Maxi is a Klutch guy. He would have left us
Sweet, looks like he is very fast, Amazing at the break, can create his own shot, good 3pt shooter and FT shooter, quick defender. Only real weakness is strength and he’s not elite at creating for others but Lonzo will make up for that. I could actually seeing a double PG back court working with them and having them both start in the future.
He's not a supernaturally good passer but he is perfectly fine at it, and he's better than Lonzo in the halfcourt because he actually pressures defenses.
Strength is an issue but he's so young for a sophomore, it's perfectly normal for guys in his position to need to add core strength, and that will improve his mediocre finishing.
Denver is targeting Zeke Nnaji at No. 22, source tells ESPN.

Wow, that's a high pick for Nnaji!
Nnaji is good, I like him quite a bit but he's a huge ''if he shoots'' guy. Very mobile big, fairly smooth laterally, okay enough on defense. Quite soft. I had him in the second round, but if he does shoot he can be fine.
Here's my pick: Bolmaro. Pels do not want this many young players physically here, and he can ball.
I liked RJ Hampton at 13, so if we could get him at 24 that would be sick!!
Who's NY gonna whiff on?
Yeah but the difference is that Kira is several years younger than the others and still actually drives. Lonzo is 6'6 and strong with explosion but can't finish cause he's a coward and he's scared of driving and he can't shoot FTs.
Kira is 19 as a sophomore but he does drive a decent amount and he's an 80% FT shooter so with core strength additions it's easy to imagine him being a decent enough finisher, even if he's not great at it, and he attacks with his speed to create advantages.
Knicks draft Hampton or Riller you cowards.
Just talked to Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton on the phone. Asked him what he'd say to those who point out Patrick Williams didn't start games: "He finished them."

That's a really great quote from PatWill's ex-coach.
Kira was one of the holes in my draft research this year so I'm having a hard time getting excited. All I know is he's small and fast. Anyone particularly excited about him?
The Knicks are targeting Leandro Bolmaro at No. 23, source tells ESPN. New York selected Obi Toppin at No. 8.

THE KNICKS DID SOMETHING GOOD
Come on Bucks take the player with most upside here in RJ Hampton PLEASE!!
I like him! He ran a successful, good SEC offense at 17 years old in his freshman year. Improved a lot as a shooter in his second year, shows pullup ability. Needs to add weight and core strength to improve his finishing, but he's willing to use his speed to pressure defenses. Again, needs to add strength, but a really promising defensive prospect who hustles hard, recovers well, and shows good instincts.
Damn I liked Bolmaro but if the Knicks drafted him he must suck.
NY Trading Bolmaro to Minnesota for 2 later picks.
Expecting weirdness here.
