Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?

Look at the defense,that hang dribble
That splitting of that pick in roll.

:why:



He has the tools to be special, gonna take a few years though and if the Knicks do draft him they're probably going to throw everything at Holiday.


If they draft an SF, it's going to be difficult for that player to develop until Melo is moved too.

I was on Realgm Knicks and they hated on this man. Saying they take Monk,Smith,Fox over him. A chucking 2 guard who plays no defense. A midget point guard who plays no defense and a bigger Ish Smith. :stopitslime:
But poiiiiints...
Isaac is the defensive player the Knicks need he was the impactful player on FSU.
If we pass on Isaac for a guard not named Ball or Fultz Ill be sick.

I think Issac could move into the top 5, especially once the workouts happen, I think teams are going to take a long look at him vs Tatum.

I wouldn't take any of those guards over him, but the Knicks are in a position where they need a PG because that will help bring out Kristaps game more. If they draft Isaac they will basically have to sign Holiday or try and find one of the trade market.

You the poster "Derento" that's been going to bat for Isaac in the draft thread? I tried to tell these cats it's not about what he is now but he's could be developed into in the circumstances but they just kept repeating "Anthony Randolph had tools" so I gave up arguing.

Mason in the second round seems realistic...if he was a couple inches taller he'd be a first rounder imo.

Edit: I think if they're gonna pay a PG, they should invest in Teodosic. He'll be cheaper than Holiday or Teague (other guys I could picture them throwing stupid money at) and he'd stop gap it so they could pick a PG next year or develop someone like Mason.

I'm not a fan of Bill Self perimeter players, especially PGs, he seems to do a horrible job preparing them for the league and Mason being 5'11" doesn't help matters. There's always the prospect of trading with the Celtics for Rozier or Jackson, they are high on Demetrius Jackson but there's no playing time for him, and if they get one of the top 2 picks then they're getting yet another PG.

It sounds like they plan on going after a PG in FA, Holiday isn't a bad look if he remains healthy. I think Teodosic is Spurs or Jazz bound.

I take it you want Isaac?

It depends on where we fall and who's available. I don't like Tatum or Monk at all and I haven't seen enough of Frank to fairly compare him to the college players I like. I'd take the shot at Fox or DSJr (after passing medical exams) over Isaac though. We need a PG badly and those two have enough upside that I'd take a shot to build their skillsets.

I'd go with Isaac over either Smith or Fox, there's just so many PGs now, and wings are a lot harder to find, especially those with Isaac's physical profile + skillset. In an offseason where Otto Porter and KCP will probably get max money, I'd definitely have to draft the SF over the two PGs. The only PGs I'd take over Isaac are Ball & Fultz.

Yup
They had Lauri Markannen over him
I tried to explain he would be god send for the Knicks Defense he can guard wings and stretch 4s while also rim protecting and defensive rebounding. But all they look at is points. All they said that he's skinny so He's like Ingram. Isaac was much better defensively Ingram.

I just think Isaac fits the profile of what this team needs right now, which is: the highest overall ceiling. I think we'd end up happy with fox. He's fukking tireless, he'll make incredible plays, and he'll get KP the ball in position. I'm sure we'd have fun rooting for monk to go off, in the way devin booker can go off. I think Dennis Smith could be really exciting, especially in the open court. And I think tatum could end up scoring in bunches, and even contributing on defense. I really like Frank, but admittedly will have to wait to see how he measures/tests out. I think he and Isaac are the best two-way threats available to this team in their range.

We'll see how it shakes out.

I don't know if it's Euro ball or what but every clip of Frank N I see leaves me kind of like :ld:. He doesn't seem to make explosive moves to the basket which is the first thing I check for in pointguards these days. The rest of the game tends to play off that. He doesn't look slow but I don't see that quick burst at all.
