Knicks · New York Knick mananagers with our 2 2second rounders (page 1)

take a very hard look at this kid from Harvard named Jeremy Lin. Very very impressive looking basketball player. Very athletic with tremendous spring in his legs and great all around game with toughness and top notch IQ. Listed at 6-3 + plays bigger. Real fast with a nice handle and jumpshot. I think this kid would be listed as a top 30 pick if his shirt said Illinois etc.. on the front. This kid is legit.

That's interesting. There hasn't been a Harvard NBA player since the 50s though. How good can you be if you go to Harvard?

Believe in Briggs his research is really good. Its the current team he hates. Forget the stereotypes.

Perfect type kid for this team--very very quick and athletic with a lot of skill and nice jumpshot> Best Asian guard I have ever seen--not even close. I would have to imagine NBA guys know who he is because he is going to be playing in the NBA next year. He knows all of the intricacies of the game--very high basketball IQ

it is his overall game--in this particular style of play. You get a combination of top notch intelligence speed and athleticism with nice overall skills. In 7 sec or less you need guys who can move up and down the court and know how and when to make a play with all of the skills in the package.

I suppose Briggs isn't alone - I just dug up this article about him:

Do we own our own 2nd rounder? And the other is Denver's right? So a high 2 and a low 2.

Amazing. Can't wait to see if he makes it. This will be in the back of my mind.

"Denver has the right to swap their 2010 2nd round pick with the LA Clippers 2nd rounder, at their option, as part of Marcus Camby trade. This pick will be conveyed to the Knicks as part of Renaldo Balkman trade. "

LOL so its up to Denver if we get the Clippers pick? They will keep that one for themselves and give us their crappy one.

so you're saying he's what Chris Duhon is supposed to be?

BRIGGS @ 12/7/2009 11:06 AM
Two smaller college PGs guards to watch--these guys will both be steals where they are drafted.

Jeremy Lin--6-3 205 Harvard

Charles Jenkins 6-4 225 Hofstra

Luke Harangody is the big in that category. I have seen him a couple times and I think there is some Zach Randolph in his game. He's not an NBA althete but he really plays well with contact and is very saavy hig BB IQ player. He's got better range on his jumper than he shows and he gets after the ball. I think he's in the mold of a better scoring Malik Rose, really a poor man's Zach Randolph. He's a physical guy that gets after it and can bury the jumper from anywhere. Would be a good bench player for us

I believe it is our choice and we would take the Clippers 2nd round pick. Right now that is #14th in the second round as the Clippers are playing fairly well for them 9W - 11L

Briggs-I was impressed when Lin dunked the second time in traffic. But when he took Dyson's lay-up and pasted his face with it I was a believer.

We are going to lose this kid to Wall Street.

Caseloads @ 12/7/2009 9:02 PM
Nah, you make more as PG of the knicks. I think Lin can make it in the first round.
BRIGGS @ 12/13/2009 9:30 PM
He's not on any mock drafts either but let me add Manny Harris to this list. He also has first round talent/skills and good size for the G position.

Our new and improved Larry Hughes??

sidsanders @ 12/13/2009 10:41 PM
hes goin up against gtown in his next game, should be good. kinda cool hvd has beaten bc the past 2 years.
