Collin Sexton is the by far the least intriguing of the bunch and a scoring guard who can’t shoot or pass well, with average athleticism, is a waste of a pick. The forwards you discussed are all lower potential, except Porter, who I doubt lasts until 9. Sh-t in the popcorn to go with sh-t on the court. Its a theme show like Medieval times.

I'm also still interested in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (to play alongside Frank, not to replace him):

We need to figure out what to do with the ones we already have. 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.

If we drafted SGA, my lineup would be thus: Starting backcourt: SGA & Frank. Tim Jr is sixth man, splitting time between SG and SF. Trey Burke is also a bench player, splitting time between PG & SG |

Like Knox's numbers, Gilgeous-Alexander's dimensions line up nicely with the ones he posted last fall. The Canadian point guard's size puts him in rare company at his position, stacking up relatively well to Shaun Livingston, who measured 6-7½ in shoes with a 6-11 wingspan and a 186-pound frame at the 2004 pre-draft camp. Gilgeous-Alexander's 3 percent body fat is the lowest ever recorded, and his 6-11½ wingspan is third-longest ever by a point guard prospect at the combine. Some might see SGA/Frank as redundant. I do not and would love to add SGA in the mix. If we rated him higher than Bridges from Nova I would have no problem or hesitation to bring in SGA. I think if he and Bridges were essentially even I would go with the position of need, but ONLY if they test out really really close.

I think SGA and Frank in the backcourt will be rally good combination for years.
If there's an opportunity to trade up to the second pick, do that. Otherwise I would really look into trading with the Clips. I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only try to make them think - Socrates

Rumor has it Bulls gave Hutchinson a promise at 22. Which could mean they go big man at 7.

He won't see the same kind of looks/get the same number of shots at the NBA level. He will be going up against better and more athletic defenders. What are the goals? If the goals is to create a fun team to watch who has no chance to ever contend, then Young can be useful. If the goal is to win a championship, then someone like Young can end up pushing you into the league treadmill. Interesting regular season guy ( maybe) but too much in terms of tradeoffs to help long term. He gets Steph Curry comparisons but the problem is when you are reliant on your long range shooting for value, you really need to offer consistent historic level shooting to make an impact. Young will end up like most shooters, a streak shooter. His shot selection is not that great. He can shoot you into a game, then shoot you out of it. Which is fine if he offered more upside in other areas. He does not. Curry was a much more fundamentally sound player at the same level/stage of development. I think Mikal Bridges will be gone before 9. Unfortunate for the Knicks, I just think his wing value is going to push him up the board. |

Lonnie Walker looking great in this work out vid:
I know, I know, so did Grant when we drafted him, but can anyone give a good breakdown of him? |
