Zinger a Knick

I love the Knicks draft. The kid has has a 7-6 wingspan. He is athletic, has a nice stroke, and really wanted to be a Knick. Many draft guys say he has the upside to be the best player in the 19, he played a lot of minutes in a top euro league.

Sure he needs to add weight, but at 19 with the proper diet, that can be accomplished. Better him having to add weight, than having to lose it.

Every pick is a projection, esepically at such a young age. If the kid becomes Dirk Nowitzki, we won't complain.

Moreover, getting Grant, was a nice pick. He looks like he is well suited for the triangle.
Agree on all counts. Plus if he pans out will have years to add pieces and build around him. Melo now in thirties coming off injury and hasn't won big in his over a decade career so glad we are not going all out for a win now mode which never works and destroys the future which constantly becomes the present. That is of course if Phil doesn't make a trade either soon or down the road if the dopey fans show no patience and boo the kid out of town if he doesn't have immediate success.
 
Yes, the problem is that the Knicks are always in a win now mode, even when it's futile. Well you're not going to win now with Carmelo anyway but that aside does that stunt the kids growth? He not only needs weight, he need minutes. Hope they don't plop him on the bench in a ridiculous quest to get close to .500 and the 8 seed. Stephen A says that Carmelo should demand a trade, who the F would trade for him and especially his contract? And someone wants him and there's real good value offered then Phil should say thank you very much.
 
S.A. Smith is a self promoting, self aggrandizing, windbag! :angry: And may I add disingenuous, dishonest, hypocritical,and egotistical!
