We need a PG badly Peyton is not it and hopefully is gone after this year , I love what Rose brings he is older though .I would love Lonzo but if not how about Ayo Dosunmu out of Illinois will he still be on the board by the time we pick ?
From the article : At last, our guys in Orange and Blue.
The NY Knicks have desperately needed a starting point guard for many years. Though there are no guarantees of finding one at this stage of the first round, Dosunmu is a half-decent bet.
Ayo flashes all the potential skills to be a long-time team-leading floor general in the pros. Throughout his three years at Illinois, Dosunmu showed an ability to control the offensive pace, take care of the basketball, and make heady decisions every time down the floor. He’s more than a mere game manager though; he’s crafty when looking to drive and can knock down 3s. He is also an able perimeter defender.
This is crazy!!!! I just saw this on the espn website and came here to post! This is incredibly sad!!! My heart goes out to his family.
RIP. This is a tragedy
OMG! Im so sorry way way way way to young
Absolute tragedy. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

Horrible what happened to Clarke! Feel so bad for his loved ones. He was simply way too young and he had a bright future ahead of him. I'm glad Boston was okay but I cant imagine the pain he must be in.

Awful!!!! Hate that he was not wearing his seatbelt properly and driving recklessly. These super 75-80k Cross overs are not sports cars and while these kids are great athletes they might not be good drivers. Awful for any parent to lose a 19 year old kid.

Wasserman's simulation is on point. I'm really not a fan of Boston but I'd be pretty upset if we wasted the Dallas pick on him instead of using a 2nd rounder.

Rafael Barlowe from Draft Junkies has a new podcast on the Locked On Network. He recorded some really good videos on YouTube and gives good insights. Worth checking out. He was recently featured on Chad Ford's podcast. https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM...

If we had to take on a "project", this is the guy. At worst you get a bigger and better version of Satoransky who was one of my favorite guards on the Wizards despite him never getting a consistent jumper. At best, you get a unique version of Simmons with less athleticism but much better shooting.

I have concerns about his ability to play NBA defense, but the kid is definitely a beast. I'd be all over him if he extends his range to three, which isn't out of the question if you ask some scouts.

I saw him hit a nice step back in one game highlight vid. Looked very clean and I believe he’s a decent FT shooter aswell. I know post up game is uncommon but I feel like there’s more to him.

A 6-9 ish pg is a daily mismatch. So some of the explosion he doesn’t have is nullified by the incredible length he dors have. He’s gonna be to high up in the draft for us
