Im convinced that if we picked Donatas you would have been upset as well

You act like Shumpert has no upside. I like Donatas upside, but Shumpert is already a LOCKDOWN defender at the 1=3 and has great size, length, speed, hops (42"Vert) and handle. There's nothing wrong with this kid at all. You won't see Rondo backing him down or blowing by him in the playoffs!!! That has value. We don't need shooting, we need defense and especially perimeter D.
And Singleton goes later. Hahaha
We always go against the wave. But last year it worked wonders for us with Fields, so who knows...

how is this any different from Tyler, as you were pushing?
pick was going to be bashed either way..
Yeah, there's nobody left that everybody likes.
most boring draft i've ever seen...i am barely watching...
Iman Shumpert stole the show at the combine, looking like clearly the most physically gifted player in this entire draft class. To start things off, his 36.5' standing vertical leap was the highest since Nick Young posted the top mark in our entire historical database (39.5') back in 2007.

Actually no. Check my post history. Look who else was left.
Knicks drafted Corey Brewers younger brother.

Goodnight. I'm out.

I forget who he wanted
If your negative all the time in the last decade, then yes you will be prone to be correct but it doesnt mean your a real NYK fan.

that seems unlikely, imho.

Mad we didn't take Selby? Hell, if we make a trade involving Toney, I could still see us taking his guy.
Yeeeeessss!!!!!!! I was calling for this pick! This kid is the all around perimeter defender we needed. He is an intergalactic athlete.
AnubisADL wrote:Please inform the Knicks we need 2 way players.
Says the guy who wanted Donatas....
Donnie is great at getting these kind of guys. People doubted Fields and how smart was everybody else with that pick? This is a kid that is a blur with the ball from end to end. He can finish above the rim. He can run the point and play SG. I'm just happy to have another solid perimeter defender and young stud with upside.
