Who should the Knicks draft?

he has no role on the team just yet, unless we’re drafting Jimmer to be Landry Fields new wingman.

I’d say we should draft the best player available. Whether is a potential starting C, backup PG, SG, wing, stretch 4,…I don’t really care. This team needs depth.

Tho if a few players are ranked the same, I’d choose size. We don’t has it.

One of the Morris twins would be nice. They both sort of look like Wilson Chandler, tho Marcus is the one that plays more like him. More Queef kind of reminds me of a Drew Gooden, which isn’t really a bad thing

Make a deal with a team by drafting a player anothe rteam wants. Then trade the pick to that team for a next year draft pick.

We need to fire the WHOLE coaching staff a nd then go after hard M.Gasol RFA-S.Battier FA and with a little brain power get O.J.Mayo in a smart trade.

We will win 55-60 games next year with these alterations in the team.

“GO NEW YORK GO”

or don’t have, D’Antoni is only going to play 8 players, maybe 9 at most. With the team all of the sudden in win-now mode, I don’t think rookies are really going to be very effectual in the next 4 years. If you find a big that can contribute right way, then yea go for it, but otherwise I would target effective role players who are established in the league. Especially those that can be had at good value

He was my back up center in NBA Live 10.. and he backed up Dikembe my 42 Year old starting center. FUN with capital letter

I think a lot of on-the-fence underclassmen will stay in school, more so than usual. Despite it being a weak draft, there’s quite a lot of mediocre prospects out there and this + labor uncertainty makes declaring quite unattractive for a guy who might slip into the second round.

We’ll probably lose one or both of Bully and Extra E, and you can never have enough versatile bench wings who can hit open shots, so my homer pick is Gilbert Brown, who can maybe be had in the second round. Great, versatile defender, excellent natural instincts, smart offensive player who would happily defer to better players around him. D’Antoni’s shooting school has an almost 100% success rate so his sometimes sloppy mechanics could be ironed out. If we get a second rounder we could do much worse.

Our 3 scored 85 the 1st or second game together! Where is Jimmer projected to fall to the Knicks? If we do get him does that mean TD is trade bait because Jimmer is a great jersey but will he ever play?

I haven’t seen any mocks that have Jimmer available when we pick. I’m pretty sure he’s going in the lottery. Donnie will probably pick someone we never heard of, and he’ll turn out to be right as always.

I understand that we cannot trade two years in a row our pick.
To get around it.
We need to make a player pick with in agreement with another team on what they want at that time.

I disagree with you about FA and cap space.
Stoudemire and Anthony can become flexible with their contracts once we bring in a solid piece from FA.
First things first.
Terminate the whole coaching staff.
Restructure C.Billups contract for flexibility in FA.
We not only need bigs. We need to bring in a new coaching staff.

This team as is can win a couple rounds.
Witht he coaching staff it cannot win a championship no matter whom we add next year as pieces.

I’m reading a number of comments dismissing possible draft suggestions on account of things like “too short”, “can’t create his own shot”, “unathletic”, “has to overhaul entire game”, blah blah blah.

How. Do. You. Know?

For fans of a team that just drafted a guy in the 2nd round that is arguably the 2nd or 3rd best rookie this year, there sure are a lot of people willing to dismiss certain potentials like Jimmer Fredette and such.

I’m not gonna say whether Fredette is the next star, or whatever, but holy shit, have any of you watched him play? Someone said he can’t create his own shot… that he gets his points on ISOs and Pull-up jumpers. My question to you: If scoring on isolation plays and pull-up jump shots is NOT considered creating your own shot… wtf is?? This kid drops 35+ pts routinely while being the absolute obvious #1 option on his team. Still shoots 40% from 3, .456FG as a guard shooting 20 shots a game. He still manages to drop 4 dimes a game too. In his 52pt game he shot 22-37 from the field (.595FG) & 7-14 (.500) from 3. The entire basketball world sees this kid coming and he STILL scores.
How anyone can simply dismiss what he has done ON HIS OWN is just repeating typical buzz words that sound intelligent to hack experts.

No one here is calling this kid a superstar or even a lottery pick. The NCAA Tournament hasn’t even begun yet and half the draft is decided based on the tournament and the draft camps after. If you think you can size anyone up before then, you’ve got another thing coming. And that doesn’t just go for Fredette. Careers are made in the tournament.

More like JJ Redick with better passing and can come off the bench.
He’s built like Baron Davis but a much better shooter.
He’s been much more impressive than Eddie House.

Is that true or are you guys just joking?

I understand we can’t trade this years pick. But does that include if we trade it in a package in order to move up in the first round? This way we would still have a 1st round pick. Or does it not matter and you just can’t trade the pick at all?
