Every time I start wondering if Kevin Knox is worth gambling on, I can't get this vid out of my mind- are his dribbling and handle really as bad as they look in this:

In order to play positionless basketball we need a SF with some serious dribbling skills. Who is that? That's going to be our pick.
Unless we go for a rugged center next to KP. Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL

Porter had freaking back surgery and played very few games the last two years.
No doubt he is a gamble and fact is the team that takes him might have to bring him along very slow. Few 19 year olds can handle the physical demands of 82 game season, travel, etc while trying to get strong and body mature. These guys are still physically growing!!! If there is doubt and medical concerns one might have to look at his like the 76ers would have by taking him and delaying his inclusion. Since we are bringing KP back slowly (if need be) this might not be a terrible LONG TERM thing. Its one of many things that can happen. Interesting stuff! |

Jared Vanderbilt announced he's staying in. The kid has a lot of upside, but his freshman year was a wash. To be honest, I'd take him over Knox if just had a mediocre jump shot. I wouldn't pick first round, #36 might be worth the gamble. What do you guys think?
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.

From the Sporting News (here we go again)
Sources told Sporting News that Boston has expressed interest in Bamba, including interviewing him at the Chicago pre-draft combine two weeks ago. Bamba measured in with a record wingspan of 7-10 in Chicago, reinforcing his status as the most ready-made rim protector in the draft. |

My interest has been on the forgotten Antetokounmpo! Kostas!
Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: I really like his talent level. He’s not a fully complete player but his base talent is useful at the NBA Level. |

I would like Bamba, Carter, Mikal.
Bamba or Carter would be home runs but with Bulls high on both I no long see either of them falling like I had hope for earlier. Mikal may not be a home run. But he could be a nice winning type player that if the Knick just continue to collect will be in really good shape. Guys like Frank and Mikal could do damage on the perimeter and make the right plays and calls. Do a ton of the little things and get their buckets in the flow. Both with potential to expand their offense down the road. If you have a rotation of guys like that then you end up like Boston did this last playoffs without Kyrie and Hayward. Landing a high ceiling guy like Vanerbuilt or Kostas in the 2nd round would be the move as well. https://vote.nba.com/en Vote for your Knicks.

The more prospects from our bracket (ie Carter, Mikal, Sexton etc) that go above us increases our chances of selecting a top prospect that falls like Porter because of injury questions, Young because of his size and defense, or even Bamba if teams aren't as high on him as they are reported to be. Mikal could be a nice pick to pair with Frank, alternatively we could reach a little and draft Zhaire Smith. He's very athletic and has a lot of upside. He's an underrated shooter and could fit nicely with Frank offering a Mitchell like prospect. |

Or does he legitimately have an attitude problem and something he doesn't want to get out from his medical? |
