Jimmer Fredette and how he fits in the NBA divides scouts and fans, but there is one thing almost all agree on — he’s a better fit in a wide-open offensive system where he would have more of a green light.

For example, Mike D’Antoni’s system with the New York Knicks.

Which explains why ESPN’s Chad Ford is reporting (behind ESPN’s pay wall) the Knicks are trying to move up in the draft to see if they can get Jimmer.

Sources say that the Charlotte Bobcats (9), Milwaukee Bucks (10) and Golden State Warriors (11) are also open to moving their picks. In this case the interest is all pretty specific. The Knicks, and a handful of other teams, are trying to get ahead of the Jazz. The target? BYU’s Jimmer Fredette.

Interesting, but the Knicks are not exactly loaded with trade assets (those all went to Denver to get Carmelo Anthony, thank you very much James Dolan). Can Landry Fields and the No.17 pick move you up seven spots or so?

Is that worth it to get Jimmer? There is no way Jimmer falls to 17. There are a lot of teams willing to move picks in this draft but not a lot of teams willing to give up quality assets to move up. At least not yet.

Now I know this is just a rumor and unlikey to happen but if we could do a trade like that for the 9th, I would be so happy. Look at what this draft could become with a trade like that.

9. Landry Fields

17. Marshon Brooks

19. Jordan Hamilton

39. Keith Benson

I honestly cant imagine a better scenario but I realize this probably has little chance of happening.

I might even do 9 and 19 for Fields and 17 ( Knicks might have to throw something else in too).

I think it's more likely to happen then one would initially think. Silas and the Cats like this drafts depth rather then individual talents.... (reason why they turned down the move up 2 - 1 swap, but reverse that and give the bobcats a player and let them keep 2 first round picks.... I don't think they turn that down.

NY would do it because he doesn't really fit the team at this point and it would allow them to get a player that should fit into NY's system perfectly.

I know, think about how much more talented this team will be if we have Fields at SF and then add two more first round talents. And in this draft the guy you get at 9 and the guy you get at 17 arent too different.

I honestly dont think you cant get a guy as good as Fields at 9 plus we get a first rounder.

I would go wild if this did happen.

would be very happy but I highly doubt the Knicks would risk that, they don't really need Fredette and Fields spot up shooting helps out a lot on their squad. They would much rather get a distributing pg who can get the ball to Amare and Melo, as well as run in D'Antoni's offense much like Nash did

In my opinion the Knicks need to get rid of D'Antoni and pull out all stops for Chris Paul. Trading away a piece like Landry Fields for a huge risk like Fredette just doesn't make much sense to me

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Did we take over a thread about who you'd take #1 by having a debate on who you'd take #1? Basically you still don't want to answer my question, probably because your answer would be either T-Mac like myself, or Hunter, which taking a CB #1 overall is even crazier on the surface than what you're saying I'm stupid for in wanting a WR there. As I've said before, it's a season without a traditional clear top pick(s).  It would be great if we could trade back if we got #1, but if not, there's nothing wrong with taking a truly elite WR and build out our roster correctly for once instead of always trying to find the quick fix and it backfiring.

      I just thought of an interesting comparison for what I'm arguing with taking T-Mac and how to build up to hopefully being a contender. The mid 2000's Arizona Cardinals In 2003 they took Anquan Boldin early in the 2nd, kinda a decent comp for Legette with style of play and being more of an elite #2 than a true outside #1 (they also took a WR in the 1st too who didn't pan out). In 2004 they took Larry Fitzgerald #3 overall, the true outside #1. Their QB's at the time, Jeff Blake and Josh McCown The QB they passed on to take Fizgerald, Philip Rivers. They were in the Super Bowl a few years later after they found their QB in Warner to slot into an already built out roster of elite weapons. Cam, you asked how it would look if we passed on a QB who pans out for a WR, well, do you think the Cardinals regret taking Fitz over Rivers?  I highly doubt it. Our roster is more than one offseason away from contending.  I'm not looking for the quick fix because there isn't one with the state of this franchise at the moment, I'm looking to contend for a decade. I don't think a QB in this draft class is good enough to take 1st overall with everything else we still need.  My next preference would be an elite pass rusher, but again, I don't see one of them in this draft either. My personal bias aside, I very honestly think T-Mac is the most can't miss offensive prospect in this draft (Hunter would be that on defense).  He is the WR we've been trying to get since we lost Smitty.   Brooks, T-Mac, Legette, Coker/FA, Sanders would have the potential to be one of the best offensive weapon sets in the NFL.  Sure, hopefully we could hit on a superstar QB in the next draft, but even if not, if those guys pan out, with them all are in their prime together, we wouldn't need a Mahomes or Allen to contend, we'd only need to find our Jared Goff. and spend all our FA money the next couple offseason on Defense.

      Chase Daniels breaks down Bryce vs DEN

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      Competent QBs can read defenses presnap, see where their best matchups are and already know where they're going with the ball. Then have good footwork with fast fundamentally sound dropbacks. See the field well and decisive with their decisions on where to go with the ball. And an NFL caliber arm, get the ball out quickly and deliver it with velocity. Bryce can do none of these things.
