The mad early 2013 Knicks draft thread

[RunningJumper]

Anybody you want us to draft that we realistically could get (if we have/will get a pick)?

[CA7]

We have a 1st Rounder but I'm unsure what a need is right now, PF maybe

Maybe, though maybe Copeland could fit the bill. I hope he can. PG too since who knows how much longer Kidd and Prigioni will be playing.

nah Copeland wont be good enough to eventually replace STAT or even back him up

Actually I'm hoping we let Prigs walk after the season and sign Bo McCalebb

Anthony Bennet will be good also

McLemore is playing himself into a top 5 pick right now.

People are calling him Wade meets Ray Allen.

I hope that whoever the Knicks draft becomes a superstar.If the Golden-State Warriors could select Gilbert Arenas with the 30th pick in the draft anything is possible.

Anthony Bennett is my favorite PF prospect and I'd love to trade up and select him.

[NYk_Reloaded718]

Lebryan Nash is one of my favorites he has a smoove game... kind of reminds me of Joe Johnson

[metrocard]

Anthony Bennett is my favorite PF prospect and I'd love to trade up and select him.

He reminds me of Barkley, great thing about Bennett is he has a lot of skills and substance over his athleticism, which isn't elite, but Bennett can just beat his guy with pure skills.

NYk_Reloaded718, I would love for the Knicks to trade Amar'e for some extra draft picks.

Yea, crazy, I dont' think he was even a top 10 prep last year.

We should probably draft a guard, but you always take the best player available.

This is true.


What position do you guys feel like we're in most desperate need of youth and talent?

Guard. A guy to go with Iman going forward, who knows if JR will reup here. Kidd and Felton have limited shelf life, need a lead guard.

But have to go with the premise, you go with the best available player.
