The New York Knicks expect to be active in free agency this summer, but they shouldn’t forget the NBA Draft either.
Sure, a free agent market featuring Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, and others is indeed enticing, but the draft is equally important. Teams often look to it for the missing piece, roster depth, or the cornerstone who lays the foundation for a rebuild.
The Knicks will be a lottery team this summer, meaning they’ll likely have their pick of top-10 talent. The 2019 draft class isn’t the strongest, but one Oregon center should have plenty of Knicks fans interested.
