    Awesome! Really nice after the media gave Jackson all kinds of flack for the pick, too. Great to see good fundamental basketball.

    Glad someone dropped him in my fantasy basketball league, and I scooped him up. On the other hand, I drafted Unibrow in an auction league, and paid a lot...

    Any apology from Stephen A Smith, yet?

    Thanks to Jeremy Lin being on the Hornets and them playing the Knicks, Tinman learnt about a new NBA player.

    How is his defense? With Melo at 4 and him at 5, I imagine no team would have better spacing.

    Why did Dragic go to Miami, sigh...he would kill it with a player like Porzingis.

    Dragic would also be an upgrade over Calderon, I think.

    Nope. Dude is straight up racist to non-black players. He'll admit it next season probably though.

    Lakers are a joke to not have taken this guy or Okafor.

    He has that Yao hype with Knick fans. Well deserved. He's very skilled. After years of misery, knicks are going to be good in a couple of years.

    Stephen A is probably wishing he didn't say that.

    I was totally wrong about him. The kid plays with a very confident edge and doesn't avoid contact. Hope his body holds up.

    Considering how many stupid things Stephen A has said in his career i'm sure he's not losing any sleep over this one.

    That move is more Yao like IMO. Dream's was even faster.

    The guy has more range than Yao, shooting 3s like it is nothing, for a 7 foot 3.

    When he perfects his post moves, watch out. He could be the best rookie from that class.

    And Melo didn't like the guy.....he is going to be really good. Probably who the Knicks build around they got a true keeper.

    I'm rooting for this kid. I like his game. I hope he proves all the boo'ers absolutely wrong.
