Denver put itself in this position by hitting on draft picks.
I'm not sure of that considering Mills and perry had no pressure to win. They picked Knox because of that idiot Fizdale
There would be crazy pressure from fans and media for him to get on the court. Especially after KP went down with injury. Followed by pressure to save the Knicks given his lotto status. With KP and MPJ both down with major injuries. I can imagine now the threads you personally would be creating.
With all that I have always felt passing up on SGA was the bigger blunder. Dude can handle, shoot, create for others with the size to slide through 3 positions.
So at this point Knox is a major disappointment, because he has had just as much of an impact as MPJ who wasn't even playing.
The fact that Perry refuse to send these guys to the G league is a telling fact of why Knox is still playing like a rookie.
From my understanding this draft is also going to be lead by Perry, so I fully expect him to pick the wrong guy, especially since the college season was cut short, this is really going to be a crap shoot.
SGA can't stop saying enough about how CP3 has been so valuable to his development
