Knicks · Ive been focusing on the perimeter and backcourt but this guy reminds me of Karl Malone (page 1)
BRIGGS@ 2/7/2017 5:44 PM
Hes the best rebounder in college basketball. Hes a great passer--hes a really good 3 point shooter and a dominant low post scorer with excellent touch. A fair-good defender with size(kind of like malone)
Now listen out. I think KP is a 5 man--thats his ultimate position. You have Willy G as the back up 4-5 man and you insert this guy as your starting 4 right away--hes ready to go. If we build the way the SPURS do---2 in and then surrounded by shooters on both units--it gives us a formula.
I have no idea where we will end up in the draft on top. IF we can acquire an additional 1(maybe trading a future?) and parlay are two smaller picks into Dillon Brooks---thats potentially a game changing draft ON TOP of which there are some nifty players--3 point specialists and PG that will go undrafted who --maybe we can bring in 1-2 to compete for a job(like Randle and Baker did)
Its not going to show it in the video--but this guy is a passer--and if we want to run some stuff---guys who pass the ball intuitively are the best guys to get. Also this guy is 6-9 260 intimidating physical size. Hell need to run the floor harder but he looks like a serious worker.
Were not going anywhere with Noah and Oquinn--they arent going to be key pieces on our basketball team going 4ard. I think we can get this guy around pick 22-25. Its easy to say we just need guards with Willy and KP but Im not losing the next Karl Malone because I feel that way.

He looks so intimidating compared to the other players. I know it's a highlight tape - but yea, I see the similarity to the Mail Man & that would be a great combo with KP. It would be great to have a player like an Oakley to clean the boards, play defense- do the dirt work and allow KP to have it easy on D to come in from the weak side to block shots.

He looks pretty impressive. He looks like a slightly smaller Embiid, more fluid in the post.
I do have a hesitation about having two primary post guys on the team - I don't know if you can make that work in the modern NBA. You see how Philly struggled with Okafor and Embiid.
He does look good though.

Draft Express currently has him around 44th in the mock... we have picks 47 and 58 in the second right now... I'm sure he'll move up after the tournament though.

I like him, Briggs. NBA body for sure. Your comparison to the mailman is spot on.... I personally see a little of Willis Reed in him, too!

Cryz. -- the spurs have been playing 2 in for 20 years-- look at their success. The highly intriguing parts of his game is the ability to step out and pass the ball as well. Name me another player like him in the last 10 years. This could be a serious piece next to Kp -- with willy as the third big we'd be set for 10 years. Great nba players have his intimidation features but with the skill-- he also is a unicorn. One of a kind. He does look like Willis reed but with more range

Briggs that's a swell find. He passes, sets picks, can shoot, has moved in the post and hasn't finished growing He's a grown up Oakley with a tough and intimidating
