This year Im going Trayce Jackson as best available player after 10. Hes the only big man who makes plays with the dribble and an array of offensive skills with a diverse premium rim protection ability /defensive skill package. I heard the comment we dont need the position but I always want the BPA
Forgive me, but what does Jalen Williams have to do with 2023?
I said last year?
You did.
What does last year have to do with this year, is my question?
I thought jalen williams was the bpa after 10 last year and I think TDJ is the bpa past 10 this year. My favorite color is blue. I like Grilled Tuna. I still watch Seinfeld before i go to sleep--anything else?

Ah, you were establishing credibility by citing your success last year.
I understand now.

They have a franchise player and some really good supporting players. It’s falling into place for them.

I have no clue who this is

If he's BPA, then so be it. I'm hoping either Walker, Black or Hendricks fall if we nab 11. This might be the one year where I wouldn't mind if the Knicks punted to a future first rounder. Of course, the guy who does get picked 11 goes on to become a multi-year All Star.

I know nothing about him but that tape was impressive, definitely intrigued to do more research

This was a midseason report of him. Very good PNR guard who can defend pretty well. Not the best athlete, and could continue to improve his handle and lob accuracy. Ehh.

For improvement areas, yes. In terms of who they are as players? Hood seems way more skilled just not as beefy

I like him overall and think the Knicks will be in on him seeing how he plays for Woodson and is CAA. I’m just not sure about the fit with the Knicks. He’s a big guard who will need the ball in his hands. I try to picture how he fits in a second unit with Quickley, Hart and Hartenstein. I guess it could be okay, but would prefer the Knicks focus on a bigger wing/ forward and/ or shooting wing. Drafting him would also effectively eliminate any real possibility of Jokubaitis playing here since he’s another lead guard. But if he’s considered the best player available so be it.

Have to wonder if this pick does land in the 11-14 range that the Knicks will just deal to the highest bidder for a hart-level player to replace Toppin. If they had this pick in the late teens to 20s they could just draft a player like Quickley or Grimes to develop with no expectation of a rotation spot. But once you get into the lottery it’s a different value and expectation. Knicks can trade the pick for a good player regardless of position. Thibs clearly has no confidence in Toppin and is fine playing Barrett/ Hart at PF. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Definitely possible at this point. Tonight’s game should leave little doubt as to the depth of this squad and the elite nature of Jalen Brunson’s offense. I could see some offseason action to tighten up the 9-10 man rotation. I think Randle might benefit from a couple games to recover and watch the play on the court without him. The ball movement is more pronounced.
I can’t think of a player that just comes in like jHart at the 4 though. I mean, you basically are just looking for a younger Taj. A guy like Larry Nance kind of fits that mold but I don’t think he costs a lotto pick.
I might be looking at a trade of Barrett, Fournier and picks for Ingram and Nance. No real rush to make a move though.

I don’t necessarily think the Knicks target the PF version of Hart if that’s what you’re saying. I think about Jarred Vanderbilt as that type and the Knicks missed the boat there. But what I do think may happen is the Knicks trade the pick for a player regardless of position who can fit with the rest of the bench. Just a quick example, Knicks could send the pick for Alex Caruso and they would have a second unit of Quickley, Caruso, Hart, Barrett and Hartenstein. No need for a backup 4 with Barrett and hart in there. Knicks have been a top offense this year and really only an average defensive team. Caruso improves the team defense significantly without disrupting the offense. Now a late lottery pick might be a bit pricey for Caruso who is a good player but doesn’t offer much upside, but he is an example of a player who would improve the team a little bit and fit the system.
