    You don't ? with Cauley-Stein? He can guard 3 positions as a PF/C. Frank Top 5 is a stretch. I hope Isiah, I mean Phil Jackson Draft Kaminsky with the Knicks lottery pick.

    breh, winning the #1 overall pick doesn't matter. It's so much options. As long as they don't pick that no defense lackadaisical soft ass Okafor, the Knicks good gawd

    Karlito, Russell, Mudiay, Justise, or Kaminsky ..... we'll be good with one of these guys, ya heard B-)

    It matters for us. We desperately need a star player and 3 of the top 4 players in this draft don't fit our roster nearly as well as Towns does. I think towns is going first or second. He's the best player in this draft imo. As far as the second tier of prospects Turner and Winslow are growing on me. Wouldn't be mad if we took either of them outside the top 4

    If the Knicks don't get #1 and take Towns then I'd hope for #3 (if we have the 2nd pick I know we'd take Okafor, who I don't want). At 3, we can take Winslow or D'angelo Russell who would both be great pieces for the future.

    Winslow reminds me a lot of Kawhi Leonard and Russell measuring out to 6'5 as a PG is GOAT, size is a necessity at the PG spot now

    Phil isn't selecting him as a first option ahead of Karlito or Russell. I didn't think Mudiay was on Phil's radar because of his shooting. I changed my mind because his game is similar to Reggie Jackson and Phil wanted him bad although he don't seem like a triangle fit. Mudiay is just a better passer and i read he getting better at shooting. I honestly think Phil would select Kaminsky over WCS because of his skill set and perfect fit for the triangle

    Knicks already have developing wing players in Cleanthony Early & Thanasis Antetokounmpo. We can't lose selecting Justise Winslow who can be a solid backup for Melo and is similar to Jimmy Butler and Kawhi Leonard. I can see a guy like him taking over Melo's spot in the future. If Knicks don't select him it will most likely be because they plan on keeping Lance Thomas, Early, Thanasis, Hardaway, and getting experienced wing players like Danny Green or Demarre Carroll to make them contenders. I doubt Phil would select Kaminsky over Justise but won't be surprised neither because he's similar to Pau Gasol & Bargnani (When he plays good). Kaminsky is better than Mirotic IMO

    Oh I know that but Knicks gonna have a top 5 regardless. If y'all get the 1st pick, Okafor would fit in well. Who's Orlando's target. I'm curious to know what prospects Magic fans want.

    How can you say Kaminsky is better than Mirotic and the guy hasn't even played a game in the NBA yet? SMH.

    Okafor makes no sense for us. Were already soft in the middle. Him and Vuc are pretty similar in strengths and weaknesses. Only way I can see us taking him is if were picking top 3 and Russell and Towns are off the board. im guessing we will end up picking 5th so in our draft range I like Turner/Winslow/Herzonja/Porzingis if we move down I want Herzonja/Porzingis/Turner/Kaminsky if we move up into the top 3 Towns/Russell.
