With the preface of an apology for reminding you of this disappointing news, the New York Knicks fell to No. 4 in the 2015 NBA Draft. Thus, landing either Jahlil Okafor or Karl-Anthony Towns appears to be out of the question.
Fortunately, either Emmanuel Mudiay or D’Angelo Russell will be on the board. Both have intriguing upside and both would be prime candidates to be selected at No. 4.
According to Ian Begley of ESPN New York, New York has its preference: Russell.
The Knicks, like most other lottery teams, watched Russell closely during the season.
