I don't think Cam Thomas makes it passed us. He's a guard who can flat out score. CAA client as well. We may have to trade up to get him but he can be a top 3 scorer in the draft.

Scouts don’t view Grimes as a potential star, but at the NBA draft combine last month, he likely played his way into first-round consideration as a solid NBA role guy.

It’s been an odd journey for Grimes, as he was slated as a one-and-done lottery-pick stud when he came to the Jayhawks as a freshman. He tested the draft waters but transferred to Houston after a disappointing freshman year.

At Houston, Grimes reinvented himself more as a potential role guy and complimentary shooter with passing skills.

Coming out of high school, Grimes was a McDonald's All-American and one of the top prospects in his class. The talent is definitely there. Wouldn't be mad if we took him with the 21st pick. FYI, he's more talented and better all-around than Dotson.

Also, love the fact that he played for Kelvin Sampson which means he was well-schooled on the fundamentals on the defensive end.

I can buy this. He’s a solid option but didn’t realize his value was this high. Maybe package 19 and 32 to move up a bit and draft Grimes at 21?

From reddit:

they say grimes is unlikely to be there at 32, but it seems like there are maybe 40 players who are “unlikely to be there at 32”. someone has to fall there. murphy/grimes/vrenz/primo/duarte/ziaire/christopher. of those 7, 2 or 3 of them should be at 32, and knicks have at least interviewed all of them.

There's gonna be a LOT of GOOD players where we have our 3 picks, and a lot of those have skill sets that Thibs and crew are gonna find uses for right away

I have never been so pumped to draft role players since Maurice NDour slipped through our clutches

To me you look at all these guys, use the pair of #1s on whatever the plan is be it take 2 guys, move up, package for Sexton, whatever... but I think pick 32 is gonna be a real gem and we will have a great BPA option there.

I keep thinking do we have to use both picks to move up, or could they take on a bad to do it? Next week is going to be interesting.

Or use 19 and 32 to move up and stay pat at 21 to take Grimes, Duarte or Murphy. At least 1 should still be there.

Body, movement & length/wingspan remind me of young Draymond Green.

Understanding offensive limitations that is a legit high-end defender with a great team first attitude that Thibs would probably find very attractive.

Liked how he looked taking ball off glass and leading break as well.

I like him a lot

Very good defensive player with great intangibles. Considering where he is projected to get picked (15-25), I think there will be a few better options in that range that will fill needs for us that I would consider over Garuba.

I can see us going Butler, Murphy or Dosunmo, and Bassey and then a draft and stash euro.
