00:00We have the draft. Jack Cale, Tyler Nichol, they're your two new Knicks.
00:04Thoughts on the picks and thoughts on the Knicks draft as an overall,
00:09because there's a lot of discourse on the internet on people liking and not liking what they did.
00:16Yeah, I think anytime you have a draft under this regime, or at least history shows us a draft under
00:22this regime,
00:23it's never about draft night itself only. It's always about what it means for down the road.
00:29So in this instance, the Knicks obviously went into the draft with one late first round pick,
00:35and then a couple of seconds, and they parlayed that into, I think it's the grand total is five future
00:42second round picks.
00:43So that part of it's good. And then the other part of it is, you know,
00:47we're obviously talking a lot about second aprons and what that means for their impending free agents.
00:52I think you look at the fact that they took two kids in the second round,
00:56who I would assume they will be able to sign to bare minimum deals that will save them additional dollars,
01:04again, as they try to resign at least one of Landry Schammett or Mitchell Robinson.
01:09As for the players themselves that they took, I mean, look, anytime you could get a shooter
01:13who people are talking about is potentially the best shooter in the draft,
01:17which this nickel kid seems like he might be in contention for that title.
01:20And then as far as the kid from Germany, like, look, Sam Vecini of the athletic described him
01:25as a jack of all trades, master of none, played in obviously a high level league across the pond
01:32and did a lot of winning over there. Imperfect player.
01:36But I think if you're gonna, you know, take a shot on a combo guard,
01:40he seems to be, you know, worth the price of admission.
