If I’m Donnie Walsh, I’m taking…

New York Knicks
Unless the Knicks find some way of be in position to draft either O.J. Mayo or Derrick Rose, the Knicks need to demonstrate their desire to really rebuild the team and draft Anthony Randolph because if the goal is to truly secure Lebron James services in 2010, then the Knicks need to add complimentary players… NOW! I know several mock drafts have the Knicks selecting Russell Westbrook or Jerryd Bayless. However, last time I checked, the Knicks’ roster is full of under-sized shooting guards who can’t play the point. So why draft another one??? Or some people say they should look into Danilo Gallinari. Need I remind you all of the success rate of the European big man in the NBA???? Besides Dirk, I am hard pressed to name even one guy who’s become an impact player (Donny-Darko anyone?) And the one guy who does come to mind — Vlade Divac — is retired. Other than Michael Beasley, no other big man has as much potential as Randolph, and he can do one thing that every other Knick big man has trouble doing– playing above the rim. This certainly wouldn’t be the most popular pick, but I think in the long run it will be the best one for the franchise’s future.
