no pick "yet"......... If Leon and Perrin got an itch, Aller will find one. Most of our roster has improved in value except EF who is useful cap fodder. so many ways to go. In fact, if we have a high conviction for a play and a team has a need for a now guard IQ could be very useful. Promote Deuce, and bring over Roka. Just one of the many things to argue/discuss about.
With the new CBA and second tax apron, think Evan's expiring becomes more valuable every day

supposedly has a lotto promise from the raps. I wouldn't be surprised if OKC promised him
I could totally see him getting drafted by Raptors.

Legit 6'6" in shoes with a 6'9" wingspan. Definitely a guy to take a flyer on with a two-way. He shot well in the combine but his shooting numbers in college are all over the place.

Hes got a quick long burst with the ball in his hands. He really looks good-a tad on the skinny side though

We all wish we could be a tad more on the skinny side, except perhaps for the women folk, then the opposite rule applies

As we get fairly close to the draft, I have a Knicks prediction that I feel could very well happen. I can absolutely see the Knicks moving Toppin for a late first round pick, possibly Indiana at 26 or 29 and drafting Jaime Jaquez. Jaquez just seems like a Knicks/ thibs pick. He’s an nba ready combo forward who can shoot, defend, make shots off the dribble, is tough and has a leadership reputation. At 6’7 225 the Knicks don’t really have a wing type like him. He’s a guy on the 1st round fringe who probably doesn’t crack the rotation right away, but can absolutely play and should be a longtime NBA player. He’s also CAA as a bonus. Comes from a major program with final four experience. A lot of the same qualities as grimes. Can’t see how thibs wouldn’t love him. That’s my out of box prediction. Toppin for a pick that lands Jaquez.

He is a isolation scorer primarily. Not what we need. How did he do during the combine ? Can he catch and shoot and pull up from 3 ? Can he guard off a switch ?

My comp for him has been Jared Dudley. I don't think his iso game is good enough to consistently score on the NBA level, but he can take advantage of size and speed mismatches. He's also a good cutter and decent enough passer. He's a smart defender, but he doesn't stay with his man like Grimes does. I think he can be a good system guy. I don't know if he's a first rounder, but I can see him on a roster.

I'd like to see Obi go to Charlotte. Running with Soot and Ball. Evan, Obi for Hayword and the 27th pick.

Ok I don't hate it. But Haywood helps us in the playoffs next season, how ?
