And if we want a player that will impact our team NOW, then we gotta go with Russell. Bigs take time to develop, and if Melo is our star, then we don't have much of it.

Yung Mase would be hilarious on there. I'd love to see him there and win it for us.just lurked the Lakers thread, figured i'd bring it here:

I mean that is fair enough for you to say that but that is MY list, and personally I think Russell is a stud who very well could turn out to be the best player in this draft, especially on this team where he fits the triangle offense excellent and would step in as our franchise PG and an excellent secondary perimeter scoring option, both major need areas. I think having Melo already on the team as well as $ to spend on an established post presence as well as Derek Fisher as coach would all do wonders to Russell's development as well and makes him the right pick for us. He has the kind of swagger where he would not be intimidated by coming in and playing with big name stars right away. Quite the contrary IMO. Russell is the kind of player who would come in and be a leader on this team from the moment he steps on the floor. He would be able to get out there and make guys like Melo and maybe even Marc Gasol better players, and take control of the offense the way you want your franchise PG to do all while getting buckets for himself from Day 1. He is a good enough floor general and a good enough PG and a good enough leader and a good enough teammate and a good enough scorer to do all of that. I think if the Knicks drafted Russell he would win ROY and have a lot of room to grow from there, and that is why I want him on the Knicks.GR8 you are overvaluing russell a little much... hes a good player but not great... knicks should only draft him if they get the 3rd pick and you can make the argument mudiay is up there also
