There are draft sites on the internet that had Obi rated over Wiseman He’s an Amare clone. Offensively he’s going to be special but his defense meh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Defense Wins Championships 2,413 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Wow did NYK just land a 6'3 PG out of KENTUCKY?!?!? I don't know too much about Immanuel Quickley but I do know that if he's good enough for John Calipari he's good enough for me as an NY fan! Anthony Edwards may have went #1 overall as a Second-team All-SEC player however I just heard John Calipari mentioning how not only was this kid last year's First-team All-SEC PG but also the SEC Conference Player of the year?!?!? Anthony Edwards who?!? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HessStation 28,575 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 It’s too bad I don’t watch the NBA anymore bc I like both picks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nycdan 19,474 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 One small note FWIW... Rose traded 27 and 38 to move up to 23. Then traded 23 to move back down to 25 and 33. So in effect, he moved 27 and 38 up to 25 and 33. That's Kevin Costner - Draft Day stuff. Regardless of who he picked, he seemed to have a good feel for the value of the picks.

Sonny Werblin 4,837 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 So, if you look at a traditional lineup what does the Knicks lineup look like? C - Robinson; Taj Gibson (color me surprised that they basically gave away Oturu) PF - Randle; Toppin (Do they intend to trade Randle or have him play some C?) SF - Brezdekias, Knox; Harkless (or just put Randle and Toppin in at Forward together) SG - Barret; Dotson PG - Quickley; Smith, Jr; Nitlikina It seems like a messy hodgepodge of players that just don't fit together in a traditional lineup unless they just intend to put their best player on the court regardless of position? And doing that requires Toppin, Randle and Robinson to be on the floor together. So, the lineup would be: C - Robinson F - Randle (C when Robinson on the bench) F - Toppin G - Barret G - Quickley; Smith, Jr Defensive specialist - Nitlikina Shooting/Small Forwards - Knox and Brezdikias Quote Link to post Share on other sites
