I like this guy as our second round pick. Also looking Simons, Frazier, Brown, Diallo, Melton and Kurucs

Not for nothing I always considered Puma a female shoe line except for Clydes.



Jay made the right move, though I suspect this is a deal with him in control in name only like how he use to brag about owning the Nyets and it was like a .04 share

Y'all can neg me to Bolivia but I think Miles Bridges is the guy we should target. High motor, finishes with both hands, athletic and is not a liability on defense. His playstyle screams New York and I see him starting for a long time.

He plays in the post, can start and finish a break, and hit the outside shot. Please basketball gods don't fukk us on this one. He already has an NBA body and I don't see too many players bullying him on the court. Just imagine a more athletic Anthony Mason.

We need to draft this man...

Jonathon Givony was on the Lowe Post today. Apparently, Trae Young had an underwhelming workout for the Knicks and doesn't fit the defensive mindset that Fizdale is looking for. Sexton is ahead of Young on NY draft boards.

Mock draft special on ESPN. Schmitz took Knox at 9. Woj says the Knicks are all-in at taking a wing.

I assume he really took it to Miles Bridges in their joint workout?

 

[Wargames]

He's a quick learner

and he looks like Giannis antetokoumnpo

The hype has hit overdrive for Kentucky freshman small forward Kevin Knox.

Kevin Knox Sr., Knox’s father and manager, told The Post he believes the Knicks are considering taking his son with the ninth pick in Thursday’s draft. According to an NBA source, Knox got the better of Michigan State’s Miles Bridges, another projected lottery pick, in their joint workout for the Knicks nine days ago.

“He had a terrific workout, even kicked around Miles Bridges, who is a couple of years older than him,’’ said the NBA source.

Knox, a 6-foot-9 shotmaker and the second-youngest player in the draft (he’ll turn 19 in August), has seen his draft stock rocket since private workouts began.

Contacted by The Post on Monday, Knox’s father, a former NFL wide receiver, said he senses the Knicks are serious, judging by a phone call he received from general manager Scott Perry a few days after that killer workout. Knox admitted Perry’s call partly revolved around his son’s youth and whether he would fit into a locker room with significantly older players.

Knox Sr., whose quarterback at Florida State was ex-Knick Charlie Ward, said he spoke to Perry for about 20 minutes.

“You never know, but I was thinking why would management call again to chat it up for 20 minutes about a potential client?’’ Knox Sr. said. “We talked about the roster and what a perfect fit he could be. That’s what Scott and I talked out. Scott said he seems mature for his age.

“Maybe Scott was calling to make sure I wasn’t a Lavar [Ball],’’ he added jokingly.

It sounded as if the Knicks could be Knox Sr.’s preference.

“An opportunity in New York, we’re excited about it,’’ he said. “There would be nice young building blocks with my son, [Kristaps] Porzingis, Frank [Ntilikina], Tim Hardaway Jr., [Emmanuel] Mudiay, Enes Kanter. They could be the Boston Celtics one day.’’

After the Knicks workout, the father called his son for feedback.

“He gave himself an A-minus,’’ Knox Sr. said. “He said he had a lot of energy, was bouncing off the walls. [Coach David] Fizdale came over and showed support. It was a three-on-three. I heard he got the better of Miles, knocked down shots, put it on the floor — Paul George-ish.’’

With suspect defense, Knox was originally seen, at best, as a late lottery pick because of his “project’’ status, but now there are rumblings he could go as high as No. 7 to Chicago.

“Listen, after the fifth pick, I’m not going to use the restroom anymore,’’ Knox Sr. quipped.
