Spurs picks vs. Knicks picks
So the Spurs picked some guy (Nikola Milutinov) last night that you’ve never heard of and it barely made the news in San Antonio. The fans just figure Pops has everything under control and this is just another foreign guy who’ll have a long productive career. Meanwhile, in New York, fans are losing their minds over the team drafting Kristaps Porzingis. Screamin’ A., predictably, went nuts on Twitter. Did you really think he’d stay on vacation during the NBA Draft? Seemed like a setup, right? Knicks fans say they “can’t wait” for a guy to develop into a big time contributor because Carmelo is about to be history. Folks, the Knicks aren’t winning a title with Carmelo on the roster. You’re rebuilding. Think like the Spurs for a second. You’re like 3-4 foreigners away from being an East contender.
