Also saw that he was on one list of the most unathletic players in the draft...but he seems like the type of big who usually finds a spot in the NBA because of his shot.
Luke Kornet, C, Vanderbilt
He may not even get drafted, but a team that lands him as an undrafted free agent could get a capable and versatile NBA big. Kornet holds the all-time NCAA record for 3-pointers made by a 7-footer, with 150. A 7-footer who can stroke it from deep? I think that's a valuable asset in today's NBA. Kornet is a competent rim protector as well. His name was floated as a possible first-rounder in past years, so it would surprise me if Kornet doesn't find a place with an NBA team.

Guy has a good stroke... saw some nice things on offense. Needs to get stronger...
As a Vanderbilt kid you also figure he has some brains.

He's a computer science guy... 3.8 gpa
Thay itself doesn't matter, but you see the trend Phil is trying to build? Character guys with no excuse for working hard and buying in. This is how we have to do it. We're all alone in this. Nobody is coming to save us.

Kornet is on a 2 yr deal as reported. Some guys like Baker may not want that....in case they do well and want the $$. Knicks other undrafted from last year (Randale, Plum) are on team option deals....so you can't say the Knicks dont try and do it.

Good stuff. So no more plumlee?

Exactly! People keep forgetting these players have Agents and make different calculations. Baker is a restricted free agent so it's not necessarily a big deal unless some team LOVES him.

So is anyone starting a poll on how long before we read about someone saying how Kornet is injury prone?
