I don't know if it is necessarily that people thinks he sucks.  I think the issue is that the Knicks have a legitimate superstar that they haven't had the likes of since Ewing.  They only have a few more years to capitalize on having a player of his caliber.  You have a lot of ammo with the fourth pick in a draft that you can use to make the team immediately better but they pretty much opted to go for a draft pick who most people believe won't reach his potential until Melo is on the down-swing of his career and NYK contract.  That's not gonna help to make them a championship contender.

Essentially you have a front office that:

1 - Tells the media and their fans that they want to win immediately;
2 - Tells their biggest superstar that they want to win immediately to get him to sign;
3 - Then uses a great draft position to select a player who likely won't prove his worth for at least three years.

I think it's a legitimate gripe and I think it's a sign that the Knicks front office still lacks a clear vision and/or idea on how to bring their vision to fruition.

Like most people, I have only seen KP highlights and have listened to talking heads to learn about him.  I definitely think he sounds worthy of a lotto pick.  I just don't think he's the right lotto pick for what the Knicks are saying they're trying to do.
