He is small, and I am not convinced he will do the same thing against NBA talent (I guess time will tell). We needed someone who could guard Trae Young and who could hit a three. I like Cooper too but Trey Burke’s showed out in summer league too but proved to be too small on defense to be a starter. Cooper looks the same. Trust the Process

I think it’s our FO finally getting better at scouting talent- and then partly it was a deep draft this year. A lot of you guys probably forget or don’t know, but the draft used to be like 7 rounds.
Excited about our youth potential of this squad- sad that Knox couldn’t be here- and excited that our FO has amassed a solid # of second round picks over the next several years. |

Increase the number of picks you make you increase the results. We used to trade them away. So basically its the odds. We used to employ what were good scouts but if you trade them picks you don’t get opportunity. Keeping them is also paramount. Ariza was traded for on the way down and out Steve Francis. And………….teams always miss picks. One team vs 29 others. The odds are the grass will look green somewhere. Every teams fans kick themselves. Sometimes you hit it like Donovan Mitchell at 14 when Frank, Dennis and Monk all look bad in comparison. But its summer league. Even if a player is “killing it” its no sure thing he pans out. If struggling its no sure thing of failure. Speaking of second round multiyear commitments………..Mitchell Robinson! We are also keeping guys that perhaps later can become trade fodder. while frank was a failed pick, we still gave him 4 years. HE came close. Showed potential and perhaps if injuries did not occur he might have developed enough to at least have some trade value. The point is not demonize the pick but that was held him 4 years. Knicks never did that **** before. We were Patient, thats the key!! |

Cooper could literally be anything at this point. A ball dominant guard with an iffy outside shot and not a lot of size...even with innate playmaking ability and talent, on the NBA level you can still wind up with Sebastian Telfair. With minimal/size wingspan I think the one thing we can definitively say is he won't be much on defense. He was always gonna be a bit boom or bust. Intriguing guy for sure, but a long way to go before we can see if he sticks.
