Re: 2015 Draft
[QUOTE=Da KO King]To me there is no tough call between D'Angelo Russell and Emmanuel Mudiay. Russell is on of the most complete SG prospect to come along in a long time. Much rather have him than Mudiay who is a Russell Westbrook knock-off to me.
Right now I'm guessing the Knicks "big board" Top 5 looks like this:
Jahlil Okafor
D'Angelo Russell
Myles Turner
Karl Towns
Emmanuel Mudiay[/QUOTE]
It's what mine would look like. I can't wait for this ish to go down... can't get into other team's success too much this year.

Re: 2015 Draft
If we don't get Okafor or Mudiay, I'd trade down. I like Russell but he's too left hand dominant and I worry about his handle. I wouldn't MIND us taking him but I'd rather us trade down and get a proven NBA PG from another team willing to move up and remain in the draft albeit lower. To be honest, I'm not even 100% sold on Okafor and Mudiay anymore. Knicks can't afford to draft a bust so whatever we do, it better be good. :(

Mudiay plays just as one handed as Russell.
I think my dislike of Phil Jackson and Derek Fisher is well documented by now. I honestly feel hopeless about this franchise because I don't see a direction under those two.

I second all of this. No one in this draft class looks stellar.

Re: 2015 Draft
Drop down for multiple pieces is always a great idea in theory. What kind of pg are you envisioning and how far down the draft?
#3 for #14 and mcw or wroten?
IMO this draft has about 6-8 guys and then a pretty good drop off right?
Muidiay, Russell
Mario, Stanley Johnson
Okafor, wcs, towns, turner
Can't trade down below there right?
I hope the Knicks end up w Russell or wcs

Re: 2015 Draft
Hypothetically the Knicks win pick #2 and the t wolves get slotted in at #5 would you trade
2 (okafor) and thj
For
5 (wcs) and z Lavine
Or is that the Knicks giving too much or too little?
