Kinda reminds me of Bruce Brown. He's got PG height but plays bigger because he plays strong and tough. He projects to improve as a shooter more than Brown has, and he's also got some upside as a passer. He's one of the youngest players in the draft too. He's got a lot of good tools to take a shot on, but he's a developmental type for the time being. I should add, since he's strong as hell he can drive through smaller guards and finish.

Why y’all keep saying they not gonna convey? Those protections aren’t terrible. Detroit is a team on the rise. They don’t need to be a playoff team, they just need to be about as good as us by 2026. The Washington one could convey next season if Beal stays. The Bucks one is only top 4 protected in 25.No doubt they can get Brunson, cause he is going to play for whoever cashes him out. But the question is should the knicks be making moves to dump picks to clear up space on a bad contract while also setting up picks that might not even convey to first rounders in the future? I think the answer to that is a resounding no. They need to tear this shyt down and build around RJ, Toppin, Quickley, and MAYBE Mitch, but Thibs aint in New York for a rebuild and won't survive that so time to throw away picks and roll the dice on a nikka nobody outside of the Dallas Fort Worth area heard of until the Jazz made him a house hold name in the 1st round of the playoffs.
Bonus points for giving his father a fukking job. Thats some ncaa type of foolishness right there

most embarrassing draft in recent memory
We’re trading away bad contracts to spend money on more bad contracts. Lol.

All I'm say is this, I was called out for saying Brunson is an average pg and wouldn't move the needle for this team. Reading the last few pages, seems like majority of yall FINALLY woke the hell up.
Just be a casual fan of this team, it’s a lot less stressful.

Kinda feel Trevor keels should have been a lottery pick, I'm not trolling either. He's a great player for today's league.

man shut up
he's not average its just pointless to pay a B level player 25 million when we're so far away as a group. a signing of that caliber is a cherry on top signing...not a signing to just get to the play-in at the 8th seed
i wouldnt even mind signing him if we didnt have bum ass julius here eating up 25-30 million every year out of the cap
he's the type of signing that wont let us see the top of the lotto and finish out 37-45 while hindering the development of players younger than him on rookie deals still
signing him would be something marginally above a lateral move. its just a purgatory move.
there is nothing average about this....theres just no point in bringing this guy here to be some sort of 1-2 punch with julius randle.
any playoff scenario would end up with us getting smacked.
can only hope there is some pivot to throw a bunch of picks at the spurs for dejounte....and getting julius the fukk up outta here
