These guys may not be available (after all, other teams have picks as well). These guys may not fit needs. But these are the types of guys I want, the kind of guys you battle with. The kind of guys our 90's Knicks could respect (as opposed to lazy ass Tim Thomas type guys who are there just to collect a check). I want some warriors like we used to have. Hopefully some of these fellas make sense, especially at 30. Now, I know we'll probably take a shot at one of these raw 7 footers, but if the chips fell a certain way (trades etc.), I like these guys with our other picks.


#8 -

-Danny Granger
-Deron Williams (longshot I realize)

btw, if thru some freaky occurrence, Deron Williams slipped, would we jump on him?

-Joey Graham - (he'll go in the teens)

#30 -

-Daniel Ewing
-Ike Diagu (means we traded KT and/or Sweets)
-J Jack - looks like he'll go much higher
-Nate Robinson
-J Hodge

#54

-Chuck Hayes
-Ryan Gomes
-Will Bynum
-Luther Head

Right on the money. All those guys add a toughness and defense that we are sorely lacking. We better pounce on Deron Williams if he's there and I think Isiah would. Bogut, Williams, and Green in that order are the only guys I would consider trading up for in this draft.

Look, I'm not saying I want to take Luther Head over Andrew Bogut. In general I just want to get back to guys who would make Oak & Mase & Starks proud. I want to get back to defense & guys with balls.

I don't like seeing guys play as if contact equals certain injury (Jamal Crawford). I don't like seeing guys like Tim Thomas play with zero passion.

I want Knick basketball. This draft is loaded. Find a couple of guys with toughness.
