I missed the fun of pronouncing odd names, like Dikembe Mutombo. Therefore, I approve of this pick.

Although nbadraft.net is kinda crazy sometimes, they do have his comparison as Bruce Bowen. That would be nice.

2 SFs, maybe they are looking for someone to help cut down on Melo's minutes if he comes back. Don't know if Melo would play SF if he comes back though. We'll see.

holy crapola, i was just telling mins ago one of my buddies wish we could trade for giannis. very happy we got his brother!!! maybe they can learn from each other.

He's a way better athlete than Bowen. This guy is like an even rawer KJ McDaniel.

I think it's more about style of play, not athleticism. Bowen was a key part of championship teams because of his defense and ability to hit shots. But it doesn't seem like 100% level comparison on the surface.

Yeah, TA seems to have more a reckless, fullcourt quality to his game. Kinda like Gerald Wallace.

We'd all be floored if it was anywhere near Gerald Wallace.

Yeah, he'll probably be closer than Anthony Bonner than Crash, if he's lucky. I'm just comparing their energy and style of play.

guys, watch his interview on draft express from 4 min mark to 5 min mark. guy is genuine.

The Ant is in da house

HEY no joking but this kid is LEGIT!!! You will not be making jokes when you see how athletic and active he is defensively. He's HUNGRY!!! He in fact is already on his way to be being like Gerald Wallace IMO. He's a natural defender and has great timing on blocks. I was kind of hoping we might take a chance on him so this was a great pick in my book.

I love this pick just watched a 16 minute video of his strengths and weakness... This guy looks awesome. Seems to have a better shot then his bro, great handle and can really fly and seems like a polished finisher around the rim . He's a defensive stud. Plays a lot like his brother. He looks very fit and filled out unlike his skinny brother. Maybe Phil's real plan is to team up these brothers one day! This pick may really pay off next year

Good stuff. This guy will always have a place in the league as long as he's healthy. It'd be nice if he developed a decent 3.

I hear he's already developing his 3pt shot so...

his shot release needs work though

Can't wait to see a Larkin,thjr,Thanasis,early,Tyler the future is bright

I think his brother is awesome so I made a point of watching a couple of dleague games of his. I think he is a good end of the second round pick but I was not super impressed when I watched him. Hopefully he is still developing and becomes a freak like his bro.

Like this pick. This is one of my targeted players. I would have been real happy if the Knicks got Dwight Powell instead of the French player. Early fell into the Knicks lap you can't ask for more this guy was slated to go mid first round.
