The most interesting pick in tomorrow's NBA's draft for me will the Knicks at number four. I would think they would really want Russell, but if he goes to Philly I don't know what direction they go. Very possible they trade down.

I'm not a big Knicks fan, but about a year ago I looked at their draft history. I'm not sure which team has done worst between the Clippers and Knicks. I looked at every pick since 1988 and it was very dismal results. I wish I still had that list somewhere. Bust after bust. As you point out about the only players that turned out to be good are now playing on other teams. This would mostly explain the lack of making the playoffs. But 25 years is a long time and one would think you could just be lucky and pick someone that becomes a star once in awhile.

With someone like Phil Jackson leading the way I would think the streak of bad picks is over. But if they follow the pattern lately I could see them trading the pick and selecting another Euro flop.
