Have two first round picks playing in the Finals for teams that obviously did not draft them.


Name them.

You're supposed to guess.  Don't google the answer Turk.

Me and Enes don’t do what you and Recep want 👎🤣

Besides, everyone knows about KD. Jeff may be a little tougher. I bet you googled it yourself.

OTOH...
Looking forward to welcoming KP to NY. Unfortunately, EK can't go to Ankara, or Istanbul for that matter.

I actually forgot about Green.

There is still another Sonic draft pick in the series you haven't accounted for.

O Lord, I’d have to read the whole article and just don’t feel like it. Please be a good boy and tell us. 👼🏼

Its not in the article.  The article is about Sonics who played games as Sonics.

Serge Ibaka was the final 1st round pick drafted by the Sonics... just prior to the announcement they would be leaving Seattle.

I really enjoyed the Sonics growing up.

I’m good with Ja or RJ at three. I would trade any of our young and under contract guards (DJ, Frank, Trier, Dot), along with cash and a second round pick for Brandon Clarke as well. I think he’s going to be a Rodman / Pippen level player when he rounds out his game. Mitch, Clarke, and 3 scratch defenders gives you a top 10 D. Those two cover up a ton of mistakes. Clarke is already an exemplar for current and future wings both defensively and off the ball. He’s a great athlete with a great head and I want him on the Knicks.

Freddie Brown was one of my favorite players.  Had a reputation as a mad bomber, but could do a lot more.

Brandon Clarke,  Gonzaga,  PF

Cons
Will be 23 years old at the start of the season.  Projects a wing defender but not a stretch 4.  Only made 1 in 4 at Gonzaga. 

Pros
Plays defense.  Can defend multiple positions. 

Comparison
Jared Jeffries.

[Yankguy1]

I think Clarke is far more athletic than Jeffries and will be a considerably better pro than Hachimura.

[kiidcarter8]

Heh

"Will be 23" is a con.

[kiidcarter8]

I think Clarke is far more athletic than Jeffries and will be a considerably better pro than Hachimura.

Yeah

Jared is half white, after all.

[Yankguy1]

That's your game, Kiid.  Run with it. 

[Kam]

Aug 9, 2006 - What Jared brings to us, more so than talent, he brings chemistry. I think he balances your locker room. He balances the plane ride.

Speaking of Jeffries, his thoughts on Emmanuel Mudiay (and he was spot on):

Jared Jeffries, the former Nuggets scouting director and ex-Knicks forward, told The Post that Emmanuel Mudiay desperately needed out of Denver before his entire career was shot. “I know how tough it was for [general manager] Tim [Connelly] and [owner] Josh [Kroenke] to let him go,’’ Jeffries told The Post in a phone interview. “They did the right thing for the kid. They could’ve held on to him to the point of no return and ruin his career. It’s really good the Knicks trusted what they believed at draft time and got him for a discount. If he’s on top of the world and playing great, you’re not going to get him for that.” 1 year ago – via New York Post


“He’s not a bad shooter — he’s a bad finisher,’’ Jared Jeffries said. “That’s why his field-goal percentage is a big focus. If he becomes a better finisher — something very possible — his whole game transforms. Take out his layups, he’s not a bad shooter. If he’d finish at a 60 percent clip, he’d be 48 [percent] from the floor.” Indeed, Emmanuel Mudiay is fourth-worst in the league in field goal percentage on layups (45 percent). Mudiay also happens to be a good free-throw shooter (80 percent this season). 1 year ago – via New York Post

Shame that we will have TRIER posing as EM this year.
