We have pick #50 and the Knicks will probably trade it or something. Here are some names in our range. Also, I don't have it in me to watch the finals and this is a decent distraction.
RJ Luis is a sturdy and athletic wing with 3&D potential. Not really a shooter yet, but not a lost cause. I can see him making them with some consistency from the corner in time.
Eric Dixon. Big boy from Villanova. Reminds me of 40 cents on the dollar Julius. Plus, he brings Nova vibes.
Mohamed Diawara is a guy I don't know much about, but you have to love his measurables. Kinda of reminds me of Precious.

Don't we have Detroit 1st round pick this year? Or did we trade it as well?

Mouhamed Faye. Raw athletic big with decent vision. I like his motor.

Looks pretty good, and his soundtrack slaps.

Take no.50 and some cash and buy an earlier 2nd rounder to get Johnni Broome

You like him over Dixon? I like his skill, vision and touch, but I think Panos could put run and jump him.
BigDaddyG@ 6/5/2025 12:05 AM
Kobe Sander. Another skilled, tall wing with solid passing skills and burgeoning shooting touch. Some sites have him in our range, but I think he has a decent chance to move up.

I think skilled bigs tend to be undervalued. He has a high floor for a 2nd rounder. I see him as a an NBA rotation big.

I agree with Broome. For what it’s worth, he’s a CAA client too.
I’m also a fan of Tyrese Proctor from Duke, who I think is undervalued in this process. He’s a great shooter who can provide some secondary playmaking as a backup PG/ SG.

We need a shooter

As far as the second round, it’s Proctor or Brea

I'll had Tyrese, tho I don't think he drops quite that far down.
Uptown@ 6/5/2025 5:44 PM
Saw Peavy over a dozen times this season.....he is a high IQ, wing that can play point forward. Good defensively, plays the passing lanes and will get a ton of defelctions and steals. Has a pro game in that he gets to his spots and can hit the mid range jumper....With that said, he is not a consistant perimeter shooter but if he ia there at 50, you snatch him up.

Any Yve Missi's lying around at #50?

Not really. But big boy from Kentucky might be there.

I like the French guy any first round talent that’s going to drop big because of injury concerns?

Our draft this year, is fun. I trust the FO. Only time they messed up badly was that fat guy they drafted with the braids, I think he had braids. Whatever happened to that guy ? Just want to see Kolek, Mcullers,Huk, and Dadiet do in summer league.

Michael Sweetny? that was the era of fat guys in NBA. It was a different era. It ended. He was. highly skilled center from Georgetown who we drafted 9th 22. years ago.
Eddy Curry had braids I believe. Perhaps when we recoil over "Five picks" for Mikal but consider that two will go out this year and we just made ECF's, and the other three jury out as to their value. Then consider Isiah trading what became Joakim Noah and Lamarcus Aldridge. Noah as a young player was awesome in that era. We traded Two pics that became Allstars For eddy curry who bulls had offered to retire due to his heart issue later determined to be his diet supplements as root cause.
Media keeps reminding us "five picks" for Mikal but we had a good year and that counts for something. Those picks this year are Detroit pick at 17th, and ours at 26th. While not efficient Mikal did contribute to our win total and playoff success this year.
