T0mShane Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Three weeks to go and there's basically nothing out there on the draft. It's kind of spooky. Everyone is in love with Mudiay now, supposedly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Have we even scheduled Okafor? Looks like it's down to Winslow, WCS, and Mudiay based on the workout itinerary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's down to Winslow, WCS, and Mudiay based on the workout itinerary.I read somewhere that Knicks worked out Okafor privately in Chicago right after the combine. If Okafor is there at 4 and they pass on him for the likes of WCS or Winslow Jax should get the William Wallace treatment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obviously not L.A. we're hoping to screw up. We get Okafor, maybe, if Minnesota takes Russell and gives them Towns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that Knicks worked out Okafor privately in Chicago right after the combine. If Okafor is there at 4 and they pass on him for the likes of WCS or Winslow Jax should get the William Wallace treatment Update, the Okafor workout news from the past was a rumor. Officially, Okafor hasn't worked out with any team but was interviewed recently and said he has to talk to his agent about individual team workout. Towns' reps have said that he will not work out with any team. Russell had dinner with LA last night and is meeting with Knicks this week. Knicks are also rumored to be interested in Murry State PG Cameron Payne in a trade-down scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMC Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Rumors are that Jax looking to trade down with Denver at 7 in exchange for 4th overall and Ty Lawson. No word if deal includes a 2026 2nd rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdetroit Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I don't know if I'd trade down all the way to 7. WCS may not last to 7 but Lawson and Cauley Stein together would be a hell of a pickup. I want no part of Herzonja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Chad Ford has some good video from Mudiay's LA workout. https://twitter.com/chadfordinsider This is getting me excited a bit, which means it won't happen. Regardless of what the top 3 chose, this is my ranking of NYK wants: 1. Towns 2. Okafor 3. Mudiay 4. Russell 5. WCS 6. Winslow I like Winslow's skillset, but undersized wing players are a tough sell. If you look at the top 5, they all have something special/unique physically or skill-wise. Winslow is lacking that and if we're talking about a top 5 pick the Knicks need someone who has that special/unique physicality or skill-set.

For this team I'm really close to putting WCS ahead of everybody except Towns. Gun to my head I'm still not passing on Okafor but a frontcourt of him and Carmelo is never stopping anybody ever.

I don't know what we get for a few slots realistically. I would probably just take him. I couldn't care less if Cauley-Stein never develops an offensive skill set. I'll live with that if that's his big issue. He's still the guy I'm most confident in being at least good besides Towns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gun to my head I'm still not passing on Okafor but a frontcourt of him and Carmelo is never stopping anybody ever. For this draft, I'm ignoring everyone on the Knicks roster and just going on the selection. "Fitting in" with Carmelo is not a concern of mine because I'm thinking next 15 years while Melo will be here, tops, another 4, but most likely only 3 years.

WCS has a good shot, at least from the videos and reports by Ford and others from his workout, so he can develop an offensive game. It's a tough call between WCS and Mudiay if that's the choice at 4 with no trade-down, but I'd have to go with Mudiay every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdetroit Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 WCS over Mudiay just because I think he's a way safer pick. He'll never average more than 10-12 points per game but the nba is all about switch defense and disrupting passing lanes and he's great, not good but great at both.

Completely understand your position, but I'd rather going daring at 4 than safe and that means Mudiay who has the higher upside at a premier position.

SMC Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Rumor now is if Lakers tske Russell, Sixers will select Okafor tomkeep him as a trade asset. Don't see validity in that and I doubt Okafor's people will approve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
