assuming these guys come ou..

I think bogut, marvin williams, paul, green, taft leaving us splitter, vazquez,petro, Andriuskevicius, villanueva, warrick,& CJ Miles.

I will be happy with any of those guys and the possibility of trading Kurt for another 1st rd pick and picking another one of those guys then picking garcia, stoudamire, robinson, ewing, fernandez, hodge, Frye, Blatche with the later picks.

I'd put Lawrence Roberts ahead of Williams. I'd take Vasquez over Splitter.. Taft is the great unknown and not a center. He's a power forward. Bogut a PF is a joke.

Tiago's measurements :

6' 10.25" w/o shoes
6' 11.75" w/shoes
233 lbs
7' 2" wingspan
9'1.5" standing reach

thats a lot different than having a Chris Wilcox-like 6'10'' Center who's really a PF. Taft does have more offensive potential than wilcox though

what do u mean in the 2nd round? those guys will be long gone by then!

you mean in the mid 1st round?

nah i think even simien will go somewhere between 15-20

those sites are nice but you cant pay too much attention to it. Simien's stock has risen since the tournament

nah dirk has footspeed Pau doesn't. He's a cross between the 2. Maybe not as good but I think at close to 7ft and mobile with skills he'll be A pretty good player.

he will problably be taken as late as Dirk was. What was Dirk the #9 pick right? splitter & vazquez will go somewhere between 7-9 hopefully one of them slips to #10-11 where we will most likely pick after Kurt returns and we start blowing games in the 4th quarter like we have ever since Kurt took over for ewing, oakley, camby. Our pick will be anywhere between #7-14 unless we get extremely lucky in the lottery, so we have a shot at those guys and if not Petro will be there.

exactly my point which is why i refuse to listen to anything Chris Ford has to say about the Knicks.

Come on man, its Chad Ford not Chris Ford.

Much like Pau Gasol and has great footspeed

Those reports have to be exaggerated because if his footspeed is anything like Pau's he will be gone MUCH before we can get him.

joe: I dont know if you already did but can you post your #1 choice for the Knicks draft pick in the 1st round?

Taft...Always has been, even though I am doing more research on other Guys, I think Taft is more of a center, which is why I think we would do great if we can draft Simien and Taft.

Thing is, I have fallen off the Sweets bandwagon recently because he has not performed as well as he should be performing. I mean everyone is bashing Taylor, and Sweetney, our top young big man has not been able to distance himself from Taylor at all. He is not getting to the line as much and he still looks like he gets winded out there very quickly. Not to mention he seems to be settling for that 15 footer a little too much for my tast. If we can Trade Sweets for another #1 and grab Joey Graham that would probably be my dream draft...Taft, Simien, Graham.

This thread posted a link to draft city that had Simien falling to the second round. I would be absolutely ecstatic if this was to happen!

As I said before, this draft is exactly the type of Draft to get alot of picks...alot of guys, especially younger kids will come out. That age limit will scare alot of people into declaring, IMO

if chris taft is still on the board i dont care about any other player, we draft him. he is proven, ive seen him play, you seen him play. im tired of this he say she say bout these european players. they all take 3-4 years to develop. this is new york, we want results now!!!

i bleed orange and blue

pau made an impact right away and dirk only took 1yr. then there's ginobili, yao, stojakovic etc
