Didn't see anything about the players that have or are working out for the Knicks ahead of the draft so i figured it'd be nice to have one to see what types of players they're looking at. Here's a guy i really like and hope we can land who they're calling in this article, the next J.Crowder in D.Burton who i know has been talked about on here already.
Other players i've seen that have worked out for the Knicks.
Tyler Dorsey Kobi Simmons Tony Bradley Omer Yurtseven

I have Burton as pick 58 for us. You never know.
Heres another player that could be picked up at 58 but he wont be on draft boards
Sterling Brown--that was a great team(SMU) that lacked depth but they had 3 NBA role players on it Moore Brown Semi
The Knicks will like this player because hes the prototypical role player who shoots well plays good defense with good size and plays team ball(passing) with NBA 2G size 6-6 230

I need to see Josh Hart on the list eventually.

Agreed...but I think he's gone by the time we pick in the 2nd round

He could make it to pick #44 or #45.....by the way, which is it cause i see some sites saying we pick #44 and some say we pick #45?

They're clearly looking hard at PG's that they could get in the lottery and in the 2nd round.
They need to gage the talent pool... the more they see the more they well be able to tell the difference between good and bad.

Caleb Swanigan will be coming in for a workout with the Knicks. Another big man PF that defends and can hit the 3. It seems like Phil just can't get over him missing on J.Crowder cause all the big men the Knicks are interested in are good defenders that can hit the 3 pointer.
CrushAlot@ 5/20/2017 10:55 AM
I think draft net has him going to the Knicks at 44.

Frank Ntilikina, Justin Jackson, Josh Hart, Caleb Swanigan.
We need them all. IQ, IQ, IQ, IQ. Build that foundation first.

The more we look at the players in this draft it cements the fact that this is a talent rich draft. You don't have to reach or outthink yourself. Do your work and make your board. They will have options and hopefully they get some luck with guys falling to them.

It's pretty crazy just how deep this draft is. There's guys getting mocked going in the 2nd round that look like they can be NBA starters almost instantly. Now of course there will be busts in the 1st and of course 2nd round and even players taken in the lottery will bust but there's no exact science to this cause you just can't judge how bad any of these kids really want it. They're all gonna say the right things in their interviews cause they have agents that sit and go over what to say in these meetings but you can't judge how bad they really want it and if they'll put the kind of work in during the season and in the off season that it takes to start in the NBA.
If the players that most expect to be off the board at #8 are off the board then i really wouldn't mind if we traded down some in the 1st round to collect more picks in this draft and future drafts. I see guys going in the mid to late part of this draft that could easily be as good or better than some of the kids projected to go after the top 4 or 5 guys in the draft.
Donovan Mitchell Frank Jackson Justin Jackson OG Anunoby H.Diallo T.Ferguson These are just 6 kids that i would love to be Knicks and i see as starters but there's plenty more that i see as starters in the NBA one day and definitely plenty of 6th men and top backups.
I hope Phil does everything he can to trade guys like Melo, KOQ, C.Lee and whoever else not named KP or Willy to get more picks in this draft and future draft picks but i'd love to get one or two more in this draft.
We need them all. IQ, IQ, IQ, IQ. Build that foundation first.
There is a lot of good things Josh Hart represents.

Bam Adebayo and Antonio Blakeney worked out for Knicks today along with Swanigan and D.Burton. H.Diallo was supposed to work out for us today but didn't for some reason.

Diallo might be pulling out of the draft.

this thread is not a real thread until Isaac works out for the knicks.
