2nd round targets:

Jeanne, thornwell, Blossomgame, Kaba, Mason/Morris, Maybe Lessort, I'd take a shot at Devin Robinson if they thought he could focus.
I like Kaba a lot, I was wondering why he withdrew from last year's draft. :patrice:

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
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.


He's the biggest risk as well, and he will no doubt get boo'd like crazy if they draft him over Fox :russ:


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.


He's 6'5, for his size he looks quick, can't look at him the same as Fox/Smith, compare him to Ball & Fultz, and neither of them necessarily look as explosive as Fox/Smith. I think Frank will probably be 6'6" with shoes on, a lot of the Euro teams list height without shoes, it's why Kristaps was 7'1" with his team there and 7'3" here (no shoes vs shoes).

He looked real mechanical and stiff in his workouts last year. Impressive, but not natural. Like he had just been taught how to shoot a basketball, but was doing it well, if that makes sense.

He's polished a lot of that out this season, getting to play consistently. I think his workouts will move him up the board. But I could be wrong.

Yeah, but just look through this thread. Let them boo, they don't know what they're talking about.

Yeah. Also, he's playing out of position. Plenty of guys succeed and thrive without necessarily having an explosive burst in the Westbrook mold. He looks natural with the ball, especially in the PnR. He defends everyone, he's shooting the ball really well... I'm not saying he's a lock to be great, but he checks a lot of boxes, and lacks any RED FLAGS that jump out at me as fatal flaws.

Baker doing his thing, as a back up he ain't bad.

I'm surprised Randle doesn't get that many minutes.

The issue with him is that he's shown no signs of being a pg. which is fine if he was a lethal scorer or shooter like a Fultz but he's not or an explosive player who gets to the basket

Maybe he develops into one but he's very raw

I'm in Penn Station waiting on my train to go home. Knicks need to get this shyt to overtime so my commute home is less crowded.

They need to lose of course:jawalrus:
