Anthony Edwards is the obvious choice. Other than him, there are a few undersized (similar to Mitchell in size), athletic wings such as:

Isaac Okoro
Jah'mius Ramsey
Tyrese Maxey
Josh Green
Elijah Hughes

A wild card is Jaden McDaniels. He's a 6'10, rail thin, athletic wing who came in to CBB with a lot of hype. He had a very inefficient freshman year but he has loads of potential. Someone will snatch him towards the end of the 1st round. Dont think he will be there for us which is why I rarely mentioned him. If he is there at 27, we need to grab him. With the right coaching staff, that is patient and has a knack for player development, I can see him having an impact in several years.

Maxey has a bit of Mitchell to his game. RJ Hampton has some LaVine to him. Obviously that is with everything going right-and some. They could also be busts. But they have some of the same traits athletically.

I think the knicks should trade the pick for a future pick or a young NBA player

Vassell is the Michael Jordan in this draft.

Jesus.

Otherwise, Portland has a couple of kids worth grabbing because.

Problem with any drafts is that the chances of you picking out the Donavan Mitchell is just as good as one getting the next Denzel Valentine. Why I feel the Knicks do what you like to do, make several picks in case one happens to stick.

But if we are all guessing....I will pick Vassell, Bey, Green, Stanley and Maledon

With all the changes you think the knicks cant’ develop players?
Because:

Too many distractions?
The Water?
Practice facility in Westchester?
Because Perry?
Because the cologne Mills used can still be smelled?

the draft this year is weak and I don't see any NBA ready players (no NCAA tourny to scout)...MAJOR CRAP SHOOT

Young players get coaches fired, you just seen what happen to Thibs, Gentry, boylen, fizdale, who all had primarily young teams.

You have 3 young guards in DSJ, Frank and Harper (none of them good enough to start) 2 young wing man in Knox and RJ and a raw big man in Mitch, if you add 3 more rookies, your talking more than half the roster being younger than 23...Why do you need all those young guys on one squad, we just saw that horror movie with fizdale..

Thats why Veteran coaches don't play young guys unless they are flat out good ballers..

How how will you convince a star to sign here and watch the development show..

You have to start winning to gain respect, i don't care if you hired Jay-z and Bey to run your FO, nobody is coming to the loser club

Some of what you say can be true. Its not easy winning with young players.

But Miller *was winning* in his window as Head coach.

This year Ntilikina, Peyton, and Dotson will be entering their first year of true NBA maturity [assuming early arrival after that 3-5 year development stage]. Of course it requires Dotson get resigned.

MR *is* still a year or two away from shedding his NBA newbie skin but he's not your typical youngin.

Barrett is and will continue to be more raw than not.

One can only hope Randle gets flipped.

Knox, DSJ, and some of the G-Leaguers are all projects.

That said, Thibs has a lot to work with. And I happen to think this is a rich draft that will expose its riches 3 - 5 years from now.

Dismissing the talent available 1 -20 is a big mistake. Lots of sleepers.
