CBS sports moving Killian Hayes up to 3, Okoro to 4 and Okongwu at 5
How good is Okoro? Would he fit with us? |

Not sure Okoro fits next to RJ due to his lack of a J, but I'm also not convinced RJ is good enough for us to draft based purely on need. 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.

I'll put out there the comparison of drafting a quarterback in the NFL -- QBs go higher than the "BPA" formula would allow. Does the point guard position have something of the same importance in the NBA -- particularly for the Knicks - -a team without a solid quarterback?

I think so but would not pass on a franchise type player from another position. Also most of these Pgs are way to young to be the guy RIP Crushalot😞

To build a team we need an engine. I’m open to taking two Pgs as well with our picks.
If we got LaMelo ball at 3-4 and Pritchard at 20-25– I’m down with it. Drafting a young pg will take time but may be a necessary process. RIP Crushalot😞

If we move up I would expect us to go after Edwards or Ball.
If we stay at 6 and Hayes is available I would expect them to take him If Hayes and Ball are taken before our pick I would think they pick the better of Anthony or Haliburton. If we get pushed down to 8-10 it would be the best of Haliburton (slim chance to still be available), Maxey, or Mannion. I could definitely see a scenario where the Clippers #27 is used to move up a spot or two for the knicks to have a chance at either Hayes, Ball, Haliburton, and Anthony.

If they skip the rest of the season and go straight to playoffs, I hope the non-playoff teams also get a tournament where the winner gets the number 1 pick in the draft. Maybe split it so the worst 8 teams battle it out for the 1st, and the remaining non play off teams battle it out for the 3rd or 4th or 5th or something. Helps all teams get t the 70 games mark that the league needs for tv rights (or whatever).

I agree, we shouldn't look at Okoro in the top of the draft. Not without extensive workouts. There are good with higher potential that actually fit positional needs we should focus on first. 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.

My top two are Edwards and Ball. The order after that is fluid. If we get screwed again in the lottery, I think I might favor Cole over Obi. Better upside and he fits a positional need. I always say this, but I think there's probably better value lower in the draft after the top 5 and we should probably trade down of we're stuck at #8 again. Always... always remember: Less is less.

If a "Wise Man" would speak, you'd listen.
If you can draft a Wise Man, you don't pass that up. |
