Should be between these two in my opinion@storyteller break it down brotha who could actually mesh well with RJ better?
In terms of fit, I'd lean toward Kira. But if the Knicks took a shot on Okoro, I'd completely understand. The idea of Frank, RJ, Okoro and Mitch playing in a defensive system designed by Thibs and Woodson is kinda crazy fam. Offensively, it kinda comes down to how much you buy into his shot improving. He's strong as hell, handles the ball pretty well, solid passer, and a legitimately good finisher point blank. But the jumper is the missing piece.
And since it's the jumper that's a question mark, I think you can see why I fall more toward Kira Lewis. Kira's offensive fit is just as hype to me as Okoro's defensive potential with those youngsters. Kira's speed combines with Robinson's freak athleticism to make for a very hype pick and roll offense. He can also shoot off the dribble when defenders go under the screen. He can make tough passes with both hands, which means shooters and cutters can eat too. The offense speeds up as soon as he touches the floor fam...and defensively, he's not bad but he has to get stronger which should happen with NBA trainers.
I don't think you go wrong picking either of them, but purely on fit I lean toward Kira Lewis.
The warchest is too barren to make risky moves like that imo, but if the Knicks do trade Mitch to move up then they should try and swing a trade for someone on the cheap like Mo Bamba, or draft Jalen Smith or Daniel Oturu later in the draft ( although I don't think any of them will have the impact that Mitch is capable of defensively).
). Not only is Williams more athletic than 90% of the bigs who are currently in the league, you'd have to go back to someone like Alonzo Morning to find that type of standing reach and wingspan on a player his height. When it comes to young, strictly rim-running bigs, I think Williams and Mitch are in a class of their own in terms of raw talent, their issues lie in between their ears tbf.
