In the NBA, teams generally draft the best player available rather than by position of need. In the case of the New York Knicks, the pick should be a player who most closely aligns with the culture that the organization is trying to build.
If defense, unselfish play and high IQ are the qualities you demand in your team, these should also be the qualities you look for in each and every player. You would pass on Carmelo Anthony and select Dwyane Wade.
Will the Knicks’ front office have the rhinoceros hide of Dave Gettleman and make the choice based on an overall plan, or will they cave in to fans and media clamoring for someone like Anthony Edwards?
