My Posse's On Broadway: Official NY Knicks 2016-2017 Season Thread

[I.V.]

Knicks have two 2nd's, I'd package to trade up and grab Diallo on a flier. But not at 7, chill.

And that's from somebody who likes him.

That's pretty much the story every year. The NCAA season creates a hype train, then the close studies reveal slow first steps or lazy defense or lack of awareness and guys go from "once in a life time" to "well...his floor is pretty good but the ceiling got lower"

Nobody thought Thon Maker would go lottery, nobody thought he could play at this level at this stage. Look at Thon's per 36's and the impact he's had defensively starting in the playoffs for Milwaukee. Going forward he's going to be their starter as early as next season. Everybody thought we reached on KP and they said he was too skinny to be a contributor in year one, dude was damn near RoY.

While I agree with you on College being overrated, I wouldn't draw any comparisons between Thon/KP and Hammy, mainly because of size. They're legitimate 7+ footers and even if their offense doesn't come around they can still alter shots and be a problem on defense.

Diallo has a lot of potential, but taking him at 7 is a huge reach, if he were 6'8 with the same skillset and athleticism it would be different, but at his size it's a real gamble.

The only thing I have faith in is Phil drafting good players

He's not in charge of that though the scouting team is

If y'all able to get a second first and draft Hamidou
He gon bring the Knicks back and put NY back on the map
