Draft Day: The P&T Draft Board

The days of speculation and discussion are now past us. The day of truth has arrived. Now that we've dissected every prospect and had dreams of each lighting up the Garden, marching the Knicks to the post season, and having water fights with Zach Randolph. We've gotten to know RandolphWestbrook,  Alexander, Bayless, Gordon, Gallinari, and Mayo. There are a number more being considered, and a variety of trade options available to Donnie Walsh as well. But, assuming the Knicks stand pat, it's time to get a sense for who Posting and Toasting, if managing the Knicks by committee (a good idea, if you ask me), would take with the Knicks' 6th selection in the 2008 NBA Draft. I was going to leave Mayo off the poll, figuring he wouldn't be available, but I decided otherwise. If plenty of people vote, we can get a good look at our preferences and make a ranked P&T Draft Board. I wish there was a way you could rank your choices 1-10 or something like that, but there isn't. My poll feature just isn't that intelligent. Still, get those votes in early and often (multiple computers! tell your friends!) and hopefully we'll have a halfway decent and halfway truthful breakdown of our picks come draft time. When I get home tonight we'll probably do one last look at the mock drafts, and then get the thread going for an exciting night at MSG. See you then.

My board:
1. Rose
2. Beasley
3. Mayo
4. Westbrook
5. Bayless
6. Love
7. Augustin
8. Rush (I think my optimal situation for this draft would be to trade down, get rid of a bad contract, and still get Rush)
9. Gallinari
10. Alexander

Sorry, guys, I just don’t see it with Rose. He isn’t Paul or Williams. Or even Conley. I think much like teams started reaching for HS guys and then for Int’l guys, point guards are the new in thing. And I think people are going overboard with Beasley’s supposed “off-the-court problems.” He’s a goofball, yo. Melo: he’s got off the court problems (stop snitching, DUI). Beasley: DOES NOT have off the court problems.

...One other note. even though I supported the potential Lee trade on this site, I have to say, when I read that it appears Lee’s agent scuttled the deal. I was happy. Screw it, it may be irrational, but I can’t help wanting to keep Lee in Blue + Orange for the next decade. GO D-LEE!

Beasley

The whole immaturity thing is ridiculous. He’s a 19 year old kid (which freaks the hell out of me since I was one of those 2 years ago). Of course he’s going to be immature, and I’d actually rather have someone who had some fun in high school than a machine.

As for Lee, I heard similar stuff. His agent understandably doesn’t want him in Memphis, and probably told them that after his contract is up he’d leave in a heartbeat.

I'm with Dachs, with one exception

I’d switch Gallinari and Love on his board, but other than that, I’m good with it.

I also really want Rush. I think he’s a pretty ideal 2 in the D’Antoni System.

Just imagine:

PG: Westbrook / One-YearBury / Mardy or the Rookie FA that takes his job
Wings: Richardson / Chandler / Nate / Crawford / Shooter at 27
Frontcourt: DLee / Jeffries / ZBo / Curry

Question about the frontcourt: can’t we just put all four on Staten Island and tell them to swim back to the Garden for their jobs, and let the top 2 start? ( Totally unrelated question: Do you have to buy out players who drown?)
