About that draft pick

And, to the Knicks….

Iman Shumpert of Georgia Tech.

Cue the moaning and booing fans.

I guess at pick no. 17, we shouldn’t care. But Iman Shumpert was a player most scouts and draft watchers had falling to the second round.

And they passed on Chris Singleton, who the same scouts view as a lock-down defender.

Shumpert is also supposed to be a good defender, so maybe this is just a lot of unnecessary jabbering.

But this is the Knicks, a team that has proven that when a mistake can be made it will be made.
