He has Curry going to Golden State at 7 and Hill going to the Knicks at 8. Jennings falls to the Pacers at 13. His Knicks’ analysis:
Analysis: The Knicks will be disappointed if Curry is off the board, but the truth is that they have needs everywhere.
If they draft for the frontcourt, Hill is probably the guy. With David Lee hitting (restricted) free agency this summer, Hill would be a perfect fit for New York at the 4. But don’t count out one sleeper here: Ohio State’s B.J. Mullens. His combination of size and athleticism is tempting. He’s far from ready, but the Knicks need a big man and they are intrigued.
If drafting for point guard, the Knicks would have to decide between experience and upside. Flynn has the ability to come in and play right away in New York. Jennings has more long-term upside. I think Jennings’ playing a year in Italy will make him intriguing to Mike D’Antoni, but Flynn is more of a pure point guard right now and that’s what the Knicks need.
