2018 NBA Draft: Could Trae Young fall to the New York Knicks?

Young has ridden a roller coaster of a college career. After winning over fans and national media pundits with absurd scoring outputs, the second half of his season was plagued with losses and inconsistency.

His decline in production during the back end of the 2017-18 season led to a plummet on draft boards, as he had once been considered a potential top-three pick.

A talented playmaker and an excellent shooter, Young could potentially accelerate the New York Knicks’ rebuild with his Curry-like game. Unfortunately for New York, this uncommon set of skills is likely to be desired by clubs currently on similar timelines who hold higher draft picks.
