Alright, they resisted taking the safe pick in Mikal Bridges - with KP out for awhile - and the Knicks in need of a 2-3-5 before picking what is ideally a 6. Porter could not work out for them, and the health was too much of a risk. Instead, they took a long, athletic frosh, who can score and reboud and was a high school at AAU defender. Knox has massive upside as a second star for the Knicks with KP. A 3 to his 4 or a long to his long in a positionless offense. Sexton wasn't there to create a conflict in me, I wanted Knox in this case, and so did the Knicks. We haven't really had a long, lean scorer - unless you consider KP more that than pure unicorn. Knox has great hands and feet. And any Knick fan who doesn't get this, doesn't get much. This is a great pick.
Btw, let me remind you that the Knicks had Knox and Miles Bridges in at the same time and had them duel it out. What do you think the result was?

I’m good with it. Porter is tantalizing, but I have no idea about his back.
I wanted Porter but with ALL teams passing on him to this point, medicals could be bad. Knox would be my next choice or a trade down.
Porter couldn't do his second work out. Plus he's a vegan and that might be slowing his healing. Knox and he were rated together when Knox signed with Kentucky and Porter went to Mizzou.
Medicals must be bad and healing is awful.
Maybe we can get him at 36.
I think Porter goes to Denver ..
He did, Let's get another piece at 36.
I'd like to get a monster like Robert Williams .... rebounder and shot blocker!
Sounds good, would like to get another long.
We just lost Robert Williams.
Celtics keep getting great players!
Hoping for Melvin Frazier from Tulane in round 2 now .. great defender .. 6'6
I despise Orlando, took my guy Bamba and now Frazier
