Draft Recaps, Knicks + Nets

Knicks:

You know, I like Mardy Collins. Yes, he's another guard, but this is a guard who actually passes. That is an important trait in the guy who is bringing the ball up. I would have liked a shooter, so the Knicks can trade Quentin Richardson, but beggars with few draft picks can't be choosers.

But that Renaldo Balkman... if the Suns were going to pick him at 21, then let them. I don't care. Is that the basketball version of penis envy? Come on, man. If he's overvalued, you can find another hustling athletic player with no range and no handle who dominated the NIT but not his (kinda weak SEC) conference. It must be so hard to score against Vanderbilt, huh. His defense is great? Yeah, but you can't play him at middle linebacker and leave him out of the offensive sets. Come on, man. And i believe in Isiah's draft skills.

Nets:

I effing hate U-Conns. Now Jason Kidd has a more reliable backup (I like Jacque Vaughn's game, and if Coach Lawrence Frank had some patience, he'd note that he has some players on his bench in Planinic and Padgett and maybe Antoine Wright) and he can get a backup laptop on the cheap! Marcus Williams knows where to get the deals!

Josh Boone is Jason Collins with less skill. Okay, more shot blocking skill. But nothing else. His grimaces look like a man who knows he isn't that good and is trying real hard to project intensity. An actual intense person would have obliterated University of Albany's offense in the first half. Or rebounded better against George Mason. Albany? George Mason? How the hell is this man going to handle Ben Wallace and Jermaine O'Neal? With his mean mug? O-ver-rated.
