Knicks · E J Lidell--new Dray Green (page 1)

Hes my top 2 nd rd pick. Would fit Tibs system well with his diverse floor abilities on both ends.

he is 6'4" at best

Briggs whats with you and undersized post heavy players. I appreciate you posting all these videos of prospects but it seems like they are heavy with 6'6" Power Forwards. You must really miss late 80's and early 90's basketball

Seems Briggs misses Malik Rose

I think the nba likes intangible in/ out players who rebound defend and shoot the three. But this is the kind of pick golden state made to get drAy green. He was a very good defensive player. He prob won’t be sitting at 42

As a back up to Randle in the event Obi is trade fodder might make sense.
There is so much we don’t know as to how this FO sees the future. We fans only have that pieces we can see. The domino effect of possibilities are maddening. One might say Reddish if he can put on 10lbs or so of muslcle could hve a clear role as back up, or either obi/Cam can start if Randle is traded. There is a reason why Cam was brought here. Was it as trade fodder? An instant asset then wait for Charlotte pick to materialize? Or as potential role/starter?
Lets be real, we can’t very well draft players without the thought of players departing for many reasons.
Lidell can’t be the new Dray unless he can play in a system that promotes him as point forward. If not, is is the new Bane? Or Randle? Or whom ever.

As it is, This “PG” thing is really over rated. We need good facilitators. Is Steph curry a great PG or just an amazing basketball player? Same for Jordan, Jah, Lebron, etc………….Guys you give the ball to and they know what to do with it and having range matters. With curry having sick range really gave him space that he lacked in quickness. He got stronger and craftier. All to his credit.

Dray Green got on the court for his defense, then his passing, and having some range made his career work. Im not quick to anoint another so fast as his skill set is so unusual. Like saying “the next rodman”.

When you got two shooters like Klay and steph the “Next Dray” is a bit easier.

Off subject the notion of rebuilding with Three HOF in the back end of their career is admirable but Warriors might have to decide a path. I read Steph is questioning the validity of what they are doing and can they make another run as constructed. Wiseman lost a season and Kuminga is raw. Poole has starter talent and will want to be paid. Wiggins had a great start but Klay back took shots away? They have talent but now they have injuries to the elders, and chemistry issues blending it all together.
Lakers in decline and for a while it looked like GS had a nice path in a weaker west. Memhphis is sneaky good and PHX is a class ahead of all.

I see more Grant Williams at the next level than Draymond, but I agree that he'd be a solid pick in the second round. At the risk of sounding like Coach Fizdale, the league is becoming more position less. Skill and bball IQ is just as important as combine score and physical profiles.
