that we're drafting guys to fit a system that won't be here more than 2 years. I mean I know Phil is calling the shots now but in 2 years we're going to be running something completely different. Swing for the fences, not for a double down the left field line
but it looks like we just passed up on two dynamic guards to draft a fucking role player.
Eh, he could have Batum like skils. I think he has enough talent to be a star. People poo poo his 3 point shot because of his FT%, ignoring how few FTs he took. If he 3's, moves the ball right, and defends, that's not far from stardom.
Lets see what he is first.
Smith apparently wouldn't do medicals on his knees.
The idea is to try and get a kid with a high ceiling. I'd rather take a boom or bust player than a fucking role player. These are the types of guys you can usually find in free agency or by making smaller scale trades. Spending the 8th pick on a guy with limited upside sucks.

I hope Batum isn't his ceiling. You're talking about a non-all star who's not much of a different maker out there

Doesn't matter what pro sport it is- when teams take a foreign player or a non- name player, the fans scream about how their club made a massive error because their team did not draft the name player the media spoon fed them.
Of course, most posters/fans couldn't scout a pro prospect to save their lives, but it doesn't stop them from expressing their opinion LOUDLY and OFTEN.

Batum had the skills to be a star, he just didnt have the mental drive I think.
That's my thing on these players. Their mental makeup is so important. It's the difference between Kobe and a host of guys with better measurables. Whose to say Frank has Batum's makeup?

What?
Batum is a great player.
I have no strong feelings about the French kid either way

how do you know what the kid is going to be?
No one does, but if you think his ceiling is higher than Monk, I completely disagree.

The single thing the Knicks have is a guy who is good at recognizing European players in Gaines. If he really likes Frank, I'm on board. Monk and Smith both came with a ton of questions as well.
Monk was the guy or dsj
Scare me. That and the loser label. High risk.
I hate the Knicks.
I'm captaining the band wagon and im fine with that.
I'm captaining the band wagon and im fine with that.
Ok I'm on board.
Why do some question his ceiling? Don't know shit about him
smith has something eith his knees...
wonder how far monk falls
hey it coukd be worse could be having the night the bulls are having
Yup. You gamble on greatness picking #8, and the Knicks just folded and took the nice, safe decent rotation piece.

was the right pick. I'm hyped.

He's not great at attacking the hoop and isn't as explosive as Monk/Smith.
He is also better at pretty much everything else.

So he can shoot, pass, play D, and play PG?
Alrighty then, let's do it. Could be best for KP and his growth.
Top 5 pick next year to get a wing or something

Tatum hurts. Crowder I think they didnt want b/c of Brown. Bradley they didnt want to pay.
I like it a lot if they can extend him.
