Are they saying Daniel’s is like a cross between Haliburton and Middleton? Those guys aren’t really similar enough for a comparison, IMO.

I want Detroit to take Ivey. I wouldn’t worry nobody wants the knicks trash. Never ceases to amaze me how much people fall for all these pre draft faux rumors. Some people just get off on insider info regardless of its consistent track record of being fabricated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just get off on insider info regardless of its consistent track record of being fabricated The draft is the smoke screen game but there have been a ton of reports about the Kings potentially trading their pick and looking to compete for a playoff berth. The Knicks being infatuated with Jaden Ivey also seems to have some legs considering how they've consistently been linked to Donovan Mitchell. ETA: We also have to remember that the Kings have a special way of doing things, lol. Edited May 28, 2022 by NYRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what he accomplishes by going back to school. He needs an NBA S&C program, not another year playing with teenagers. Could be legitimate value for a team in the 20s or he could flame out like many do. Risk worth taking for those teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had entered the transfer portal and the draft, wasn't going back to UWM but could've improved his stock elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or completely tanked it by choosing the wrong program. Nothing he can't do in the G League, while working on his body, that he would've done at another school.

But he already chose the wrong program once so it is probably best he declares and I think someone will take him in the late 1st although his combine numbers were god awful.

Which is why he needs a professional program and not another year in a college one. His limitations are physical, not skill. My guess is he did the absolute bare minimum at UWM lol. Makes you question his work ethic and whether he wants it but it wouldn't be the first time we've seen a player like him. The 2nd round might actually be better for him. Shorter contract, so if he comes out and the space of the NBA game opens up his game, he gets to a bigger contract faster. He goes to any of the teams in the 20s, he's in a good situation.

Which is why he should've went to a better program to begin with instead of going to play for his dad. I mean if he did the bare minimum with his dad on the hotseat, that's a red flag. And if he's someone that lacks work ethic I don't think that a non-guaranteed contract and playing in the G-League is ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to a better program doesn't guarantee anything either. He'll be as successful as he chooses to be. Go pro, get your money. If the NBA doesn't work out, he'll make bank overseas. If he wasn't going to land a good NIL deal in the portal, no reason to delay his pro clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
