More Draft Buzz

The latest rumor has the New York Knicks interested in moving up to No. 5 in order to take one of the many players they reportedly covet -- Stephen Curry, Jordan Hill or Jrue Holiday. According to NBAdraft.net, the Knicks have offered guard Wilson Chandler as part of a package to move up. The report also states that the Knicks might be able to add the No. 5 pick without sacrificing the eight pick, which I find a bit implausible. Chandler is a decent player -- the 6-foot-8, soon-to-be third year swingman averaged 14.4 points and 5.4 rebounds in Mike D'Antoni's high octane offense last year -- but no way is he worth the fifth pick straight up. Especially not after recently having surgery to remove bone spurs from his left ankle. Minnesota is also reportedly trying to acquire another high first-round pick -- the Timberwolves already own three first (link)
