Even if the Knix pick 6th, Okongwu, Deni, Halliburton are interesting pieces. 
We need talent more than anything.  All should be legit starters.  See who has the extra gear or is highly motivated.  Okongwu by most accounts works hard.  Deni a swiss-knife type.  TyH an outside sniper (reminds me of Rodney Hood).

ODH is probably my ranking, with the caveat that I don't know much about these yute at all.

Haliburton

But he has a long, slow and low release. His feet are positioned awkwardly. The mechanics are not ideal, and this really shows up when Haliburton is forced to shoot off of the dribble, where he ranked in the 35th percentile nationally this past season at 0.684 PPP. That’s a drastic difference, and it’s exacerbated by the fact that Haliburton can struggle to consistently turn the corner against good defenders. When you can’t beat a man, you’re forced to shoot a midrange pull-up, often contested. That’s a suboptimal outcome for any player on any possession, let alone a guy that shoots 49 percent off the catch and 28 percent off the dribble.

The thing is, the length is there for Haliburton. He has long strides. He has the reach to finish around a shotblocker. He is bouncier around the rim than he gets credit for. But if he had struggles getting past defenders at the college level it’s not a good indicator of his ability to get to the rim moving up to the pros.

The Sacramento Kings' Richaun Holmes also landed back in quarantine after he left the bubble to pick-up a delivery of take-out food.

What's been common in China the past few months is to set up drop points for food and other deliveries just outside a gated area.  For example, hospitals and universities have set up some large shelving units to handle packages.

That way folks don't need to interact with the delivery people and the delivery don't need to go into the campus area.

Great outside shooter, but a dim witted motherfucker. 

Not regretting passing on him in the least.

He's a little nuts.  Seems like an anti-vaxxer or at least from an anti-vaxx family.

Porter, who played college basketball at Missouri, went on to say that he had never been vaccinated.
However, according to the school's website, students born after 1956 are required to "comply with the two-dose MMR Immunization Policy."
"I've never been vaccinated in my life. I've never had any shots or anything like that. So it could get crazy. But it's definitely behind everything that's going on right now and all you could do is sit back and watch what's going on.

Kiid thinks like an infected cannibal rat and assumes everyone else does too.

I hope Thibs & Rose recognize Miller’s coaching chops and that Thibs, Mike, and Woody can envision a productive way to work together, and that some team like the Bulls doesn’t want to make Miller their head coach.

Thibs, Woody, and Miller would be a hell of a core of a staff.
