Knicks · College basketball thread (page 1)

Jamal Warney--a guy I mentioned last year--what a skill player. Killing Damion Jones who is supposed to go #4 in the draft. The guy is an NBA player for sure. Probably a 2nd rd pick but a guy to keep an eye on all year special player. An interior version of Dray Green with range out to 18 feet.

Like parading food I like in front of me when I don't have the money to buy something.

Hopefully we pick up a pick in some way...as I've said before, though, Hernangomez is our 1st Rd pick this year.

One of the best picks from the last two years was Langston Galloway picked---not picked:) I'm looking 45 and down to undrafted. Im not worried about a pick. I will say I think that our draft picks have been much better than our trades or free agents. If we went the old Dolan way we'd probably have Al Jefferson instead of KP somehow.

here we go

Isn't it a bit early to make this declaration? Last season we were ABSOLUTELY seeing OK4 at number 1.

That was a bad prediction?

Considering he wasn't picked #1, which was the prediction. Yes.

If I pick heads and it comes up just 1 off at tails, is that a good prediction :-)?

if the coin had 30+ other sides to it yes... I would say that was pretty solid guess

Solid guess, inaccurate prediction.

Semantics aside, I think the gist of the comment is Simmons is far and away the top prospect, as Okafor was once considered far and away the top prospect.

That no one else could or would challenge that was a dubious prediction.

if it was a prediction then fine but it was a guarantee pretty much.

so he is a potential number 1? fair enough.

to bad he cant shoot. lol. thats my main concern with him. hes obviously talented and gifted for a big man. i think hes a natural PG who doesnt prefer to shoot. but hes an awful shooter. lol...like its a glaring weakness

i bet you i know as much or if not more college basketball than BRIGGS. lol

but since he has longer tenure here on this site - ill kindly defer to BRIGGS (but add my two cents)

to me the best prospects are:
1. skal Labessiere
2. dragon bender
3. Jamal Murray
4. Jaylen Brown
5. Ben Simmons
