Knicks · Payton Pritchard (page 1)

I’m not sure what will happen at the top of the draft— but I think this player with RJ and Frank makes a lot of sense long term. We need a smart tough scoring pg with 3 point range and I’m in love with this guy— not physically😺 I love his game for the Knicks! I think we’ll have pick 24-25— willing to use one of my Dallas picks to move up to ensure we get him. Also love James Bouknight from UConn as a future 2 G but we’re talking Payton Pritchard new pg for the Knicks

Welcome back.

Reports of your demise were greatly exaggerated. Right on time...

Spike out, BRIGGS in. Fair trade

I’m liking Kira Lewis with our second pick if we decide not to get a pg with our first

smack— I’d easily take two scoring Pgs this year— in some ways we have no pgs.
We need a lot! Attitude and skill changes needed!

If we miss out on a pg with our 1st pick ( or luck into Anthony Edwards) Lewis is definitely the player I would target with the Clips pick. May need to trade up, though.

Welcome back Briggs. Looking forward to your draft insight again. Ignore the election, lol.

Same here. I think him and Frank coming off the bench next year would make a pretty good tandem where he dosen't really have to create as much and can focus on attacking(despite him being a pretty solid passer himself).

Nothing against any other player in the draft — the best pg is Pritchard— imho. He’s physically put together at 6-2 200. He has true 3 pt nba range he’s got the intangibles. The winning mojo with the accompanying intensity. I’d be more than happy to draft/ acquire 2 scoring PG but to me Pritchard would be a knick. I don’t like the lottery pgs accept Halliburton but I would not take him 3-5
I like Pritchard for this t
eam— we need a winner.

Wow. I thought BRIGGS had that Pete Rose-type ban. Welcome back.

And, please no politics BRIGGS.

I hoping the Knicks use their picks to move up for Ball if needed, but if we get to draft Ball without moving up, then a scoring PG or Defensive SF, is a good idea for the second round.

Briggs back on UK posting about future prospects. With the right to business return post!

7 picks over the next few yrs...

Hes back. Looking forward to your draft and college player analysis.

Pritchard looks like a nice late round sleeper pick.

Fred van fleet isn’t 6-7 nor does he have a 40 inch vertical but he is a winning player who has a combination of nba skills that are important That’s what I see with Payton Like I said I’d be thrilled with two pgs. Get rid of smith. Mo

How does he compare to Haliburton, in your opinion. Hard to project Haliburton further due to injury, but a lot of the words you use could be used to describe Haliburton, but Haliburton has better size.

Man, the Clips have been on a run lately while teams next to them have sucked, wreaking havoc with our second pick standings

Ewingglass. I have no problem under certain scenarios of drafting two scoring Pgs— If we end up like 6-9 in the draft and the big men are gonzo. Halliburton at 8 and Payton at 25 would be fine.
If I really had my say— I’d rather get wiseman up in the top draft. I still think he’s a david Robinson clone despite us having robinson

Look at intangibles
Speed with ball and ball skills w dribble
Strength to basket
Three point range
Ability to palm ball off hand in game — that isn’t ez
Court vision
Winning plays in clutch

Your good dude

Ironically an ESPN analyst did a scouting report on him this morning, and they have him as a big time sleeper, he could go late teens..

I like his game a lot
