Decompression, Part 1: A look at what happened on draft night 2022 for the Knicks
The NBA Draft took place exactly one week ago, with the Knicks making so many moves that it felt like it took seven days just to sort through them. So what did the Knicks get? How can those assets help them going forward? How useful are those protected picks? Prez tackles all that and more.
Disrespectful (but helpful) Draft Comps: 2022 Draft Class
It’s that time of year again, for the most disrespectful (and in some cases, respectful!) of player comparisons for the NBA Draft prospects. Welcome back to the roast, hosted by Prez.
2022 NBA Draft Profile: MarJon Beauchamp
A do-it-all wing who’s had a circuitous route to the NBA Draft, is there more to MarJon Beauchamp’s game than meets the eye from his one G League Ignite season?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Jalen Williams
What if the Knicks could draft a wing who’s good at pretty much everything on offense and has an otherworldly wingspan at pick 11? Why would he even be available there?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Jaden Hardy
A great shooter, but undersized and not profiling as a great defender, Jaden Hardy has a good foundation if he can unlock other aspects of offense. But can he get there?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Jeremy Sochan
A do-it-all player at Baylor who didn’t quite show elite ability at any one skill, could Jeremy Sochan provide the Knicks with one of the most intriguing balls of clay in the draft?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Johnny Davis
Tasked with doing everything at Wisconsin on both ends, Johnny Davis was hampered by injuries down the stretch of this past season. In a better context, could he be a steal for the Knicks at 11?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Jalen Duren
With Mitchell Robinson’s future in flux, could spending the 11th pick on one of the best centers in the class be a prudent move for the Knicks, or a wasted opportunity in a wing-driven league?
Johnny Davis vs. Malaki Branham: Efficiency, usage, and questions without answers
Two of the best scorers potentially available at the Knicks’ range in the draft, Johnny Davis and Malaki Branham present an interesting conundrum: how much should degree of difficulty and volume be valued from one prospect in the face of overwhelming efficiency from another?
Ousmane Dieng: Project or Prototype?
A 6-foot-10 prospect with tantalizing skills and a too-skinny frame, is Ousmane Dieng a project, or is he a player that has it all minus the pro body at this point? And should he be the pick for the Knicks at 11?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Tari Eason
A versatile big wing who did himself a lot of favors at the NBA Draft Combine, could Tari Eason give the Knicks a solid two-way player at the 11th pick?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Shaedon Sharpe
A “mystery man” only to those that aren’t familiar with his rise in high school, could Shaedon Sharpe present the most intriguing star bet in the 2022 draft class?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Jaden Ivey
Perhaps the most electric player in the 2022 NBA Draft, could Jaden Ivey give the Knicks the explosive guard they’ve sorely missed for decades?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: AJ Griffin
Equipped with a Day 1 NBA body and a wet jumper, can AJ Griffin overcome a robust injury history and subpar interior game on the Knicks?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Dyson Daniels
Perhaps the best defender in the draft, could the lengthy Dyson Daniels give the Knicks the solution they’ve needed at point guard for years, or is he simply going to be a lockdown NBA defender?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Chet Holmgren
Generally considered the consensus top pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, could the mold-breaking big Chet Holmgren give the Knicks a game-changer if they move up in the draft lottery?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Paolo Banchero
A big wing with top pick pedigree, could Paolo Banchero be the prize waiting for the Knicks if they move up in the lottery?
Analyzing five top 2022 NBA Draft prospects and their Knicks fit
The Knicks have been bad lately, but probably not bad enough to crack the top five if their lottery luck (or lack thereof) over the years says anything. Still, it’s worth previewing the very best prospects of 2022!
Breaking down the Knicks’ issues with screen defense
The Knicks’ defense clearly hasn’t been the same this year compared to last year. One culprit? Screen defense. Prez heads to the tape to break down the Knicks’ woes.
Raptors 120, Knicks 105: Empty as the Scotiabank Arena
The Knicks, missing a gigantic chunk of their roster (both number of players missing and size of players missing) ran into something not even Toronto fans have seen for a while: a fully operational Raptors team, who had Thibs waving the white flag by the fourth quarter.
