Not worth trading a late 1st for at all. Inefficient, turnover prone and both his ball handling and defensive skills are massively overrated. Additionally he only has one year left on his rookie deal, so after that he becomes more expensive whereas the 20th pick is someone you're paying 1-2M for per year for the next 4 years.
I remember a time where a lot of Raps fans wanted to trade DeMar for this guy, yikes.
Why don't we just draft Kyle Anderson instead?
He's a better ball handler, is 6-7, has a decent shot, and makes smart plays.
He seems like a good locker room guy, and doesn't bring the NY locker room baggage that Shumpert does.

I agree with your assessment to some degree, but it's pretty hilarious considering your username.
He's not a bad player. He actually had a really high ceiling before tearing his acl. He's an decent defender, can hit 3's, can play pg. Too bad he's buried on the bench as the Knicks have Melo, JR, and now Tim Hardaway jr. But he's not worth the 20th pick atm.
We already have a similar player though in Ross (except playing pg part), so no thanks. He could take Salmons place though lol.
