I like all these guys. Jawad or Gomes would be solid 30 picks and Maxwell and Dijon would be great 54 picks.

I think Jawad Williams could fill a definite role at SF for the Knicks, especially if we go big early.

Gomes and Dijon fill the backup SG void.

Maxwell seems talented, but really an odd fit position wise. Is he the next Malik Rose?

Luke Schenscher. this kid is a must in the second round. I am not interested in anyone shorter than 6'10", and I hope that Isiah thinks the same way....

Maxiel is a good player and I suspect will stick in the league. He's a little more explosive than Rose. Hard worker.

Jawad is an exact duplicate of Tim Thomas

Give it a rest already. The Knicks aren't going to pass on a good talent regardless of the height issue. I agree that it would be nice to use the 8th pick on front court help, but height alone isn't going to dictate that pick or the 30th first rd pick.

This is true, Isiah always takes the best player available on his board. I hope Hodges drop down to 54th pick. He will be a solid pro, his versatility will become a strong point.

I like the group too. It will make for a good work out.

I wonder if they make them play 2 on 2 because the match-ups are pretty even and would make a serious game.

Is Ruben Patterson a better comparison? I haven't seen him, only heard that he dominated Portsmouth Invitational.

Seriously, that'd be fun to watch.

I like Jawad a LOT. Whoever said Tim Thomas is flat out WRONG. Jawad is all heart and effort. Kid plays great D and will do what it takes to fit in to the team around him. He's 6'10" but moves like a gazzelle, but isn't too skinny either. He could be more of a Posey type in the league.

Gomes I've heard a lot of good things about, but he never really impressed me. But if Zeke likes him at 30, he certainly fills a need.

If Dijon fell to 54, it'd be fun to have he and Trevor on a super defensive bench unit.

he did dominate, but thats pretty weak competition. No.. Rose is better. He's really a PF. He's got good wheels but he's not a perimeter player.
