With the five players they have selected prior gone and us picking 6, I like seeing Okoro Okongwu and Hayes still on the board. One of them would be the pick. Nasmith with the Clippers pick is fine with me. I like Scrubb as well in the second round, though I’d take Jalen Smith if available as he is in this mock.

With Perry likely on his way out, how about he does another Frederick Weis?
I mean, supposedly the current GM and the current coach, also likely on his way out, are supposed to make the picks.
Maybe just what Dolan's Knicks deserve.

No GM would purposefully tank a pick, knowing his reputation as a talent evaluator is on the line.

Oh, so you think Grunfeld/Tapscott thought Weis was better than Artest.

Interesting 🧐

Tapscott never got a GM job again.  I don't think Scott Perry wants to follow in those footsteps.

Tapscott made the pick. Why are you bringing up Grunfeld?

[carlos123]

Tapscott’s boss.
Besides, screwing the team that’s pushing you out may prove irresistible when a couple of morons is taking over for you.

Grunfeld was removed on April 21 of that season. At the time of his removal from his general manager post, during the 1998–99 season, the team had a 21–21 record and were on the verge of not making the playoffs.

One 4/20 mock update
https://www.nbadraft.net/nba-mock-drafts/

Who knows if the Knix pick 6.

But the nice thing about that mock is that only one PG (Ball) would be off the board, and we'd be free to choose between Ty Halubut, Cole Ant, and Hey Killjoy the Frenchie. 

Then again I was pleased we had a choice of Franc/Jr. Smith one year; and that we had a choice of Bridges x 2, Knox and Porter Jr another year.  Both times we took a chance and the results haven't been great.  But the other choices haven't exactly lit it up.  But both bridges look pretty solid if unspectacular, while Porter still retains the Upside aura and might be the best.  While Knox remains a project.

I'd be fine with taking BPA and not a PG if the brass think someone still around has all-star potential.  Or the PG's don't measure up.  The Israeli kid sounds intriguing (I haven't seen him), but likely will be gone, unless we're in the Top 5.

I wouldn’t take the ball out of Frank’s hands to give it to anyone besides Ball in this draft. And then I’d move RJ to the three and keep Frank on the floor as second PG and to cover the primary on the other end.

Killian Hayes and Ty Halliburton have a chance to be rotation worthy and may grow into something over time.

I think this draft may be better for adding depth to the frontcourt that brings defense and athleticism alongside Mitch and possibly Wooten.

I might agree with the 2nd part (positions), but who wants the ball in Franc's hands?  He can barely dribble upcourt, passes when 30' out.  Lets Orange&Blue Julius bring the ball upcourt.  Franc far from being a legit (as opposed to default) starting PG.

Killian Hayes and Ty Halliburton have a chance to be rotation worthy and may grow into something over time.

We desperately need shooting.  Seems like Ty Stick could provide that. 
And if he can play Point, then it'd be a good pick.

Since the only draft pick we hit on now plays in Dallas, we really need at minimum to nab a starter. 

PG and shooting should be prioritized over frontcourt D.
I'd be wary of taking a PG at #25.  Though Tre Jones might be solid enough.
But seems like the 25 pick could net us a shooter like Saddiq Bey or Vassell.
Then again, I'm not a draftnik and really don't know these guys.

[lesterluv]

Let's Orange&Blue Julius bring the ball upcourt. 

No. Just fucking no. I'd rather inject lysol, drink beach, and pour ammonia up my ass than see that again one time in my life.

In fact. The saving grace of the season suspension was I didn't have to see that any more.

••• can't even believe you joke about that ish...https://streamable.com/y3ip2

No doubt in my mind we make every attempt to trade up pre draft.
