Everything you said makes sense but unfortunately Dolan and Mills have proven they are not good at making common sense decisions:francis:
Mitch might end up a super Clint Capela which is not bad at all
Capela is one of the Rockets most important offensive players due to the spacing he provides when he rolls to the basket and Mitch can be the same for the Knicks
I think Mitch is a defensive anchor who's main role is to role to the basket
I didn't realize Knicks fans think he can be more than that talking about post moves and a jumper
However, post moves and a jumper would do a lot for his game and my ceiling for him would increase
Super Clint Capela? Breh, you better hope he’s as good as regular Clint Capela. :russ:

That boy not getting a jumper or post moves he just needs to bulk up and we’ve got an elite rim runner/vertical spacer and rim protector.

Don’t expect more out of him because you will be disappointed. That is his player archetype.

If he is as good as regular Clint Capela that would be great
But I feel he can be Clint Capela and more or an even more elite version of him
which is what I meant by super Clint Capela
He like Clint Capela will most likely end up being a rim runner though who will provide elite defense and vertical spacing
His 3rd or 4th year (he is a big man so they take longer to develop) will tell us a lot

Wooten needs a call up.
Posts like this remind me I'm not watching this team anymore after the Pels game
I have MSG so I have made use of it but I would rather watch something else
The main reason why I watch the Knicks, is for RJ
Last year I watched a game here and there for some of the young guys like Knox and Mitch
Now the main reason why I watch the Knicks have been nullified by these vets

Would rather see Wooton running the floor blocking shots and giving effort on defense than Portis and Randle

After watching the offense run through Bullock and Payton in that first quarter against the Jazz with RJ coming off a hot shooting night made me realize it will be like this for the rest of the season

If that's the case I'm definitely out

The Knicks are losing so there really is no point to catering to the vets

Focus on developing and instilling confidence in the young players instead

I don't like how the Knicks organization is run from top to bottom and I don't know how Knicks fans deal with this shyt

I've realized even with Perry and Mills gone this organization will find a way to fukk things up anyway

I’m starting to notice that Frank always shows out in front of his fellow Frenchmen. Maybe we should sign Fournier this off season :lupe:

Good point but idk about Fournier...Where's Maledon projected to go at this point? If we fall out of even Haliburton, Maledon is intriguing too. Edit: SBNation has us drafting Killian Hayes lol

I just saw Haliburton's jump shot form I'm good fam :mjlol:

Maledon is lottery. This draft is weird it's hard to get a feel.

Killian Hayes has come out of nowhere I like how he attacks off the hang dribble, he makes advanced reads as a passer, can play out ball screens. :leon:

Hey it goes in man...I feel you though, it looks like a damned chest pass on an arc :lolbron:

This is a draft where nobody has really broken away from the pack. If I'm picking five, I'll probably find a guy I like just as much around 10 or even 15. This is gonna be one of those years where a couple of good games in March get a guy from mid-round to top 5 in a heartbeat. Meanwhile one of these euro or aussie league cats is gonna end up RoY next season.

The talent is more spread around this draft than any draft I've seen in a long time
You really can't know for certain with any of the picks
A lot of quality PGs/probable projects Maledon, RJ, Cole, LaMelo, Killion, Maxey, Haliburton, Nico, etc. plus hidden gems
