Knicks · Another option at pick 11. Best pg in draft. Not ty Washington! (page 1)
BRIGGS@ 4/30/2022 2:47 AM
Kennedy chandler pg. not really talked about but he looks like a young wake forest chris paul. We do need a pg
franco12@ 4/30/2022 9:42 AM
can he pass? I think he is a stretch at 11 - I saw one board had him in the mid 20s- would love to get a 2nd pick in the first round for a player like this.
You have me sold on Tari Eason - that same board had him available at 11.
17 days.
I'm hoping this is our year to be like San Antonio with David Robinson getting hurt, them landing the first pick and the start of a dynasty.
In my dreams, we land a player like Ivey that gives us a dynamic attacking guard that breaks down the defense and creates space and good shots for all of our other players. We're not that bad but we're also not that good.
Philc1@ 4/30/2022 9:46 AM
Why draft a talented young pg when we can draft another mediocre wing player who will shoot 30% from the field?
TPercy@ 5/1/2022 3:45 PM
He’s the really short one no?
HoustonSprewell84@ 5/1/2022 6:51 PM
With his lack of athleticism, 11 is too high for him.
EwingsGlass@ 5/1/2022 6:57 PM
I have Dyson Daniels a pretty big step ahead of him.

I do as a prospect. But Kennedy Chandler is clearly the better PG. The size issues does kill his stock, tho.

Looks like a scoring guard first but that’s what highlights show you. I searched some more and saw some of his playmaking skills. At 6ft he’s able to score inside similar to Chris Paul at wake forest. But CP was a floor general then and now. Kennedy looks more like a volume scorer than playmaker but he has a very high ceiling from what I gathered in my search.
I’m a huge deuce fan and wish deuce had the same offensive confidence and moves that Kennedy already has. If we are looking for a PG we could either trade the 11th pick for 2 picks if Kennedy is still on the board at one of those picks. Similar to last year when we traded back and still grabbed grimes. I can see the FO doing the same thing if that opportunity is there.

The one thing about Chandler that reminds me of Paul is the midrange jumper. His pull up jumper is something that separates him from someone like Shariffe Cooper. He can throw the lob, find cutters in the lane and kickout effectively. I'm not sure he can make the same high level reads that Paul can (probably not), but it looks like his playmaking is good enough. He's also a tough defender despite his size. Finishing at the rim looks like it could be an issue tho, and that could be exacerbated if he's on team that plays at the pace the Knicks played last year.

Donovan is much stockier and has longer wingspan. Chandler has 6'5" wingspan and Mitchell has a 6'20" wingspan. Also, Mitchell is a more explosive athlete.

6'10 wingspan. and an 8'1" standing reach. Its ridiculous.

Mitchell's got noise with coaches and other players. Its a bit concerning. We Villonize/blame Rudy without any knowledge? Rudy has a big contract. painfully large. Whats the beef? Utah's defense was awful and Rudy is given not help. Lets just say if we can get him cheap and Thibs can work him I'd be on board. Does it matter if Im on board? LOL ,

Finishing at the rim with Mitch and Randle in the paint or RJ looking to attack the paint. He’s a solid player on the right team that has pace and space.

Ok, so we have two bonafide HOFers, a borderline HOFer, two All Stars and a guy who clearly doesn't belong on that list.

This article implies that Kennedy has a wingspan of 6'7 and not 6'5. I think the difference between height and wingspan is actually more important that just overall wingspan. I think that longer arms are more deceiving in terms of ability to clog lanes and get hands on the ball. Both the 6'5 and the 6'7 (either is very good) make me more excited about him. Though at that height I still would expect a bit more athleticism to truly excel.

I’m just saying all those guys had careers in the nba with a shorter wingspan than chandler
