?? He’s listed as 6’3” 175 lbs is that wrong, how is he big?

ESPN lists as 6’ 5”

6’3.5” barefoot 189 lbs combine testing

Ah the barefoot versus sneaker measurement. Still nice risk reward IMO

Ok so he’s still 6’4ish. Which isn’t small. SG size.

I don't watch College, so maybe someone can enlighten me how Veesaar is still on the board?

He’s probably telling teams he won’t accept a second round minimum contract or 2-way contract. Would probably rather go undrafted so he’s tanking basically.

Dadiet's replacement?

Nickel Dimes Winning Assist!

I was going for the low hanging "Knickel", but I like it!!!

Nickel's Five Finger Discount Gives Knicks Game Clinching Steal!

Tyler Nickel is a solid pickup. Cant have enough shooting. And he’s a bigger wing too. Could see him sticking.

I’m blown away, maybe he’s a new Kyle olynic where his defense is such a liability he won’t play kinda in shock .. maybe he didn’t interview well.

Bodes well for Mitch

That's what this draft is telling us

Mitch will be back

Landry is the question mark now


Our recent pick seemed like a Landry replacement (if we can’t get him in)

Agents are directing him to a specific team, allegedly.

A 6’6 shooter never a bad thing. Has a bit of a mid range game as well.
Watched him a bit in college and thought he had a game suited for the NBA.

Yeah but the Tennesseevirginia guy is there too. Something is up. And shows pre draft analysts are like Mel kiper. Talk a good game but don’t know game

I'd think someone late in the draft would call the bluff just after weighing the risk/reward vs.the remaining picks of that's the case (and maybe someone does!)

We still got the 53rd pick
newyorknewyork @ 6/24/2026 9:54 PM
Looks like we can go either Veesaar or Onyenso here at 53
BlueKnickers @ 6/24/2026 9:54 PM
Welp

No Henry for us

He looked good

Was kinda hoping just based on what I read that we'd take him, but Clips finally took him off the board. Oh well, we had several chances...
