This one's good, I only disagree with going JJJr over Doncic but I'm more bullish on Doncic's upside than a lot.

His questionable defensive potential is the only thing that really concerns me... and it’s entirely based on what his athletic ability truly is. I think he’s gonna be a really smart player regardless.

My take on his defensive potential is that he doesn't have great upside there but he has plenty of room to not be a liability. With his upside on the offensive end, being a solid defender is all you really need to have a high level player. There's enough size, athleticism and awareness to be a guy that you don't have to hide on the defensive end but you'll probably want to pair him with a better wing defender for the quality offensive wings. For me, Frank/Doncic/KP gives you a top three with two passers (Doncic/Frank), two good scorers (KP/Doncic), and two guys with elite potential on defense (Frank/KP) without ever mentioning that all three should be good floor spacers. You may have to tinker with the pieces between them but you can slot in a lot of skillsets with those dudes thanks to their size, length and complimentary talents.

To be fair, I see a lot of this in Bagley too as far as the fit goes. My preference is Doncic but Bagley has a strong case himself when we talk fit.

If i had a choice between a Doncic and Jackson, the ability to sign Jerami Grant would play factor in my decision.

Tonight the NBA finally rigs the draft lottery for the Knicks :blessed:


Just watch.

The gotta keep the door open for Lebron or Kawhi.

Praying for Mo Bamba and a top 5 pick at the least.

Trae Young might be a possibility also although risky :hubie:

Can’t wait for the results:ohlawd:

I had NO clue Kolby Altman was black...
It’s funny, Perry black but on a quick glimpse you might think he was white. But when you hear him speak he got that old school black speech, reminds me of my grandfather:russ:
Hopefully the basketball gods give the Knicks a break tonight :to:
We’ve made all the necessary sacrifices.

Best case scenario do knicks fans want Luka Doncic?

Obviously the team doesn’t need Ayton. And I’m not sold on him either.
