draft thoughts:

toppin is the definition of “safe”. he’s gonna get numbers, be on an all rookie team, look flashy, etc. this is someone who rose can tell dolan, “hey i hit on that pick”. 100% arse covering, someone who can potentially be the centerpiece of a blockbuster trade
the defense is probably always gonna suck but he’ll give value on his rookie contract, which is something we haven’t been able to say since KP

big fan of the quickley pick. dude lives in the gym and wants to get better, someone who rj will probably get along with very nicely
obviously ++ shooter and probably puts more faith in frank as a point (not the biggest fan of it, but it’s not egregious). definitely expect more playmaking wise from his UK days, but at 25 crying about value is wild to me — jalen smith got taken at fucking 10
LOVE the move for future capital with trading 33. i’ve wanted the knicks to have a 2nds stash for a while now. that’s an aller move so can’t wait to see us have a ton of us after we sell off some players
implications for FA:

juju is 100% gone, to WHERE, will be intriguing

FVV becoming a knick is certainly more possible now (and i’d probably bet on it)

joe harris being a knick gained a ton of steam with the shamet nets trade

a lineup of FVV/Harris/RJ/Toppin/Mitch? not bad
