Knicks Draft Review

The Knicks got a lot more interesting tonight.  Above is a picture of Thanasis, who they got last year and who's rights they still control.   In taking Porzingis, the Knicks swung for the fences.  Generally, I only root for that for the Yanks when their good, or the Rangers and Giants when I believe they have a scouting advantage.  I don't know if the Knicks have a scouting advantage, but they swung for the fences.

The next move was a great one, trading Tim Hardaway Jr. in the threeway for Jerian Grant.  Tim was athletic but wouldn't play D or take it to the rack as much as his AA would have allowed him to,  Jerian plays D and makes plays and big shots on O.  He's a PG and can play off the ball, too and is a good, solid 6'5" 209.  He could be a crucial piece.

The Knicks later jumped back in again and took Kris Porzingis' teammate in Willy Hernangomez, and 6'11 load at 255 -- and apparently they inted to stash him.  Though that was the thougnt about Thanasis last year and he ended up on their development team.

So now they have 3 more intriguing players to go along with Cleanthoy, Thanasis and Langston.  We'll see what it can turn into, but they grew their potential tonight, how much pretty much depends on Kristaps.
