there will definitely be talent at 9; there always is
the bigger issue is whether we have the eye to spot it every year there is group think in the media, dumb teams following consensus and buying what turns out to be fools gold and smart teams finding talent even in the second round (5)(5)

I hope I am wrong... but one doesnt shoot well and the other would be the smallest player in the league... luckily Orlando is incredibly stupid so lets hope they bail us out and a gem like Bamba or Bridges fall.newyorknewyork wrote:Young is going to the Magic, Sexton is going to the Cavs. Book it. Orlando still has Vooch at center and their starting PG is DJ Augustine. They traded away Payton because he couldn't shoot. They will sell themselves on Young being Curry/Nash expecting his shooting and passing to open up the floor for Gordan, Issac, Vooch, Fournier, Simmons. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

Man, I would love for the Knicks to be in the position to choose from Bamba and/or Carter if those 2 are indeed higher talent that the Knicks like. Feel like they need a big and a SF going forward. Don't count out the Bulls though just because they have Lopez on the roster, he only has a year left and either Bamba/Carter would fit nicely next to Lauri. Portis doesn't seem like a starter.

I'm more so banking on them believing they can make a playoff push next yr and will target a player that can slide in to a position of need. But its very possible they look for a long term center option even with what they have on the roster. Also wouldn't be shocked if they traded down. Someone or 2 will drop though as Young and Sexton slide up to 6 & 8. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

The best thing about picking 9, is both Sexton and Trae should be long gone.

And Mikal will get picked right before us. I just understand knick history and this feels like a repeat. But on the flip side, I think Young and Sexton might be better than what we have. Sexton, I'm not too sure about, but Young who appears to be similar in height to Sexton, might be that diamond in a rough PG for any team. Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland.
The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

Miles offers big upside and i feel like has been overlooked in a major way here. He would improve our versatility and athleticism at both forward positions, if Mikal is gone. |

I hope the Kings get Ayton - might mean they are willing to move WCS, who I'd very much like us to get

I don't see it happening as I think the Mavs might go for Bamba. I think these playoffs will improve Carter's stock, just because of the comparisons with Horford. I like Mikal Bridges, but I wouldn't get excited about adding him. |
