New nba mock draft out

Has Trae YOung at 7 and Bamba at 8--Id take either. If Trae really fell that far Id be open to adding Frank to move up a spot or two.

I really believe the top 8 picks or so--if individually they were in other drafts--theyd all have a chance to go #1.

7/8 teams below us have 18 wins--we have 23. We have 23 games left. Even if we did something awful like 5-18 essentially 1 or 2 of those tams need to play somewhat close to .500 ball with no incentive to do so to pass us. The darn nets who have no stake--pick a bad time to lose 7 in a row.

You never know right?

Chicago is going to pick it up, hopefully. Teams that just went 4-6 over last 10: ALT, ORL, SAC. Lakers just went 6-4 to pass us in standings.

KNICKS GOTTA LOSE and let's bring on those 3rd quarter bombs!

Well we hope. Getting to the top 7 or 8 would be very beneficial. I have serious doubt Trae young will be there at 7. Even Bamba a couple of time I thought he could be in line to go 1. To get any of these players at 7-8 would take a lot of guess work off the table.

we have to lose every game

We don't, I literally posted the numbers on the previous page- some of the teams with a worse record than us play other teams with a worse record than us 8 to 10 times. Plus we have 2 games vs the magic.

Like Seth Greenburg --- I prefer Sexton over Trae at the NBA level ---- just my personal opinion and taste.

Of the guys that will likely be available Myles Bridges, Mykal Bridges, K-Knox, Sexton, W-Carter -- man it's a tough call.

Barring a MAJOR jump from Frankie -- I think Sexton offers biggest impact for Knicks.

At 19 with explosive NBA game/body -- relentless attacking nature --- I think you surround him with Lee/Tim/KP/Kanter -- Frankie/Beas/Mudiay/2nd round pick (SF Defender - maybe kid from Tulane - Frazier) and we would be entertaining to watch.

Now if we go the route of assuming Frank/Manny can be our PGs long-term -- I'm torn between 2Bridges/Knox. Mykal is ready made but older. Myles is UBER explosive and Knox is youngest (18.4) and likely best long term scorer but he feels like a PF long term because not sure I see him moving his feet and defending the 3.

Probably take a shot with Miles Bridges if no Sexton....but I do like the other players.

If we go PG in Sexton that would have to mean we've seen enough of Mudiay and Burke to use a first rounder here. In sexton now you have someone who has the opposite traits of Frank...an aggressive, relentless penetrator who plays with a lot of emotion. He plays D but his main issue is his shot. You just can't have a lead guard in the nba these days without one so he needs to show a lot more over these next few months.

I think especially as he continues to fill out, his defense , along with Frank's should really terrorize opponents. He sometimes can be a little passive, and his his handle needs work and if that also sounds like Frank, that's the only reason why I'm still on the fence. If we took Miles Bridges instead, we get a real athlete at the rim but not the same defender, shooter, and he can disappear at times too. There are interesting wings in this draft so if we do pass on the bridges, there 's a chance we still get Lance's replacement in this draft.

Bridges lit it up yesterday. It matters when you turn it on against the best teams. He did that. Frank, Bridges, and KP would make for an elite defensive team in the future. Bridges might have the highest floor of nearly every prospect.
