Im assuming M Porter will not make it down to 9 but Im taking Khyri Thomas combo guard out of Creighton. Fool me once shame on me fool me twice shame on you. This is the smart pick.

Final pick this week or final pick before the draft?

Briggs mistakens "create new thread" with "post new tweet"

This is it unless we move up or Porter moves down.

So because Mitchell is awesome, you are drafting the player with the closest physical profile at the 9th slot, regardless of where that player is projected to go? Is that the plan here?

The Trae Young train done left the station.
If Steph Curry plays soon, Briggs will change his mind.

if the Knicks don't get their guy at #9, could be a good year to trade back to #12, #13 with LAC if they can.

Well, thats saved us and the Knicks having to bother with the combine or any workouts! Hopefully finalising our draft pick by 24th April will be an annual policy.

Nah Hes not D Mitchell but Im not being fooled by someones age. Hes a late blossoming guy who is a real solid two way player. If I can trade down a tad and pick up two players including Thomas--great. Im staying with Thomas Sexton and Mikal B as the fall back. I think Im passing on big men here.

I think the Knicks take Bridges--just a guess.

Lonnie Walker > Khyri Thomas.

Sh-t in the popcorn to go with sh-t on the court. Its a theme show like Medieval times.

He probably wont take the NBA by storm his first 2 seasons. But I see a lot of Jrue Holiday in him.

Drafting him your going with the plan of a 2-way backcourt of Khyrie and Frank down the road. I could get behind that vision.

Draft is a crap shoot if Khyrie is a hit your getting a 2-way beast at PG who if you combine with Frank and the flashes he showed at the end of the season. To go along with Burke supplanting either of them off the bench for instant offense. Again I could get behind that vision.

I like Bamba if he falls. Right now mocked at 8.

He's got great defensive potential and he plays off the ball.
Having KP/Bamba frontline would be sick with Frank on the ball defending as well.

Bamba if he's gone, I'm comfortable with Mikal as well.

Could you imagine the defense in their primes two/three years from now with Bamba, KP and Frank in one lineup?

How so? Thomas is certainly the better shooter.

Sexton imo wont be there at 9. Cavs will take him at 8 unless they get in the top 3.

I would go Bamba as first option
Carter at 2nd option

While I like Mikal Bridges I would like a trade down for multiple pieces better then strictly drafting him. A trade down to nab Khyrie, Hutchinson, & Johntay probably using our 2nd and another asset to get a late first and give him a promise.
