Knicks Draft: Vernon Carey Jr. is an underrated prospect

The New York Knicks should keep their eyes open in considering Duke big man Vernon Carey Jr. in the upcoming draft.

It’s obvious the New York Knicks frontcourt needs reconstruction. With the exception of the highly coveted Mitchell Robinson, nobody else on the roster seems to cut it.

Julius Randle doesn’t fit with the team, and if the organization wants to see RJ Barrett progress upwardly, it makes sense to find Randle a new home. Bobby Portis is unlikely to be back next year due to his contract.
