Hunt right now is projected to be an UDFA. He's got some interesting upside. At least he has length. I think, at this point, using a 2nd round pick, esp 32, would not be the best path. Pick someone else and hope you can nab him as an UDFA.
Bassey will move before 32 but after 21. I suppose the Knicks can try to trade up or trade back. But this is a strong enough draft where doing that takes away volume and frankly the Knicks need more young guys with upside. Roko has some glitches that haven't been made public yet. My first tendency is to avoid. I like Bassey if he falls far enough. |

I don't think we keep all 3 draft picks I see us flipping atleast 2 to get a veteran player

). He is not NBA SF but PF. The starting comparison would be Dario Saric although Roko is a few inches shorter (but has a better wingspan because Dario has really short arms), but more athletic and agile. He has a good foundation, and it his future will mostly depend on how much he will work on his shooting.|

Yep, do anything (except trading RJ) to trade up. We can get talent to fill the team later. I think this team needs a number 1 and whether the opportunity is or isn’t there, they have to make most of their assets available. Combine picks, include some players but get something significant if possible.

Davion mitchel really only catches my eye 10-30... I’m sure one of these Euro guys might make it big but who knows.
All I see 11-30 is a bunch of flawed players who would not have helped up this series. 11-30 we can find a replacement for bullock/burks and get another future backup center that’s it. Possible high upside with one of the tall euro/Spanish league players.
I’ve looked at all the players this draft
2. We are trading up to around the tenth pick. 3. They believe one of the spanish/league/euro players have high upside 4. Trade our picks for a nba vet in his mid 20s who can help us One of these options the Knicks will go. |

The Euro is a draft and stash. He closely resembles Jeremiah earl robinson but I think he’ll be a better shooter and he’s only 18. For me the whale is Bassey. He’s automatically in the rotation and can probably be in play for a starting position within two years. Perfect c for thibs plus he has skills out to 3 which our present guys don’t. RIP Crushalot😞

Think we should find a future replacement for bullock. He can’t dribble!!

This guy really came on in the pro Croatian leagues end of year. Had a 40-10 game and here nearly a triple double. He’s a pure SF with good handLe passing and rebounding— watch for yourself. How many triple double threat players avail at 19? RIP Crushalot😞

Trey Murphy's an underrated prospect I hope we consider. Has elite size to play the wing at 6'9 with a 7'1 wingspan and the tools to be an elite defender. Shot 43% from 3 on high volume and has nba range. Sneaky explosiveness around the rim and has shown flashes of being able to create for himself. Solid 3&D player at worst but I'd definitely take him over Knox. Plus he's from Virginia and Tony Bennett's system seems to produce solid wings. Hope he's on the radar.

He is Knox with a motor and defense. I like what he does but we need a wing for the starting 5 or bench that can create off the dribble more. |

No doubt but I still like him with our early second. Gimme Ziaire Williams, Bassey, and this dude. No way we take 3 rookies but if we did I like these 3 to replace Knox, Frank, and Nerlens. Find a pg in free agency but Miles Mcbride is also somebody I like in round 2. Idk just gotta keep upgrading the level of talent... |
