Also, I notice they dropped Darius Morris out of the first round and bumped Jordan Hamilton into the lottery. A little interesting since both tested subpar in the combine. I like Hamilton and think whoever gets him is going to be happy.

His stock keeps dropping because he doesn't have the "potential" label. Everyone always overvalues the unknown. I don't think it is a knock on his skillset
Could be that or maybe his contract has a screwy buyout. I wouldn't mind drafting him and stashing him in Europe, especially if we're able to get another first rounder.

I remember this happenig with Tiago Splitter
I don't think he'll be a star, but he'll be a good player, and the Knicks could do a lot worse.
I am not anticipating that he'll fall to the Knicks, but I would be happy with the selection if he did
I take the opposite stance: sometimes guys get on the draft board because of raw talent, then they don't pan out. He's stayed on draft baords a long time now, and that's a good thing. He's a proven commodity at our pick. At the third or seventh pick, maybe I have a different stance
i can see a team like the warriors draft singelton as he can help them with their defense.. I dont see marcus morris going high
i really want faried or singleton on this team.
People knock on faried's height saying he wont be able to defend well in the nba.. look at udonis haslem, he is undersized but has done a great job defending dirk
I like Chris Singleton. Ready for the NBA - ACC Defensive player of the year. That is what we need. Another strong defensive player. At 6'9" 230lbs he is big enough to play PF. Look at his neck - Strong but no length. That means his shoulders are probably at the height of someone 6'10 or greater. He is a tough player.

I really like him but im scared he wont get to play. We have melo,fields and shawne williams in from of him.
This guy is the ideal MDA player. At this point don't know if that is a good thing. Need is a center that is shot blocking and defensive menace not to mention a rebounding fool is a must. Skeeta part II, just saying.

Did you see the first few seconds of the highlights? It's all him blocking shots.
HIghlights Smighlights, the kid isn't a defensive player. Yeah he's 6-11 hes blocked a few shots. He's not a shot blocker look at the numbers. I could put together a real with Jarred Jeffries blocking shots.
What day is the draft in June?
Motiejunas - a big man who can't board; who can't defend the post or block shots. He's just what we don't need.

We don't need more picks. This draft is filled with alot of scrubs.
We have no pick next year. It's pay me now...or pay me later...
