Knicks · Best fundamental Pg with highest upside top of draft. Killian Hayes (page 1)

Love this player. If I can’t get wiseman because we don’t get a top 3 pick this is my guy.
I want Wiseman up top. Hayes at 6/8 and Pritchard 25
My top 3 are wiseman Toppin Hayes. Best case scenario wiseman and trade mitch into draft for Hayes

He looks great - kind of like a better version of D'Angelo Russell that plays defense. Only hesitation I would have is the competition. Hopefully the NBA will be able to figure out how to have combines and pre-draft workouts so we can confirm how good he looks.

My worry with him, is looks kind of slow in the highlights, like he's thinking about every move he's making (apart from the quick passes)

Yeah, that and he's not really an engine. I suspect that he will need time to tighten his handle. Even then, I don't see him being a guy who can consistently put pressure on the paint. I think the DAngelo Russell comparisons are good. I definitely have him in my top 5.

My goal for the team is to have 4 Pgs— 3 of which will play and all have range to beyond 3 points.
I want Pritchard very badly at pick 25– there is a chance. We’ll end up with a younger if we don’t get a top 3 pick.

He looks like a stud. Best PG in the draft? Top 3 pick easy

Hayes, Pritchard would be a good haul with those 2 picks. I'd like to see the Knicks also get a fierce PF in waiting.

I like him. I worry he and RJ are both too left hand reliant to work around each other...... but I would be ok with him being drafted.

Him, Haliburton, even Anthony. I just want the knicks to draft well.

He looks pretty smooth. I’d take him.

It really is going to be tough deciding who is the best pg in this draft. I personally like Ball. I think he is the best creator in the draft with the most upside. Hayes looks solid but I worry about his defense and whether he is creative enough on offense, though his jumpshot looks solid, which is what we need. Cole Anthony looks to be what we hoped Dennis Smith would be. The thing with Anthony is that I worry about his shot selection and whether he can be a high end pg or whether he is just a scoring guard in a pg’s body. Anthony however will give us a scorer and he should develop into a decent defender. Halliburton looks to be what we hope Frank will become. Solid shooter, solid defender, and solid passer but no flash or Uber-creativity. I worry he cannot be the dynamic scorer that we would want at the position. Our scouting department is going to earn their paychecks with this one. Unless we get the top pick and take Wiseman or Toppin, we have to come out of this draft with the best pg.
