John Schmeelk's Live NBA Draft Blog & Recap
During my drive home I did a lot of thinking, talked to a lot of my Knicks fan friends, and tried to get in a positive frame of mind about the Knicks draft. It didn’t work. I’m even more irritated now than when I left MSG. This draft was an utter disaster.
