Knicks · Maybe we should not mess around and take this guy with 44 (page 1)

Thinking he will be there at 58 is risky. Love this guy--better in the NBA. Nasty on both sides

Briggs, he's exactly what we need...toughness. We have to target Burton. He'll thrive in the NBA and will have an impact immediately.

Dude is an enigma. You know how they say Bumble Bees shouldn't be able to fly? Burton shouldn't be able to be as quick, agile and explosive at his size n weight. It's kinda crazy . Phil seems to have him on his radar so we'll see.

I like him a lot. He's not your typical 266 lb lumbering player. He's intense and has a nice jumper and is clearly competitive. I'd like to see us get a second 1st rounder at 12 and pick up Jackson. He's two way and so is Burton. Where we differ is Frank N. He concerns me as there is a significant question mark. I'll take Monk or D Smith beforehand.

I don't see him listed as even being drafted on nbadraft.net or draftexpress.

If these GM's thought the way you do then why would he be there in the 2nd round especially at 44 or 58??

Im kind of going with what has been perceived as our weakness--defense.
Im looking at Frank N Jonah Bolden and Burton. I think those 3 would really help the defense and diversity. IF we add a second high 1st rd pick I think it should be a scorer Kennard F Jackson OR if a quality defensive BIG is left(Allen?).
So I have my 3 picks 8 Frank N and 2 second round picks in Bolden and Burton--if there not there--then you know the other names etc Mason hart SWanigan etc...
. Phil seems to have him on his radar so we'll see.
