Wow..I forgot Larry Hughes and Shannon Brown had a cup of tea with us...
Bruno Sundov will win this easily..Although Chris Smith will challenge him in the regionals..
Not deserving of being on this list are: Othella Harrington, Keith van Horn, Channing Frye.
Also, as mental as Marbury got and as bad an attitude as he had, he was the best PG the Knicks have had in the past like 15+ years. Probably have to go back to Derek Harper, unless you make a (weak) case for Felton v1.0
Such a sad statement.
And they gave up on Jordan Hill too early.
But everyone else was undoubtedly awful. What a horrible list!
Worst is not a measure of talent, but a formula of disappointment/expectation/salary/years of contract and starphuchedness.
Awesome list. Eddy curry has to be a final four form any reasons.
He was to be paid by bulls to retire, they didn't want to kill him, yet Isiah traded two 1st round picks and paid him well. Basically Joakim Noah and Aldridge for him. The Heart episode, the good season under Larry, the weight gain, the weird accusation by his limo driver.....Just adds up.
* Jackie Blue Butler!!!
* The era of "Q"!! Quintel Woods and Quntin Richardson!!!
* Anucha should be on the list!
So many memories!!!! So few years!
I would love to know what percentage of guys on the list was out of the NBA within a year after playing on the Knicks..I'm thinking over 50%..
They need to swap out Zebo for Jonathan Bender..Marbs for Sergio Rodriguez..
More misery? Only knick fans like to constantly wallow in self hate. "Bracket of sadness"? Smh
Jordan Hill was a brutal pick like all of Walshs picks. He had Derozan there and let him slip away

This is why I am not a Phil hater. You look at our history, we literally stank at drafting up until 2015. Almost all our picks were misses, and the one decent pick we made we traded away to Denver.
I hope Willy/KP are a start of a new trend. We need to nail this pick. We can not draft another Balkman, Hill, or anyone like that. No Sweetney. Nah. Not even Channing Frye. We need a good pick here. Not a superstar maybe, but a 8 to 10 year starter. Someone the level of Gallinari would be just fine with me (but hopefully at the PG or SG position).
Come on Phil/Gaines, change this trend. Lets atleast be a team that drafts well now.

Oh, no doubt. I won't argue about that. It was a bad pick. I guess I just meant once he was picked. But ok, I'm willing to throw him back in the junk heap.
You knew that Jordan Hill would be a problem when he reports to Summer camp out of shape, right after he gets drafted.
Although Balkman makes me cringe most. I remember Brenden Subr was interviewed and he talked about how the team didn't need any players to contribute right away because they loved the roster the way it was. He called Isiah Thomass'drafting "magic." They drafted Balkman and went on to win 23 games. Delightful.
