Nice pick. Hope there is a g-league for him to tighten up his game.

This is the Randle.

Oturu. Like it. All the shooters were gone. Still thought they would pick up Ramsey or Joe. But Oturu is a nice back up for Mitch?

Intriguing...

The ESPN pre-draft blurb really makes me like him-seems to be really working on improving his game:

Pre-Draft Analysis
It's clear that Oturu's going to be a legitimate floor spacer in the NBA, especially after watching Oturu go through an hour-plus workout with Ross McMains in Santa Barbara, California. Not only is he reliable from the corners, but he's excellent above the break with great rotation, soft touch and excellent mechanics, even if he doesn't have the quickest release.

Oturu showed signs of shooting growth during his breakout sophomore season, as he knocked down 36.5% of 52 3-point attempts. But to watch it up close after months in the gym was significant, especially when pairing Oturu's shooting ability with his agility as a ball handler. The Minnesota native has wing-like fluidity at 6-10 and noted how much he's been working on playing out of short rolls and creating in space, citing Adebayo as a model.

Already one of the most productive bigs in the draft (20.1 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.7 blocks), an All-Defense selection in the Big Ten and an excellent finisher, Oturu's passing ability is the missing piece -- he finished with just 33 assists to 88 turnovers under head coach Richard Pitino last season. He'll show glimpses but can still fine-tune his decision-making and ability to find the open man once he's in motion. If he can sharpen his floor game, there's no reason Oturu can't carve out a consistent role at the NBA level. - Schmitz

Oturu isn’t going to be a Knick I guess.

Well, I wanted different picks but I can't go crazy. This is where I trust the new regime knows what they're doing. And certainly I will wait to see how free agency and trades might reshape things.

Time for bed now!

True. Also thought they may go after Maledon. He was as high as 19 on some mocks.
Clear that the Knicks did not have a lot of confidence in a true PG in this draft. May be a sign that they are targeting a starter via draft or FA?

The Knicks stayed away from decent point guards all night long. I guess the FO still has very high hopes for Frank and DSJr.

I warmed up to him too. That kind of blows.

Double draft.
