2022 NBA Draft: Who we took for the Knicks in SB Nation’s mock draft

The annual SB Nation mock draft has dropped. Our beloved Knicks picked at No. 11 in the first round, and I once again had the honor of making the selection. My choice: Duke forward AJ Griffin.

Why did I choose Griffin? My reasoning is below.

The choice between AJ Griffin and Johnny Davis (whom I fully expect to be gone before pick 11 in the real draft) is a difficult one. I love me some Johnny Davis, but I just can’t see the Knicks passing up Griffin. He’s a New York-bred wing with good size who can absolutely shoot the lights out — 44.
