Sure, no problem.wiseman at 22 is a scalding hot take, care to share that one? not going to say whether or not it's wrong but i haven't seen a big board with him out of the top 10, and he's in play as 1OA (tho only if minn trades out for some reason).
Here's my take. Hayes is going to be a stud and is my favourite prospect in this draft class. The Knicks aren't a smart enough franchise to take him, but conversely I think it'd be wild if he falls out of the top five. He shouldn't go any lower than 4 imo, he'd be a nice fit in Chicago if they think that Coby White is more of a 2 guard than a 1.wiseman at 22 is a scalding hot take, care to share that one? not going to say whether or not it's wrong but i haven't seen a big board with him out of the top 10, and he's in play as 1OA (tho only if minn trades out for some reason).
edit: now that the draft order is set i think based on need and not taking trades into account it goes:
1. timberwolves - edwards
2. warriors - wiseman
3. hornets - okongwu
4. bulls - okoro
5. cleveland - vassell
6. hawks - avija
7. pistons - ball
8. knicks - hayes (because lol knicks)
9-whenever: crapshoot
I think Haliburton is more of a realistic get for the Knicks and I'm a big fan of his too.IMO Knicks taking Hayes or Haliburton would be the best situation. There's no way we can get LaMelo (not that I'd want him), and RJ Hampton is a literal locker room cancer.
knicks are in desperate need true but I don't think haliburton falls to them unless atlanta trades out of #6 - in terms of what he does he just seems like the perfect low-risk fit for that team as a secondary playmarker and floor spacer who can run the second unit when trae sits. as far as other pgs go...ball almost certainly goes before #8 (though it'd be hilarious if he fell and the knicks landed him), kira lewis jr isn't a top10 pick, and the knicks aren't smart enough to take killian hayes. so they draft obi toppin as a skilled offensive big man who just so happens to be represented by caa, airmail a suitcase full of cash to fred vanvleet only to watch him resign in toronto, try and fail to swing a deal for westbrook and wind up settling for ricky rubio to faciliate chris paul's likely move to phoenix. sounds depressing, but this is the knicks we're talking about.Knicks are in desperate need of a PG, and I think they'll probably take Haliburton.
Also, thank god you left off RJ Hampton on your tier list.
Was reading an article earlier about Knicks leaning toward Kira Lewis, so their draft strategy might be to take a PG at 27.knicks are in desperate need true but I don't think haliburton falls to them unless atlanta trades out of #6 - in terms of what he does he just seems like the perfect low-risk fit for that team as a secondary playmarker and floor spacer who can run the second unit when trae sits. as far as other pgs go...ball almost certainly goes before #8 (though it'd be hilarious if he fell and the knicks landed him), kira lewis jr isn't a top10 pick, and the knicks aren't smart enough to take killian hayes. so they draft obi toppin as a skilled offensive big man who just so happens to be represented by caa, airmail a suitcase full of cash to fred vanvleet only to watch him resign in toronto, try and fail to swing a deal for westbrook and wind up settling for ricky rubio to faciliate chris paul's likely move to phoenix. sounds depressing, but this is the knicks we're talking about.
also I wish I was that cold but I had hampton at like tier 4 and then accidentally deleted his name, that's probably my b LOL. I will acknowledge though that he's talented and he goes late in the lottery just because he's the textbook danny ainge pick (highly touted high school player whose stock dropped, undersized lead guard, locker room cancer, that's 3 for 3)
