Some speculation last summer that records may have been withheld to keep the Knicks from drafting him. “I heard there were concerns about Dennis Smith from a medical standpoint … You never know with these situations – are agents withholding information because they don’t want you to draft a guy? But there was, I believe, a lack of access to medical records.” http://hoopshype.com/2017/07/20/dennis-smith-jr-reportedly-did-not-provide-medical-records-to-the-knicks/ Here's what Lowe, Begley and Beck had to say about the developments about Smith from the draft: http://www.givemesport.com/1105366-dennis-smith-jr-did-not-give-knicks-medical-records-as-it-considered-him-in-draft I'm tired,I'm tired, I'm so tired right now......Kristaps Porzingis 1/3/18

Im surprised they didn't take Mitchell he was a little more polished offensively and brought much of the same defensive effort Frank brings. I wonder if they could do it again if they would make the same pick Check out My NFL Draft Prospect Videos at Youtube User Pages Jmpasq,JPdraftjedi,Jmpasqdraftjedi. www.Draftbreakdown.com

Probably...but to be fair Mitchell is displaying offensive skill he didn't show at the Western University Dolphins, er, I mean Louisville. He also still hasn't proven he's a point guard. TBH, every team except Boston is second guessing that pick. Still, I'd say we made out pretty good. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

Part of the value of what Frank brings as PG is if a guy like Mitchell is available next year you dont hesitate to get him even if you have concerns about his ability to play PG at the next level. Mitchell and Frank would look fantastic together in the same backcourt. He reminds me of Avery Bradley a lot and thats compliment. Mitchell was also ranked behind Frank in pretty much every draft analysis, mock, etc.... "winning is more fun... then fun is fun" -Thibs

The possibility to securing a quality young SG in free agency (Hardaway) may have to greater than the possibility of securing a quality young PG.Jmpasq wrote:They loved Mitchell and worked him out twice.

Wait, wasn't Frank just learning the PG position as well? Think Mitchell was also considered too ball dominant by Knicks. Yet Phil loved Rose?
