    Exactly who I have in mine for our B2B picks. Get a project OG with elite defensive traits already who Thibs will love. Edey would be great, could definitely use another frontcourt body and with Mitch's future in question with either trading him and/or injury concerns it would be a fantastic backup plan.

    Ryan Dunn's offensive game is so bad that he's scared to do anything when the ball is in his hand. And blaming the offensive system is a copout, since he passes up wide open three's. He would be a project pick. It's almost like people who make these videos only watch highlights of these prospects.

    I don't think you can draft a guy who can't shoot. I just don't think Thibs is playing a guard who shoots 40/20/50. Doesn't matter how well they defend

    • @LockedOnKnicks
      @LockedOnKnicks  3 місяці тому +3

      imo it's impossible to say a guy can or can't shoot when he's as low volume as he was and played for Virginia who never really highlight any single player on offense. Even our own OG Anunoby only shot like 31% from 3 on 2.5 attempts his last year in college and look at what he's become! If Dunn would be able to come off the bench and come along slowly, he's already got one elite NBA skill (defense), so basically he's a jumper away from being a solid NBA role player

    Great takes on Edey but I'm sorry though the Spurs are picking Edey at 8. Edey will be teaming up with Wemby to share minutes, fouls and 240lb+ match ups. Also there will be big to big lobbing with Edey and Wemby.

    Is Ryan really 6'8 or 6'6 because I would love for him to back up heart when OG gets hurt, but I really like Deron Holmes II to back up randle at the 4 spot, and I want kel'el Ware for the five spot to take Simms spot on the team.

      He's the same size as OG but without the freakish length of OG. Which is why I lessened the Dunn hype. We were told he was 6'9 at one point. That's why we have the combine I suppose

    🙄💩 these are 2 prospects that would have me breaking my TV during the draft if they were chosen. With all the solid, plus sized wings available to draft, Dunn is the pick Yall try and saddle my NYK’s with. And Edey isn’t the answer at the 5 spot considering we already have Robinson, and hopefully resign IHart. Even if IHart isn’t retained, the backup 5 spot could be filled with any of the other bigs in the draft. Jericho Sims isn’t even an option for major min, and I’d try to bring back Precious Acheiwa. Do better fellas…

      The Knicks should absolutely not trade up for him! The Knicks need someone that can bring the ball up and create their own shot. That should be the number one goal, whether that be Randle or a trade. That absolutely killed us this year and must be addressed!! Besides, this is the old two to make one play this year. If he is available when we pick, Then I could see taking a flyer on him

      I actually think this is a pretty false narrative. Thibs doesn't play players he can't trust. But he's given five rookies (IQ, Obi, Grimes, Deuce, Sims) playing time and roles in their rookie years and then fairly significant roles in their soph years and beyond

    The Knicks were able to make those two in season moves, because we had young players that we had drafted and developed. Time to reload for the future.
