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

Gonna have to learn the hard way

Take with a grain of salt but Jonathan Givony is claiming that there is a big league wide dissonance regarding Frank and that he may fall past 14 if not taken at 8.

With that being said, Dennis Smith enjoyed his Knicks meeting (including Phil) and thinks he can thrive in triangle

He's 15 now. Perhaps They can draft Smith and trade down for Frank and get additional picks or younger.

Or the suns

Unless they trade down, I don't see it especially if Boston takes Tatum at 3rd. I've seen Monk, Smith and Ntilikina on mock drafts

The only two teams that scouted him extensively were Dallas and NYK. The other teams were probably hoping to see him in workouts but he never got the chance. So if those two pass on him, it's anyone's guess where he could fall depending on how much scouting everyone else did. Edit: Btw, I can't picture Mavs passing on him though.

Smith as a consolation prize would make me very happy but I feel like he's a great fit with Orlando...he'd be a big upgrade at PG and they could use someone as athletic as Smith Jr running with guys like Gordon and Ross. Smith's upside is insane.

For the posters on Monk, I just wish he was bigger. He can shoot, he's athletic and he's a pure scorer but outside of scoring I didn't see enough. Not enough defense or passing to make up a poor shooting night and definitely not enough to project him as a PG in the NBA...though it could be the system and role he was given.

If Smith and Frank are gone, I'd rather trade down for or reach on Mitchell than grab Monk personally. I want size and defense personally. Maybe we could coax a team two or three spots away to swap and still get him plus some kinda sweetener.

NBA Rumors Roundup: Mavs And Timberwolves Draft Trade, Paul Millsap Sign-And-Trade And Paul George Latest

Of course the Mavs and Wolves are talking swap. @tremonthustler1 Thoughts on a Collins pick? You sounded set on Lauri, so I'm interested...

For us though, it mentions Smith has edged past Smith and if Isaac is there, the Mavs want him (rightfully imo). If that's the case, we'll still have a shot at Frank after all.

He has the intangibles

I don't believe it, Dallas has scouted him hard too, if the Knicks don't pick him, they will.

Quite the opposite. I'm not a huge fan of Markkanen

I prefer Collins, but not at the expense of passing up Isaac

What are they saying about Frank because I'm not familiar with him

He's lengthy() and plays defense, is why I want to draft him. Our defense gets manhandled cause of point guards.

True...we'll see. Some boards have him slipping. Any reason..

Onunoby, Issac and Porzingis anchoring the defense will be nice for the future
