You really wanna take a chance pick a big that our coach might not like???? I'd rather pick the best player.

i'd rather pick a new coach and the player we want.
You know we can't do that, but i'm sitting here watching some of these guys draft videos...... If the Nolan Smith is there when we pick, I wouldn't mind that at all. senior from dude but looks to have the handle like Jamal Crawford, Averaged 20 pts and 5 asts.
If that isn't a lottery pick I would be all over him Imo.

the only problem with nolan smith is if he's going to be able break his man down offensively, he's kinda on the slow side from what i've seen. there were the same questions about deron williams when he was at illinois though so we'll see. i like nolan smith, would just like to see some of his workout numbers first.

I was looking at Deron Williams stats and Combine measurements, but I don't want it to seem like i'm comparing the two. Just saying I was think about too.
But looking at his Duke footage, his ability to shoot and the way he was breaking down the D with his dribble finding teammates or scoring made me wonder if this guy could be something like a lesser version of Deron.
Playing four years at Duke you know Coach K taught him how play, so that's a plus too. If we walk away from the draft with this kid I wouldn't be mad at all.
Forget any Dwight Howard or Chris Paul speculation.
The task for the entire Knicks scouting staff is to decide on the best free agent gems from around the world in about two months.
The absolute critical element will be the ability to find at least FOUR unknowns who can play basketball at an NBA level.
No piece of cake.
