Worth the watch. Ignore the missed 3s, rare off day for him but this guy has the IQ to thrive in NBA. I don’t think he’ll ever be a star player but I really do think he could be an instant upgrade of Bullock.

There's clearly a huge dip after the top 5, but i'm sure a couple others will emerge. With our 2 picks settling somewhere in the middle of the first round (anywhere from 10-20) i'm really looking at Kispert, BJ Boston, and Davion Mitchell right now. To me Kispert is a safe sniper at the next level who isn't a defensively liability, so he offers more upside than Joe Harris or Duncan Robinson. Similar to the impact Desmond Bane is making in the league right now, and i think Kispert is better. Boston is another underperforming (and becoming undervalued) kentucky guy. I can just picture Coach Cal talking him up to the Knicks front office as a guy who grew as a player throughout the year and should be closer to the original top 5 guy he was projected. Just a clear value pick if he lands in the 15-20 range. And Mitchell just seems like a Thibs guy. He's a very tough defender who can shoot, pass and play in a multi-guard lineup. His lack of upside will keep him in the second half of the first round, but at some point getting a player like him who is a safe, 2-way rotation guy is great value.

I want to believe in Daishen Nix. His vision is really impressive and he would blend in well with IQ. But he's looking like a Pillsbury Doughboy stand-in right now. I like Kispert if we're picking in the mid to late first round. Not sure if there's a starting role for him next to RJ, but he can shoot.

I mentioned earlier in this thread that I've seen BJ play live as a sophomore and junior. I wasn't very impressed in terms of where he was ranked at the time. I didn't see lottery talent a all. He does a little bit of everything at a decent level but didn't see a particular elite skill. He's not very athletic or explosive, slightly above average handle and average shooter. He also tends to disappear for long stretches of a game. I think he has first round talent but I would stay away from him.

Mobley and Cade are 1 and 2 for sure....

I will add that Green might be catapulting himself to three. I think he's overtaken Kuminga so far. Also, shout-out to Nix. I think he's cementing his place in the first-round.

Can't lie, I'm torn on our season thus far. Happy we are winning, but we need an serious injection of talent on this roster. This is the best draft in years, especially in the top 5. Somehow, someway, I hope we find ourselves in the top 5 or at the very least, top 8.

Oh...and I think Green will be a consistent 20 ppg scorer for the majority of his NBA career.

Yeah, Boston seems to move spastically at the college level. I'm sure the strength issue is playing a part.

He's only 6'7 and doesn't seem particular athletic or skilled for someone who came into college projected top 3. I wonder if that projection was more of a herd mentality. I can't imagine scouts watching him and each one thinking this guy is a standout NBA prospect. I just don't see one particular thing that stands out about it. But in a league where 2-way wings are at a premium, he's at least worth a later first round pick. I've seen Jeremy Lamb comparison thrown out on the low end, but that feels like a good projection for him these days.

To me he's a better defensive version of Joe Harris and that is a major impact player in the NBA. Not a star but a high level starter and role player. If he's there for us he would be a great pick.

More Kispert Propaganda.

Cade dropped 40
Jaden Springer had 21 and 6
Moody had 18
Bouknight had 24
Franz Wagner had 21

Wagner seems like a guy I can see the Knicks drafting in the mid 1st. He’s no doubt a winner and plays hard-nosed basketball on both ends. He’s a Thibs type if I have ever seen one.

James Bouknight is a walking bucket. And unfortunately for us it seems like draft boards are starting to catch on. I saw him go as high as #6 . Honestly I’d take him #1 overall in last years draft without hesitation. The only thing keeping him from entering the top 5 conversation is creating for others, which I think he is very capable of. Once tourney hits and he starts dropping 4+ AST any hope of getting him will be gone :(

Yeah...he would
