Scott Bordow: Also, I asked Mikal Bridges about that video from a week or so ago in which he seemed to have an extreme hitch in his shot. He said that wasn’t his game shot, that he was shooting after a long, hard practice and not worried about how fast he was getting the shot up
The easiest call on the board: Phoenix acquiring a point guard, either in free agency (Fred VanVleet is a name to watch) or via trade. The problem for Phoenix is that its best assets — Booker, Deandre Ayton, Mikal Bridges — are untouchable and its young big men (Dragan Bender, Marquese Chriss) have limited trade value. Chriss was available on draft night, per league sources.
Knox’s high upside is ultimately why the Knicks chose the 6-foot-9 combo forward as the second-youngest player in the draft, edging Mikal Bridges in the team’s eyes with a late charge. “The kid wants to be great,” Payne said. “The kid is very, very talented. The league is going to players like him.”

Derek Bodner: Brett Brown on the Bridges/Smith trade: “To have an unprotected first-round draft pick is gold. To be able to use that to instigate a trade is gold.”
