So where are the fireworks?

What was the older Knick fan saying? "We want....?"

probably Mudiay. Because it is such a Knick fan pick. Flashy high school kid, skips college, sucks in a bad league. But they like him better than the kid who played in the 2nd best league in the world and played well.

Porzingis is NOT Frederic Weis. This kid has it all and the work ethic to make it big.

 
He can pop up and shoot from anywhere, but was he really the BPA at #4? Can the Knicks risk a bust with a Eurodude?

 

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

draft express rates kaminsky (9) over Porzingis (10).

 

[NickEsasky]

He's not richzingis he's not middleclasszingis he's porzingis

This might be right, but I don't think other fan bases realize how long it's been since NY has had even a league average PG. Mark Jackson really briefly when he was Rookie of the Year? Sugar Ray Richardson? Clyde Frazier? I wanted Mudiay.

The Kings will select Wilie Cauley-Stein with the No. 6 pick, league sources tell Yahoo.

Well this might get fun fast.

He's no more of a risk than anyone left on the board. It isn't like he played in some crap league, the ACB is probably better than college ball.

Boy, that makes you think Cousins really is getting dealt.

Best player today or best player in 5 years? The draft isn't about today but at the end of the day if he ends up 2nd best it wouldn't shock me. He's in the top tier behind Towns for sure.

Zingis!

The Suns remain in aggressive pursuit of a move up in the draft, presumably targeting Frank Kaminsky, league sources tell Yahoo.

 

[ifmanis5]

The Knicks already have Bargnani and Aldrich, how big white guys do they need?

 

[Corsi]

leads the league in acne

 

[Cellar-Door]

I can't wait to see the White JR Smith put up 25 shots a game in Orlando.

 

[jon abbey]

Not that something this dumb is really worth answering, but neither of those guys are under contract or probably coming back. 

 

[Cellar-Door]

This guy is the best shooter in the draft, and scored less than 5 points a game?

4.7 PPG on 3.9 Shots is pretty decent.

 

[wade boggs chicken dinner]

He's not richzingis he's not middleclasszingis he's porzingis

too bad he's not porzikova

The Denver Nuggets will select guard Emmanuel Mudiay with the 7th overall pick in the NBA Draft, league sources tell Yahoo.

 

[bbc23]

Wow, Denver getting Mudiay is a surprise.  So Detroit wins the draft by having Winslow slide to them?

 

[Corsi]

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA  7s7 seconds ago
If the Nuggets keep the pick, they'll take Mudiay, sources tell Yahoo.

 

[JCizzle]

Get Justise!!!

 

[EL Jeffe]

Could Boston get Winslow at #9? That would be crazy.

 

[MillarTime]

If Winslow somehow gets past Detriot, Danny should overpay to get to #9 if it's an option.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Sadly Phil and the Knicks plan to ruin Porzingis, will not trade.

[Clears Cleaver]

what position does Winslow play? he and smart and bradley would be a defensive dream and they'd never score

 

[shawnrbu]

Starbury.

The Detroit Pistons will select Arizona's Stanley Johnson with the No. 8 pick in the NBA Draft, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

 

[Cellar-Door]

SF. Of course if you want the all-D squad you stay at 16 and take Rondae Hollis-Jefferson who is the best wing defender in the draft.

 

[RedOctober3829]

He'd be a 3.

Linsanity, for the briefest of moments . . . .

Marc Stein ‏@ESPNSteinLine  39s39 seconds ago
Among scenarios Celtics and Hornets have been discussing, sources say, is potentially swapping Boston's No. 16 & 28 for Charlotte's No. 9

 

[HomeRunBaker]

He's an ideal 3 in todays game with so many 3-guard lineups. This kid is really really tough and headstrong. Great pick for Detroit.....assuming they select him.

 

[radsoxfan]

So I was never a giant Winslow fan, but I would LOVE to get him at #9.  I would also rather have him over Stanley Johnson.

Boston will select Frank The Tank.

 

[Cellar-Door]

Does Charlotte make that Batum trade if they knew Winslow would be there at 9?

yes.
Winslow isn't going to step in and play anyywhere near Batum's level as a rookie. Charlotte wants to make a playoff push next year.

 

[Clears Cleaver]

Stanley Johnson is a bust. no one disappeared more in games than him. Russell was second amongst those college lottery picks

 

[JCizzle]

Plus JW can shoot the 3. We need that so bad. 

 

[Ed Hillel]

Hoping for a Winslow miracle.

 

[Marbleheader]

So, all of these players are deeply flawed

 

[Corsi]

Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS  21s21 seconds ago
First trade of the night could involve Charlotte with the 9th pick, sources say. Phoenix and Boston have been actively trying to move up.

 

[mikeford]

So with the Kings taking WCS... are we boned?

 

[Cellar-Door]

So, all of these players are deeply flawed

yep. Just like 99% of NBA draft picks

 

[E5 Yaz]

So, all of these players are deeply flawed

 
It's like they were rafting off the Red Sox roster
