The top player on your list is Baylors Jalen Bridges. His jumper is already fluid and elite. His defense is as solid and sound as it gets. He has good athleticism and length. He’s being overlooked only because he doesn’t jump out the gym. His basketball IQ is what will get him on the court, and I’m hoping it’s with my NYK’s if he actually drops to pick 38. I’d actually use 1 of the 2 #1’s we have.

Ehhh idk abt using ya firsts on him ya have to draft an extra big just in case Hartenstein leaves & imo ya need to draft a Quickley replacement off the bench to play point guard like Tyler Kolek or Ajay Mitchell cuz McBride imo is more of a defensive 2

[@rgwebb5165]

Knicks better take him in the first round then. He wont get to 38 with the Pacers at 36.

[@imaletitslide8306]

I’d have him 3rd on his list

[@DeeJay_VII]

@@rgwebb5165 idk abt that tbh they have Jarace Walker that they literally drafted last year & I’d assume he’s goin to be the small forward in they rotation off the bench.

Richard... in an uncertain draft, taking some deep dives and considering what prospects can become and not necessarily where they are now... Why aren't more scouts interested in Mohamed Diawara. He's young and has some good athleticism... lets say you? I like your sleepers btw, although not too surprised as much as I watch this channel...

I remember that Immanuel Quickly was projected to go somewhere in round 2, and my NYK’s took him 25. I freak’n flipped because I felt we over valued him and drafted him way too high. Boy was I wrong! Everything that you stated about Jalen Bridges, supposed draft experts applied the same analysis to IQ. That’s why I’d hope my NYK’s see similarities when looking for that player who fits this squad perfectly. Bridges fits this squad…

Tyler Kolek/Ajay Mitchell DaRon Holmes II Jalen Bridges Would be a home run draft for the Knicks

[@bronxroots6668]

@@DeeJay_VII bruh…we are in need of wings, so I’m staying away from undersized PG’s. I’m not looking to draft a player under 6’5, without a solid offensive skill set. Before I draft Kolek, I’m going to make a solid commitment to bring Rokas Jokobaitis to the states to be the backup. As for DaRon Holmes, we already tried drafting a PF who plays sketchy defense. His name was Obi Toppin, who just happens to have gone to the same damn school. Mitchell is a meh 😑 pick to me, because I’m not trying to replace IQ. Jaylon Tyson, Jalen Bridges, Isaiah Crawford, Johnathan Mogbo, Tristan DaSilva are the Wings that need to be on my NYK’s wish list.
