I would have given Leon a B for the off-season.

that was supposed to be a B plus but I forgot we banned the plus sign.

ess-dog:
Can’t believe it’s Summer League already. Davion Mitchell looked real good yesterday, too.

yeah..i was watching that game and thinking the same thing…very polished…definitely stood out amongst the rest of the riff raff….

Once you get into the later first round, you are drafting the sophomores, juniors, etc…who have less upside. This is true regardless of who is drafting later in the first round. The young kids in that draft range are even more risky than the top young kinds. So its not short sighted to draft older kids in that range.

McBride doesn’t have a hold as a 2nd rd pick, I’m pretty sure.

He could get the minimum, but wouldn’t surprise me if they pay him a bit more.

Hah! I totally confused McBride and Grimes in my head. My bad!

So yeah, McBride’s minimum is already accounted for in the Knicks’ cap room that gives them $8 million or so, and so anything over the minimum would come out of that cap space, but I imagine he won’t get much more than the minimum.

expecting rookies to play much of a role at all is an outlier scenario, not the expected scenario.

But if you look at the 2020 draft – even “good” non-lottery rookies don’t play that much. Most of the real minutes that rookies played went to teams that weren’t trying to win – with notable exceptions of IQ, Pritchard, Flynn, Desmond Bane, Xavier Tillman. Only 4 second round picks played >383 minutes (Maledon, Tillman, Saben Lee, Kenyon Martin Jr).

so did you just conveniently skip over Precious Achiuwa and Tyrese Maxey when you went all the way over to Pritchard and Flynn? does that change your calculus at all or nah?
