1996 was the last time the Knicks had three picks in the first 21 picks, at least! 🙂

Also, Nate was technically drafted by the Suns.

Also, in 2005, Chris Paul went #4, Knicks picked #8. Story of the Knicks.

Hubert, you are 100% correct. I forgot that Frye, Robinson and Lee were all in the same draft. That was not a bad result at all.

KFNINJ, I think you’re thinking of the John Wallace, Walter McCarty, Dontae’ Jones draft. But actually the last time we had three picks in the first round we drafted Channing Frye, Nate Robinson, and David Lee.

So the good news on Obi is that teams are defending him rather than leaving him open for three pointers because this year he is shooting them with a good percentage. The bad news is that this defense totally shuts him down.

History was not kind to the Knicks the last time they had three in the first round.

On the brightside, we do have three 1st rd picks based on current standings. Mavs dropped into the back end of the lotto.

Picks 10, 14, 18*

*10 & 18 are 3-way ties so 10-12 & 18-20

To then flip him and send him to LA, where even 2022 Smashing Pumpkins tickets are marked up,

Great show, btw. I sat in the pool circle, got a great look at Jimmy Chamberlain on the drums. That guy’s great. They played Jowles’ jam, too (stand inside your love).

And I went to Cholada Thai. Great day.

Does he even have defenders anymore?

I can’t imagine anyone being able to make a case for Leon Rose being good.

I knew Leon Rose sucked the moment I saw the details of the incineration trade. Not that the trade itself was that crippling, just that the thought process behind it showed a complete misunderstanding of the NBA draft and a rockheaded mentality with regards to player valuation. I called it right there and then.

I have said this here many times before: I’m just a guy on the internet. I play keyboards and guitar for a living. I’m not saying I would do a better job. I’m wrong about a lot of things all the time. But I was right about that one. Leon blows.

I think you can just say Obi is being defended period. Take away run outs and wide open threes (his release is low and a little on the slow side) and he’s got nothing but the occasional cut. He needs to at least try to do something off of the bounce in the half court.

It’s pretty alarming to watch your most recent lottery pick score 1 point total in two consecutive games in his third year while healthy and getting 17mpg.

Yes it is. Maybe Obi is getting defended differently than he used to be.
