the knicks are currently looking at five players and it almost seems like there is very high chance that a deal will be made on draft night to either move up to 3 or to get an additional pick at 5
so heres my question....
everyone has to pick one of two scenerios and defend their reasoning
1) trade up for the 3rd pick and snag OJ Mayo who is the obvious pick here
great scorer and an nba ready body... immediate production in the league can be seen from him and is probably the favorite to win the ROY award
2) trade for an additional pick at number five and with the 5 and 6 picks get 2 of the remaining 4 players on the knicks radar
westbrook- extremely athletic combo guard showed he most likely can make the transition to point since he played a bit of it this past yr in college and excelled... great defender, ok shot and is an unselfish player
eric gordon- great jump shot, extremely athletic, very little defense
danillo gallinari- known for basketball iq, and a 3pt shot, not listed as a great or horrible defender, agressive player but people question his toughness when making the transition to the nba, is only 19!!! and is 6' 10
joe alexander- tore up the big east which is a very tough college conference as you know, good defender (shot blocker), great jump shot but only good not great from 3, used to play point in high school before his growth spurt (means he can pass and handle the ball), very athletic and strong, very aggressive, 38 inch vertical and throws down, projected as the sleeper of the draft
so which scenerio do you choose (if you choose scenerio 2 who do you take) and back up your answers
