Around SBN: This Should Encourage Juan Mata

Monday Workouts: Fields and Reynolds and Richards, oh my!

I know, I know. Sorry about the headline. I'm insufferable. Moving forward, the Knicks have some more second round prospects visiting on Monday. Via TKB, here they are:

Landry Fields- 6'7" F, Stanford (21 years old)

Darington Hobson- 6'7" F, New Mexico (22)

Armon Johnson- 6'3" PG, Nevada (21)

Nkem Ojougboh- 6'9'' C, Northeastern (22)

Scottie Reynolds- 6'2" PG, Villanova (22)

Ryan Richards- 6'10" F/C, England (19)

Of those listed, Richards is perhaps the most intriguing, Johnson is the most likely to slip into the first round, and Fields is the most likely to have a name that sounds like a brand of organic tater tots.

If you take the first letters of their first names it comes out to SLANDR. For the sake of acronyms, WHY WOULDN’T THEY WORK OUT ELLIOT WILLIAMS?!

jeez

You’re right. In fact, if they subbed Elliot Williams in for Scottie Reynolds, you could spell “Randle”, which would suggest they wanted to draft Jerome Randle, even though they’re not working him out.

Do you guys think that Richards will stay in this draft?

I haven’t seen his name in any mock drafts. I figured he would pop up in the second round somewhere

He just doesn't seem to be on the mocker's radar just yet

bit of an unknown I guess.

Depends on what the people who matter tell him…I doubt he’s gonna withdraw his name cuz NBA mock express doesn’t know who he is.

sounds like he is way behind the top 50 or so prosepcts

so despite the physical tools, he don’t know how to play

I would disagree with that statement.

I write about basketball players with Ridiculous Upside. I know you'll love it.

by Scott Schroeder on Jun 13, 2010 2:30 AM EDT up reply actions  

i will now disagree with my statement as well

because, yo, i only heard about this dude very very minimally. and it sounded like he was a pretty huge project.

Forgot about Scottie Reynolds.

He’s kind of a bonehead, but he can score and has large balls.

i've seen a few drafts

that have the knicks taking hobson from NM. I don’t get that though, what does he offer that the knicks don’t already have? That logjam at forward was frustrating last year.

agreed

they need to go big and/or small with this draft, nowhere in between.

We gotta get some depth at both ends of the lineup

by Wilson Chandler's Voicebox on Jun 12, 2010 11:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

maybe they're planning on trading Chan or not keeping the others?

even so, I’d rather they not use the forward logjam as a reason not to draft a player.

All about getting the best player there, and if dude’s a 6"7 SF, who cares? He seems like more of a dude who puts the ball on the floor, more like a Brandon Roy type (not as good of course) cuz of his average athleticism.

It would be nice to get a tall dude, but you gotta roll with what’s there.

Armon Johnson is a point guard out of Nevada expected to be drafted late first/early second round.

Unless he’s pulling for Amir in the offseason. Which is fine.

by Michael Levin on Jun 13, 2010 4:04 AM EDT up reply actions  

Amir Johnson would be OK as a bench player

even then, I dunno what the hell he brings.

If we’re going with skinny tall dude’s, Hakim Warrick. Or if we want a dude who could possibly be a hibernator among sleepers, Travis Outlaw.

I bet

that for smokescreen purposes, there’s only one of these guys that the Knicks might be interested in. The other guys, the Knicks are just trying to throw teams off and hype guys so other teams take them instead of the guys the Knicks really want. Who knows?

by fuhry on Jun 14, 2010 10:57 AM EDT reply actions  

The reality is some guys are all over the draft board

depending ion whose site your on, guys like Stephenson, Randle, etc. You gotta look at different fellas and you gotta see em compete against, which is also why you need other live bodies. Knicks could move up and if a guy they really like is still on the board and not movin’ they could theoretically move down to pick up an extra pick to throw down on a questionable but intriguing player (like a Pittman)…I don’t think they’re smoke screening, although the questionable ones to me are the SF’s, unless they’re looking at say a Hobson as swing man. AJ being on this list could verify they’d consider dropping greenies to move up to get ‘em if he’s really worth it. It’s all freakin’ crystal ball right now. Who knows what anyone’s gonna do. Let’s just get July 1st the F over.
