porter shot himself in the foot by cancelling workouts and not disclosing medical records. If he really had a 100% clean bill of health why would he do that ?

Even if he comes back 80 to 90% that probably would not be enough to make him worthy of being picked higher than he was. This was a huge gamble by Denver and not a no-brainer. However, he probably represented their best shot as acquiring a superstar at # 14, even if those percentages were low.

I like the Nugs, but first and foremost i am a Knick fan.

I like the Knox pick, it gave the Knicks a nice combination of a player who could help a little this season, has significant upside, and fills a positional need. If the Knicks were a legit playoff contender this season i might have preferred Bridges, but no way that will happen with Porzingus on the sideline for most of the season. Knox is very young and, hopefully, just coming into his own. he supposedly ate up the other Bridges in a workout.

The Knicks #2 pick was very intriguing. Robinson was probably the draft's second biggest mystery player after Porter. All the size, skills, and talent. However, does he have the motivation and dedication ? The second round is where you take that kind of a risk.  The Knicks also signed an Arizona kid with a sweet stroke on a two way deal.

All in all, I like the knicks draft, not sure they could have done much better relative to their draft position. Hindsight is always 100% - see donovon mitchell last year, but with foresight only, I like what they did.
