June 14, 2008 The Knicks entertained Danilo Gallinari and Anthony Randolph in workouts on Friday. "That'd be perfect. That'd be great," Randolph tells the New York Post about the possibility of being picked by the Knicks.
Our View:Gallinari and Randolph are two of the more popular picks at the Knicks' No. 6 spot in mock drafts. The club would love to land one of the top guards (Derrick Rose, O.J. Mayo, or Jerryd Bayless), but they'll likely need to trade up to do so.
June 12, 2008 Shooting guard O.J. Mayo will work out for the Knicks on Thursday, the New York Post reports. The Knicks own the No. 6 pick in this summer's draft.
Our View:This is likely just a due diligence workout, as there's no reason to believe Mayo will slide outside the top three. The Knicks do seem to be spending a lot of time looking at guards, which makes one wonder about the future of Stephon Marbury, Jamal Crawford, and Nate Robinson.
June 10, 2008 The Knicks brought in guards Jerryd Bayless and Eric Gordon for workouts on Tuesday, the New York Post reports. "I have all the tools," head coach Mike D'Antoni informs Bayless. "I just need an engine to run it." The Knicks own the No. 6 pick in the June draft.
Our View:Bayless could be a wonderful fit for D'Antoni's system, but the Arizona guard is not expected to be available at the No. 6 spot. Gordon could still be around, and the former Indiana star might also thrive in a run-and-shoot system. We're not sure how Gordon would fit alongside Jamal Crawford, though.
