Normally Stephen A. Smith's Knicks rants are full of negativity.

Not this time.

The ESPN personality could barely contain his excitement talking about the Knicks offseason moves thus far.

Acquiring Mikal Bridges from the Nets and signing OG Anunoby to a five-year deal has Stephen A. jacked up.

The Lakers got one of the better scorers in the Draft.

Dalton Knecht seems like an all-around good fit for the Lakers and even more now that he revealed he's modeled his game off their new coach, JJ Redick.

His statline (18.5 points; 9 rebounds; 3.9 assists per game) suggests he can do it all. Scheierman’s likely to capture a supportive role for Boston and could develop into a starter early in his pro career.

What feels like a boom-or-bust pick, Collier was once considered the top player in the class. Some turnover concerns account for his slide in pre-draft rankings, but his scoring prowess (16.3 points-per-game) could translate into serious potential at the NBA level.

Dunn’s the definition of defensive disruptor with 2.3 blocks and 1.3 steals per game last season. He did improve offensively in his sophomore year with 8.1 points per game, up from 2.6 his freshman season. If he continues to develop on offense, the Suns could have a real gem here.

He has significant scoring potential after averaging 23 points last season, good for third in the NCAA. Why wasn’t he selected earlier? Teams could have been shy to make the pick after Shannon Jr. was found not guilty of a felony rape charge and aggravated sexual assault earlier this month.

Jones had an impressive career ascension at Weber State where he averaged 20.8 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists last season. The Knicks traded pick No. 26 to the Thunder for five second round picks that span from 2025 to 2027.

A French forward with good size (6'8"), Dadiet was initially projected to be a second-round pick. He has the ability to hit shots from just about anywhere on the court, but should be viewed more as a raw talent. Luckily the Knicks can afford to wait for Dadiet to develop at the NBA level.

The Knicks traded No. 24 to Washington for No. 26 and No. 51. The Wizards selected Kyshawn George, whose stats won’t blow you away, but George (6’7”, 209 pounds) has good size for a guard. If he can bump his scoring (7.6 points per game), he could develop into an oversized playmaker at the position.

A bit of an "off the board" pick here. Johnson's a 6-foot-5 guard that opted to play in Australia over the NCAA. He projects more as a playmaker that can also be a shutdown defender.

A sneaky selection that can score from Day 1 in the NBA. Holmes II had 20.4 points per game and 8.5 rebounds for Dayton. He can also knock down 3-pointers, making him a high-ceiling offense player.

One of the more raw talents in the draft. Missi has size (6’11”), giving him excellent shot-blocking ability. His 10.7 points per game won’t wow anyone, but his potential could flourish with time to develop.
