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

[storyteller]

Fox's workouts are going to have teams drooling. The speed/athleticism he's gonna flash, combined with shooting in a empty gym -- we're gonna hear a lot of stories about him rising up draft boards.

"Some [experts/scouts/officials] now rank fox ahead of Lonzo Ball!"

Get ready.

Smith's gonna do some climbing too, I suspect. But his measurables were disappointing (height and wingspan).

Avi updated. It's time to bring that GRIT back to the Knicks.

So you are a De'Aaron Fox fan.

Allegiance to the University. I do think he will be better than Lonzo Ball.

Shout out to Patrick Patterson, I just hope the knicks don't sign him this off season

He has a higher upside than Lonzo. @Malta and I disagree about him. He punked Lonzo in the tournament.

A lot of that is predicated on whether he will be able to shoot at all. Which is a dangerous risk.

Why is Mills covering his face like an extra in a Tony Yayo music video?

But jokes aside good to see them all there looking like they are paying attention..... I have a feeling they already know exactly who they plan to draft

John Wall turned out just fine and he is much more controlled than Wall was coming into the league.

I believe in him

Wall is also the fastest player end to end with the ball I've ever seen

That's overrated IMO.

At the end of the day, can you play under control? That is more valuable as long as you are not the slowest guy on the court.

Of course u have to be in control but if u can't shoot well you better have amazing quickness like Wall

The Knicks are definitely looking at Combo guards late in the draft..... maybe for pick #58 maybe to invite them to come to camp if they aren't drafted. I like Dorsey,

John Wall turned out fine, but more often than not -- a lack of jumpshot is crippling for a top guard.

I'm also a little worried that his defense won't quick translate. John wall was 25 pounds heavier, with a longer wingspan by 3 or so inches, and didn't turn into a defensive terror. Even with the speed.
