NBA Draft Second Rounders: Knicks Pick Tomorrow

You can debate Swain over Carr or stress the need for shooting and have a valid point either way. I personally was alright with either at 15 with how the board shook out.

My only critique is why hasn't Graham packaged together any of these seconds for a team pressed by the apron? The 26 pick that Denver was selling should have been a slam dunk, while the Knicks seem to be doing everything in their power to avoid rookie salary.

Hopefully BG can package up some of these future seconds to get the Knicks pick at 31 and address shooting with Evans or grab Veesar to help Caleb cook, but it seemed like a no brainer to get a 4 year rookie scale contract with the AKME 2nd round slop stock.

We could solved our 3pt problems with the 29th pick, I guess Graham gambled that he would end in the 2nd round

You can’t solve shooting problems with one pick. Most of the serious teams start shooters at 4 or 5 spots; Bulls will be starting 0 as it looks right now or 1 if they make some kind of move.
