I need some sleep but I can’t go to bed, I’m just too scared…
I remember the 96 disaster but I don’t remember a draft where we choose from a pool this wide… mocks and rumors are all over the place…

I think 2pt% is the most important and then ft% and 3pt% are more the case of benchmarks of either they are very good, especially on lots of attempts and that is a huge plus or they are bad and its a red flag.

Like for instance, I would normally hate Grimes because he has one season of good 3pt shooting and a terrible 2pt% but he had a very good 2pt% in his Sophomore year and such a high volume of threes both of his big potential red flags have enough answers that I am satisfied especially with Houston’s success this year with him as the only NBA prospect.

Down to the wire. Will put one up at 8.

Donnie Walsh:
***Let’s keep note of who Knickerblogger Hive Mind would have drafted tonight when our spots come up, and compare that against the actual results.***

Hive mind all over the place this year. No one name has dominated. (Just look at Z-Man’s list: there are 19 players he’d take with the 19th pick!)

The only hive mind conclusions I see are not to trade up for Mitchell and also maybe not trade up at all, just make our picks. We were split on whether to trade a pick and players for Sexton.

Also, both scoring and efficiency matter, if the pts/40 or the TS% is too low it is a big red flag

I agree with just about everything you said, but will nitpick and say NCAA TS% doesn’t have a ton of predictive value because 3PT% is so volatile. If a guy has a strong 2PT% but weak 3PT% and thus a mediocre TS%, it doesn’t bother me much (assuming his FT% doesn’t indicate shooting is a big problem). In this draft Josh Christopher is a good example of the kind of player I’m talking about.

(And still Grimes at 32.)

If the Knicks keep their picks, one figures to be a ball-handler. Sources say they are very high on Hyland and are targeting him at No. 21 if they can’t move.

If we keep our picks , which we don’t know know till FA opens, they did something. In other words based on last year, I would grade the last draft as a B So we should be positive.
