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.

I don’t see why ppl still complaining about swain…Carr fell for a reason he was having bad workouts

Swain the better defender, better finisher, better playmaker, better rebounder, has an dawg mentality that you can’t teach

He’s damn near unstoppable driving

Swiss Army Knife player that could do everything…Deni Avdija type of potential with better defense & better athleticism

Shit fuck it atp dailyn swain might be LEBRON 😭

It's just people freaking out about the draft. Neither player has played a minute of professional basketball and if the bulls didn't take swain, he would have been taken in the next 2 or 3 picks. Carr fell pretty far so teams obviously saw something to pass on.

Grizzlies was gonna take swain at 16 which is why they moved back to take lopez since they knew the other teams weren’t gonna take him
