New York Knick’s Pacome Dadiet Is The Steal of the NBA Draft

[@moorehoops3490]

Was Pacome Dadiet a good pick for the Knicks?

[@kareemabdel-jabbar]

Yea he already look more confident than Kevin Knox already

[@nellynel4583]

He kind of reminds me of Kelly Oubre Jr

[@Danny43ent]

He's only 18 w pro experience and in a no pressure situation great pick to me

[@ClifBryant]

No not at all!! He is a bundle of If's and maybe's!! It was a bad pick all around if he can't guard in a German league he will never do it in the NBA. If this was a guy who had elite defensive skills and not possible offensive what ifs then maybe yea!

[@3xtrey421]

He Reminds me of Brandon Ingram . He needs to work with Melo to learn how to score easier . He can definitely be the #1 option in 5 years

[@cbivvy]

This is definitely a “taking a flyer” which is something teams normally don’t do with a 1RP. But, the Knicks mentality has to be that he’s 18, he’s a raw talent, they dont have as many 1st round picks for awhile, so this could be a good long term investment to make up for said draft picks going to Brooklyn. This pick is anywhere between a B and A- depending on how he develops. But that mid-range shot is very nice.

[@Dee-gf7yp]

This whole draft a lot of first round picks and second rounders were teams taking a flyer cause this was a really weak draft

[@randymoss789]

They still have like 6 first round picks for the next 7 years

[@nycitylifeandhistory]

@@randymoss789 correct

[@nycitylifeandhistory]

he averaged 6 per game In no world an A- pick

[@deezosaintloyal]

Whenever I see shooting guards 6’7”-6’9”, it gets me excited. Tall players who can get buckets will always have a place in the league. Whether its spot up shooting like Novak, or a bit of shot creation like Michael Beasley. Tall bucket getters are essential for the 9th-12th rotation spot

Accept when we drafted Kevin Knox 😔

That’s what I was thinking .. 18 yrs old at 6’9” and raw thibs could mold him into a Durant shooter w/ OG defense 🤩

[@swayze174]

Lol i aint never lie ​@@jakegoldberg6700

[@chriskatona1705]

I loved this pick. He's already 6'9 in shoes. He'll most likely grow another inch. He's also a solid shooter, can create his own shot, his handle looks fluid. With thibs helping him defensively, he could be a 6'10 2 way wing. That's exciting!!

[@chrisdadda]

Love your analysis. The new Knick Front Office has 7:12 done well with late round draft picks. All of the videos on Pacome looks promising, in addition is english is excellent so blending in won’t be a problem.

[@IWILLNEVERDIE885]

Would be crazy to see him become a real contributor in a few years

[@smartyjonez5470]

He will never play meaningful minutes

[@eugenioreyes8814]

I saw this kid in person, he's gonna be a star pretty sure, soon 😅

[@SaulTeeBalls]

What makes you think that? WTF did you see? 😂

[@nycitylifeandhistory]

Pretty sure a stiff

[@kg_vizualz4082]

He saw his boner

[@cooldude7821]

Reminds me of Brandon Ingram.

[@JCneverFails]

If his shot (which looks awesome) translates and he plays some defense, I can definitely see him getting minutes, especially at his size. A spot-up 3 point shooter with the ability to attack closeouts while playing with effort defensively.

[@moorehoops3490]

Agreed

[@BrooklynBalla]

I love the savvy and instincts he shows on offense.He has a very high ceiling as a scorer if he pans out.

[@wilmaso]

Let's see how these young guns perform in summer league

[@conorwatchvidz]

He might even grow more. I think he’s got potential to be great and he already has a high floor IMO

[@SquirtleTrainer95]

Looks like he can become a Sean Livingston type player that can pull up on smaller guards.

[@agapechannel]

Excellent video!!! Great job my brother!!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@moorehoops3490]

Thanks alot man 🙏🏽

[@deandrebrown4521]

No rookie was cracking thibs rotation, especially a wing on this roster. Might as well go for potential

[@Sam-ie1hi]

A development piece to stash away for a year or 2. His defense would get him playing time not his shooting like this guy is saying. With Thibs..no D no minutes

[@seanfrank32]

Not with this roster. But Thibs gave IQ and Grimes plenty of time as rookies.

[@SaulTeeBalls]

He is VERY SIMILAR TO the guy MICHAEL PORTER JR in Denver. That’s his ceiling.

[@BrooklynBalla]

Only difference is Pacome is aware he has teammates to pass to.

[@sinceremarks8529]

Looking forward to seeing him play.

[@patrickmcgov5311]

Great point you brought up about the number of salaries the Knicks will be paying. Invest in some potential while allowing JD's interest to accrue. Brilliant

[@ronysaint-fleur807]

I like the Dadiet report ! Good job!

[@moorehoops3490]

Thanks alot

[@user8-artI-9167-ama]

This videos is too early to say it’s a steal. The kid has not even crack Thibs rotation yet or play any NBA minutes. Need to play first and show consistency BEING in rotation to make impact. If he is consistently playing then the creator can say he’s the steal of draft. The kid hasnt even played a single second in NBA. What if he sits out entire season? He’s steal of draft?😂

[@wwddwi2183]

At 18 he could still be growing. If he has heart, he’ll be aight. I don’t need a repeat of Frank N, ever again. Solid pick, he will have time to grow and develop. Then it’s all on his will and desire👈🏿🫡

[@buFFlosouljah1]

Pacome out here traveling on every play 🫡🤭

[@cliffd8380]

So he has the makings of a current NBA superstar. Because they love traveling. Apparently so the refs since they no longer call it in games anymore. Lebron, Tatum, KD, Harden, Brunson, Embiid, etc.

[@GB-333]

So he is made for the NBA

Take a swing in the first, get a player in the second. Nice pic. He looks good. Nice vid. Subscribed. Go Knicks!

[@TheTEN24]

This dudes game actually isn’t bad at all, I know it’s just highlights but now I’m starting to love the pick totally worth a flier on

[@BS10258]

I think Dadiet will get limited playing time in his rookie year similar to Quickley and Toppin did their rookie years. With the injuries suffered by NY last season it will be important that NY learns the importance of player development. It is also worth mentioning that although they are a young team the Knicks window will be very small and this team will be entirely different within 2 seasons. By ages 21-22 i expect Dadiet to be a 2nd or 3rd option on this team. IMHO within 4 years people will look back and say Dadiet should've been a lottery pick

[@Joestar4109]

This was a great video respect

[@moorehoops3490]

Thanks alot homie 🙏🏽

[@Michael_Page]

I feel like he's going to be what they thought Kevin Knox would be.

[@donalddemo]

He's a very raw 3 and we good there so maybe in 3-4 years we'll see him - unless multiple (3) injuries to rotation guys - same with Kolec. Will be interesting when Deuce, Dante and Josh are up for new deals.

[@PickNY]

Awesome breakdown thank you 👊🏽

[@moorehoops3490]

No problem thanks for tuning in 🙏🏽

[@RWOner666]

If he’s going to be a bench player for the next 2 years, he can learn a lot from the current squad.

We drafted Kevin Knox again. Plain and simple

Kevin Knox? God forbid 😂

[@mikeosco5254]

i’m a huge fan of the tall wings and especially ones that can make a three lol i love this pick up

[@BlazedxRican]

I would like to see him develop his physicality a bit more, but that will come with age hopefully

[@santimig127]

Hopefully, they do the smart thing stays in the G league gets his minutes maybe end of season if if we have a nice lead in the standings, he could get some minutes

Great analysis! He looks like O.G. without the defense. But like you said he's still very young.

[@moorehoops3490]

Thanks alot man

[@glawtonmoore]

[@tedchen8276]

He really hasn't done much in SL games. He has to sit and develop in his rookie season.

[@stephano5759]

I’d trade him for Nurkic

[@gilfordmccormack8140]

He's talented but he's going to be on the Duece plan. He's not going to get a lick playing until at least 2-3 Seasons from now. He's strictly G League for the next 2-3 Seasons.

[@moorehoops3490]

You’re probably right we’ll see

[@BrooklynBalla]

The only reason Deuce took so long is because his shooting took a while to develop.If Pacome can hit shots and not be a liability on D Thibs will reward him.

[@gilfordmccormack8140]

@@BrooklynBalla Duece could shoot Thibs just didn't want to play him yet. He was playing Garbage minutes and he couldn't catch a rhythm.

[@joshazenbergpercussion]

This was a "weaker" draft so I trust the scouts to find value in picks. I also don't think he needs to become anything more than a solid role player. And then anything after that is gravy. We'll see how he plays in the summer league.

As a New York Knicks fan, I'm hoping for the best. I would have went with Terrence Shannon Jr. from Illinois though. Patience is not on Pacome Dadiet's side as the New York Knicks are in win now mode. French players in the NBA take a while to develop. Mind you, New York is a place that is not patient. It's a fast place for a reason.
