He’s the sort of big wing/ small ball big that the Knicks can and should target as an alternative to Anunoby. The shooting isn’t there so his ceiling is probably closer to someone like Herb Jones, but I still would take that as a developmental prospect and use him the way the Knicks use McBride, but the wing version until he develops the shot a bit. Knicks need big wings who can moonlight at PF and unfortunately those guys aren’t really on the market and few would be considered an upgrade to anyone in our rotation. Dunn is a New Yorker and a CAA client so I would have to think the Knicks would be in on him and he would have interest in them. |

![]() That sweet, sweet second round pick from Detroit looking sweeter.

It’s an easy way to get a good prospect on a 4-year minimum contract with complete team control. Those end up being key value for good team building. |

Dunn would be awesome, even without a jump shot. With the Knicks having a very established system and culture, we can make informed assumptions of players we know they will be interested in. Dunn is absolutely a player on their radar. Another for me is Reed Sheppard. Although he’s another guy who may move too high up the draft board. He’s another combo guard but man can he play. Shooter and defender that is all over the floor. Maybe similar to DDV but you can never have enough of those guys. Dunn and Sheppard have Knicks pick written all over them. Even if they have to consolidate picks to move up for one of them. And getting both would be a dream. |

![]() martin wrote:Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: This list seems reasonable. I saw Ryan Dunn play once and knew he would likely be out of our range at some point. Even though he’s a big wing from NY and CAA I don’t see the way to get him unless it involves moving up significantly in the draft. He’s Herb Jones 2.0. Some guys in our range also quickly moving up: Kevin McCullar. He’s a big wing who would fit defensively. As a 5th year player I think he can only move up so much. He could be another Josh Hart in a lot of ways and would fit. Trevon Brazile is a solid option for a more traditional backup PF. He lacks size for center and isn’t a wing, but he can knock down threes and play D as a backup for Randle maybe a little better in that role than Toppin was. And my favorite is Reed Sheppard. I’m wondering if he still has another big jump in the rankings because he can shoot and plays really hard, or if his size caps him. He’s 6’2 but not a PG. He’s essentially a slightly smaller DiVincenzo but would fit the culture here. If we are drafting later in the first round the focus should be finding guys we just know are legit NBA players. He’s one of those guys. |

The Knicks try to do it every year without success though. But you’re right that’s best case scenario. |

More than next draft's total picks. |
