see why Phil would want Nitty. He's unselfish almost to a fault but then he's only 18. |

Frank is extremely young, and you always have to remember that the Euro teams aren't playing their youngest kids like they are 1 and done freshman. He's been playing at a higher level of play than most college players, and as is always the case with younger Euros, he's played against adults. I'm guessing we'll be happy with him. I think he'll have to settle in as far as confidence and asserting himself, but I think we've scouted him well, so I'm not that worried. As I've also said a few times...this guy had a rep for having a so-so J only a short time ago, but when you see him now you would almost think he was a pure shooting SG. Also has a reputation for being a gym rat type player, which is something you always want in a player. I think we'll be happy with him, but time will tell.
