    Oka-Forget About Him: The 2015 Redraft Turns the First Round Upside Down

    It’s shocking how different the 2015 NBA Draft looks not even three full seasons later. Not that long before the draft, there was a legitimate dialogue being held about whether Jahlil Okafor or Karl-Anthony towns should be picked first. Now Okafor has been traded for pennies on the dollar and Towns is a franchise building block. A lot else has changed from one through 30. 1. Minnesota Timberwolves select Karl-Anthony Towns Towns has been a major disappointment this season. Wi

    Kristaps Porzingis Looks to Have Made the Leap

    Through ten games this season, Kristaps Porzingis is averaging 30 points per game. Only Giannis Antetokounmpo and his 31.9 points per game is higher. Heading into this new season, we all expected Porzingis to improve on the scoring end. But to improve to this extent was hard to see. At times in this early season, Porzingis has seemed impossible to guard. How did this happen so quickly? Can it be sustained? And where is the ceiling now? It’s like Kevin Garnett once said: anyth

    The Three Biggest Surprises of the New York Knicks' Season

    With nine games played so far, the New York Knicks actually have a winning record. This was supposed to be a down year for the team following the trade that sent Carmelo Anthony out of New York. Instead, New York is thriving behind Kristaps Porzingis' play, which has been nothing short of spectacular. Through the Knicks' 5-4 start, Porzingis has averaged over 30 points. While many expected his usage, and therefore his points also, to go up, few could have expected such an e

    The New York Knicks Look Like a Competent Basketball Team

    The NBA season is barely two weeks old. The sample size is small, but at the current moment, the New York Knicks look like a competent basketball team. A team that may actually be competitive in the Eastern Conference playoff race as opposed to the race for a top five draft Pick. When Phil Jackson decided to publicly denounce Carmelo Anthony effectively diminishing all trade value, the new Knicks front office was left with their hands tied behind their back. The task was to f

    The Uncertain Future of Kristaps Porzingis

    Kristaps Porzingis is the shining light on a franchise that has been run on disorder for years. Being run without an identity and failing to compete for the the better part of 15 years. Knicks fans have had to put up with a lot, but the draft pick of Porzingis seemed to be a turning point for a better, brighter future. Or so we thought. Porzingis was asked the other day by the New York Daily News if he still wants to see changes before signing on with the Knicks long-term. “Y

    Why Kristaps Porzingis Should Be Irate

    It is clear through promotional tools and by the words of New York Knicks President of Basketball Operations Steve Mills that Kristaps Porzingis is the face of the organization. Porzingis was drafted with the fourth pick just two years ago and has proven to be a potential generational talent after two very promising seasons with the Knicks. Despite all of that, the team has mistreated and downright disrespected their prized unicorn. First, it was the trade rumors that swirled

    The State of the Knicks

    It is business as usual this offseason at Madison Square Garden. The New York Knicks front office is having problems with its star player and the team is alienating its prized 21-year-old "unicorn." Yup, business as usual. Phil Jackson publicly commented on Carmelo Anthony's tendency to hold the basketball and stifle ball movement in December. The team was 17-13 and was a top four seed in the Eastern Conference. Following his comments, the Knicks spiraled and finished the sea

    Denver’s Unicorn

    Nikola Jokic has been incredible for the Denver Nuggets this season. The team is now two games up on the Portland Trail Blazers for the eighth seed. And a key reason for this is Mike Malone’s change in philosophy . After a slow start the Nuggets elected to run the offense through Jokic and the results speak for themself. In November of this year, Jokic was averaging 8.6 ppg, 6.2 rpg, and 3 apg. Then a light clicked in Mike Malone’s head. The very next month Jokic averaged 17

    Kristaps Porzingis: Year 2

    As many NBA players have in the past, Kristaps Porzingis has made great strides in his second season. The Knicks find themselves at 15-13 and in the thick of the Eastern Conference Playoff race in large part because of Porzingis’s improvements. Perhaps Kristap’s greatest improvement has been his ability to stay on the floor longer than his rookie season. Prior to coming into the NBA, Porzingis was playing professionally in Europe. In Europe his team played just 34 games a sea

    The Next Generation of All-Stars

    A look at the next group of NBA All-Stars. Karl Anthony Towns, Andrew Wiggins and all of the Timberwolves I'm extremely high on the combination of KAT, Wiggins, Ricky Rubio, Zach LaVine, Kris Dunn and Shabazz Muhammad. Now under the helm of Tom Thibodeau, expect the obvious, and see this team defend like madmen. Mixed with athleticism, skill, ability and talent, how can one not feel as though these ‘Young Wolves’ are on the verge of taking over the NBA. With back to back Rook
