[Ian Begley] Mikal Bridges: “Very excited to play at the Garden. Kind of thought I’d be here in 2018, that No. 9 (draft pick).” Bridges adds that he’s looking forward to playing in front of the fans at MSG.

Shoutout Kevin Knox
NGL im excited he’s on the team.
Me too Mikal, me too
There’s 5 players on the team from the 2018 draft. All drafted after Kevin Knox and they’re all better than him.
Right there with you dawg

Just wanna say sorry, Mikal, for the incompetence of our FO at the time. We, the fans, wanted to draft you, but our FO thought the fortnite King Kevin Knox was the answer.
Lmao he still remembers, as do we Mikal, as do we.
And they drafted Koffing at 9 instead.
Yup I remember this draft like yesterday. I remember specifically saying, “Draft MPJ, who cares if he’s hurt rn we’re still years away from being good. If not him then draft Bridges, he looks solid with great defense and size!” Only to end up with Knox..
what if we drafted him and stunk? Maybe we don’t have the core-4 of Nova boys in 2024
FO should have taken one look at Knox’s big ol forehead and said, NOPE
We all make mistakes that’s why pencils have erasers
did we win any fortnite tournaments though?
It’s probably a good thing we didn’t draft him since we have a terrible track record of developing players

I fucking HATED the Kevin Knox pick! But at least he was fun to watch in the Summer League 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry man, had to draft another project player to a team known for failing to develop project players.
If we drafted Mikal instead of Knox the Front Office would have blew it and traded Mikal to OKC for another run with Raymond Felton and a Footlong Jersey Mikes Club Sub for him on the plane ride here.
Bro we’ve fucked up so many of these draft picks.
If I had a nickel for every time a player said they thought they’d be a Knick after draft night, I would have a ton of nickels.
“Thought I’d be here at 9”
Thats not how we do things around here lol
Love this guy!
I knew as soon as we drafted Kevin Knox that he was soft just by his facial expression all the time.
Our home record this season is gonna be CRAZY
>Kind of thought I’d be here in 2018, that No. 9 (draft pick).
Damn, he had to remind us of that…..
Honestly, he could’ve wanted to leave the Knicks if we drafted him then just because we didn’t have the best management in place yet, who knows
