Knicks · I would like Frank Mason in round II (page 1)
fishmike@ 3/10/2017 9:21 AM
I be he would get rotation minutes very quickly. A little short but strong as an ox and as tough a dude as they come. Much more a skilled scorer and shooter than Baker. He reminds me a lot of Kyle Lowry

We off the Chasson Randle train already?
Frank Mason can score. In college. He is 5-11, which means he is shorter than that. Otherwise they'd go 6 foot. I like midget players. But Phil don't. Ron Is 6-5, big midwest white bread kid whose shooting is not bad.
Mason had a break out year, but Baker career scoring numbers are still better! Are second round picks worthy of their own threads???

We need guys that want to play and want to win above all else.... Frank Mason fits that mold. If the scouts see it then I believe it

I think its this. Whoever else will have to beat this guy out for playing time. He defends, moves the ball and knows how to play. Super tough guy who wants to win.
We have 2 2nd rounders.. I figure one gets stashed one we use on a college SR

I know nothing about the player but I like the description! We need to up our competitiveness and insist on people who won't take plays off, or their opportunities for granted
enough with the pouty sulky cry-babies with poor body language and attitude. We need guys like this and Plumlee who when the chips are down they want to pop some one in the grill, not sulk
EnySpree@ 3/10/2017 11:19 AM
We need guys that play all out

Do you think we can afford to stash a player somewhere?
Looks like we have 10 players under contract for next year.
Baker & Rose & Holiday - I have to figure only Baker comes back.
Our 1st rounder - that gives us 12.
Then, for the last 3 spots - I'd like to get players in to camp/system and see if they can contribute.

Agreed, he can play. Ideal for a 2nd round pick.
fishmike@ 3/13/2017 3:44 PM
small tough guards can be had late.. they also have some great upside. Frank Mason reminds me of what we wanted Tony Douglas to be but never was. He really reminds me of Lowry. Tough, leadership, plays both ends, knows how and when to hit big shots...
MS@ 3/13/2017 3:57 PM
Josh Hart might be available in the second round, would definitely trade up to get him. Guy defends, rebounds and can score. More athletic Danny Green/Ron Mercer type. Need to add tough minded winner to the team.

I think he's in jail for dealing drugs. Hey.. he pushed Jason Kidd when every other Knick was laying down for him

I like Frank Mason. I could see an upside of Lowry.. also reminds me a bit of Aaron Brooks who was on the Rockets and Bulls all those years.
Watching Kansas highlights, I really love Josh Jackson, too. Feel like his passing and cutting at the 3 would be a game changer for this team.
Wouldn't mind slipping into the third pick in the lotto and getting Jackson and taking Mason in round 2.

I don't see him as being close to the finisher Lowry is. Lowry was more athletic at the same stage. But I could definitely see Mason becoming a decent bench player, which is all you can ask for from a second round pick. I wouldn't be upset if we snagged him with the last of our second rounders.
