Atlanta already has a couple of picks but may move some around anyways. Or Tari Eason who may be a gamble due to some injury risk to his foot. But who knows they may be scouting a few kids they like more. |

Knicks definitely may target players who were on their radar in previous drafts that need a change of scenery. These picks don’t have as much value as a typical draft currently, but that will change during the draft itself once prospects shift around and other teams find targets they really like. Until then, I’ll bet the Knicks come away with one of McCullar, Dunn or Carter, all fit the Knicks typical mold. |

Atlanta already has a couple of picks but may move some around anyways. Interesting thoughts on Griffin and Eason. Griffin I assume we could get with 1 of these picks - would depend on whether someone on Knicks think they know him well enough to unlock his potential. I wasn’t a fan of his out of Duke - seemed 1 dimensional and not a great athlete (always injured). Eason would cost more (I assume) but he seems like Thibs guy and really think we need someone other than OG (not named Josh H) as a long wing defender. |

The picks are assets. Knicks only want to use the assets when its worthwhile. We actually need to replenish youth/cheap contracts at the bottom of the roster, but if we don't like the depth of this draft I wouldnt be surprised if we trade out of this year and into a future year with these picks to stockpile even more. I also could see us trade one of the picks out of the first and into the 2nd (multiple 2s) to keep costs down. McBride/Rokas example.

I expect them to have a couple guys targeted for the 2nd round but I think it's more likely they kick those 2 FRPs down the road which would expand that war chest even more.BigDaddyG wrote:Rookie wrote:As it stands, we are projected to pick 14th and 24th.
