Thanks for posting. Love Maxeys intensity and especially his workout regimen. Shows dedication and work ethic. If we land one of Maxey, Okoro, Lewis or Terry I will be happy. Maxey is at the top of my list, though.

Am I the only one who wasn't impressed with Maxey? Nice kid and certainly worthy of a teens/twenties selection but I wouldn't trade out of Vassell for this kid.

This is like a long wait in a restaurant poring over the menu..."the chicken looks good, but the chops here are supposed to be great. But maybe I should get the fish with a side salad...." And when your order gets there you look around the table and wish you had what they ordered.

I liked Maxey (always have), but Edwards looked really bad I thought

I'm mixed on Edwards. His footwork and handle looked really smooth. Not worried about the misses in practice, but I'm a little concerned about his conditioning. I liked that Maxey is tweaking his shot for the better. Good athlete and he was in shape. He looked smaller out there to me for some reason. The wingspan is legit tho.

Maxey's "tweaking" looked awful, IMO. I'm simply surprised that he hasn't watched Allan Houston's tutorial on shooting the basketball. To get this far, tweak, and still have an underaverage shooting form is a red flag for me.

Baby steps. It looks better than it did in college. I'm more worried about how his size will impact his versatility on the court. He's a good athlete, but is he Mitchell level? Is Maxey explosive enough to start at the 2 with a J that's average, at best.

Not the biggest fan of KOC's analysis, but he doesn't really BS and his sources are solid. Would it be too much of a red flag in the unlikely scenario that has Ball falling to us at #8?

I've said for a while that I thought he would drop through. If its between him and Vassell at 8 I think I still go with Vassell.
There's a reason players like him drop through. Personally I think he's a teens pick with at least 5 PGs who could easily draw as much if not more interest.
I'm hoping (beyond hope) that Vassell is still there at 8 - he's just a perfect Thibs fit. But those tapes of his defensive prowess just shine.
This entire draft is loaded with unknowns. Ball is the kind of guy that small market teams need. He's got a teeny bopper following cult-thing going which works on the left side of NY's America.

I'm not as set on Vassell because I think you can potential 3&D guys in the back end of the draft. But these latest Ball rumors make you raise an eyebrow. Are they enough to make Hayes the #1 choice at PG?

Has there been any news whatsoever about Aaron Nesmith in the past few months? Can't find a single mention of him having been interviewed or worked out with any team
ESOMKnicks@ 11/3/2020 9:26 AM
Probably wowed all teams with off-the-charts stellar 3 point shooting, so everyone is keeping mum about him, hoping he'd slip to them.
Knixkik@ 11/3/2020 10:00 AM
A couple things to note about Kira Lewis:
- He's up to 180 lbs, so 6'3 180 with a 6'6 wingspan is very solid - He was in the 89th percentile for spot up shooting - He was 57% from the corners
He's a very, very good fit for what the goals of this coaching staff seem to be He's a PG that can clearly play on or off the ball
