Knicks · Mario Hezonja (page 1)

Orlando declined to pick up his option. Hasn't performed in the NBA, but it's unclear whether he really had an opportunity behind Fournier. What does it take to pry Hezonja away from Orlando? I would guess he is much better than any SG/SF we have on the team right now and at 6'8 if he takes that next step, would be a really lengthy SG next to Ntilikina, KP and Kanter.

I don't know that him being better than McDermott is cut and dry at all.

you should never go for guy who claims that he's better than Kobe, despite playing in Europe as bench player.
I'm pretty sure that Magic gave him a chance, but he failed because of his head. Thats one thing that NBA scouts fail to notice.

They picked Hezonja, I don't think OKC FO are that smart. Even they picked KP at 5, it would just be totally luck.

More interested in trading for the rights to Janis Timma.

Much higher picks have failed for all sorts of reasons

Buyer beware
