NBA Draft Poll: Assuming we stay in the 7/8 range when the draft comes

[KRL]

Both picks are showing Perry/Mills aren't scared of trying to hit a home run by valuing
talent and upside over an established player. Hopefully they work out, it will be very
interesting watching the team in Vegas

[big_j_NY]

So if Kanter opts in as expected is our C rotation going to be something like Kanter/Robinson/Noah?

I think we didnt go with another wing as we are probably stuck with Lee & Timmy and Dotson needs mins too if we are going to find out if he's good enough.

Mudiay, Frank, Timmy, Knox, Kanter - Realistic starting lineup for this season?


I'd love to tell myself the Robinson pick is because we know Kanter is opting out but I doubt that

Mudiay isn't a lock to be here next season..........and I know damn well Fiz will be pushing Knox to play the 3 spot more.

So NO, not a realistic starting lineup at all. If Frank STILL isn't ready to run point next season, then Burke & Timmy is our starting backcourt with Knox & "mystery PF" alongside Kanter (that SOB isn't turning down $20+ M for one more year)

Nah, we will likely play two point guards next season until KP comes back. Burke, Ntilikina, Hardaway, Knox, Kanter (unless he opts out) is a very realistic starting five for opening day. My guess: Knox will move to the 3 as a starter once KP returns with a PG going to the bench and Hardaway sliding into the 2. Doesn't really matter though, because Knox will play both forward positions anyway.

[rebound]

Agreed spree. The Knicks would be foolish to play Knox at the 3 with KP out. Do you guys want Lance thomas or luke kornet starting instead?

[spree#8]

...

That's the only downside isn't it............it looks like the Knicks are catering to "KP's PF preference" unfortunately.

At least we're going QUICK........instead of getting more slow-footed Kanters and Wendell Carters.

Not sure what you mean with catering. We certainly want to take advantage of KP playing the 4 and the 5, so of course we need some centers on the roster, right? With not being sure whether we commit to one of our centers on the roster long-term and having traded Hernangomez away, why not take a chance on Robinson? He is just a second-rounder, so we simply hope that he can be a rotation big, not the future starter.

[Mr3037]

I have read that Fizz thinks he can work some magic with Mudiay & unlock some of that potential everyone thought he had?

Anyway I'm fine with Burke starting but I think Frank has to start.
Give him those starter mins and fins out 1 way or another if he's good enough as right now the jury is out

[spree#8]

BTW: as of now I probably should say that Lee starting instead of one of the point guards is also still a good bet unless/until he is traded.

frank
dotson
knox
kornet
mitchell
hicks?
baker?

I hope Frank and Mudiay get their chances before Lee.
Lee is old regime.

Here's a snippet from a workout with MR:

[Mr3037]

Spree is probably right in that Fizz would start Lee........I wouldnt though.

I'd rather get mins into guys who will be here for the next few years

[Starbury3]

Agreed spree. The Knicks would be foolish to play Knox at the 3 with KP out. Do you guys want Lance thomas or luke kornet starting instead?

I shudder that we are still saying that name. Lance Thomas....

Old regime can't leave quick enough.

[cragganmor]

I still have hope, maybe ORL will take a pair of future second rounders, the ones we got in exchange for whg, to land Frazier?

[cragganmor]

Hope we are trying to buy a pick. Since JV is off the board, take a look at Gary Clark; old school competent combo forward, versatile, knows how to play. But if we're feelin lucky, he could be UDFA.

[Mr3037]

Yeah maybe we can swing a trade to get in 1 more pick......would make tanking easier having 3 rooks to keep an eye on

[cragganmor]

Theo Pinson and Bonzie Colson went UDFA, both good talents. BC reminds me of Boris Diaw, kinda raunchy, undersized but skilled with long arms, great motor.
