They also would be able to resign Tyreke.

This draft class has to have the worst haircuts of all time.

Only if Doncic drops to 4. Then get it done. I believe THjr & #9 will be better then most teams have to offer behind us in terms of only having to drop 5 spots and still getting a quality player back.

Clippers can overpay and trade Tobias & #13 though.

Edit Luka or Jackson

I agree about Miles. Haven't seen the other two to know if this is accurate.

I wish I could get excited about Miles...I just can't.

Just over 6'5" w/o shoes, average wingspan, average ball handler, and a jumper that might give him issues against taller players. Good athlete, tough kid, but MSU was lying about his height.

He lost weight...is he hoping to be able to play at SG?

Wouldn't go crazy if we took him, but wouldn't be jumping for joy, either.

I dont know if anyone said this on here already but there's no way we draft Michael Porter Jr. If we had to go that route, wouldn't we have gone Dennis Smith Jr? I feel that management is looking for players that can remain Knicks for a long time, not get traded to get rid of them after a few years.

My guess is Dallas takes him to pair with DSJr

How did MSU lie about his height. Most measurements are given with shoes and Miles measured 6'7" in shoes. Look at Lance Thomas is you want to get a sense of how Miles will look on an NBA court. His release looks fairly quick and compact, so I don't think he'll have much trouble getting it off. Plus, he's a lefty.

New video from his pro day:

Interesting stuff. If Carter and Young are gone, then I maybe have Knox as my 3rd choice, just above Mikal.

The main question mark is around his motor- I think maybe his blank face or lack of expressions may make him look lower intensity than he is, but at the same time what he thinks is him working hard might not be what the nba considers working hard.

does anyone remember Sam Perkins? Wouldn't mind that. On the flip side, never-nervous Pervis Ellison also had questions about motor and he was very disappointing.

personally I want someone who can dribble and pass -- make the offense a little more dynamic and flexible

He could be great or he could very easily turn out to be one of those disappointing SF/PF hybrids like Rudy Gay or Marvin Williams except less athletic! I really can't make up my mind on him!

People close to Kawhi Leonard want him traded to the Knicks, think that is best for his career
(Via ESPN).

Heard that Porter jr. missed his second workout because of hip issues, couldnt even get out of bed. Dont want the Knicks picking this kid. It could be a fake out. Sure dont want the Knicks to take that chance. Feels more like Gallo again, with each passing day.

Nope! Either he waits until he's a FA or no deal, I'm not falling for that again. Besides which Sham says he wants NY, Woj says LA, I suspect his people leaked both to maximise media attention and pressure on the spurs.

Not for nothing but if Rudy Gay/Marvin Williams is the floor thats pretty good. I mean those guys didnt have the high impact you hope (Gay I think mostly because of injuries) but they were still solid NBA players.

My only expectation is we draft someone with a very high defensive ceiling. If Fizdale is bringing that Riley mentality our front office better draft a kid who can handle it.

I'd say Charlie Villanueva is his floor. I don't think he'll be that useless, but it's a possibility. He should more in college, but can't blame him for leaving.
