According to SNY’s Ian Begley, the New York Knicks are interested in bringing in a shooting big man to their already crowded frontcourt, either through free agency or the draft. The duo of Julius Randle and Mitchell Robinson are heavy on the interior, so adding a stretch big could help with the team’s spacing on offense.
This year’s draft is loaded with stud guards and polarizing big men, who through development, could turn into phenomenal stretch options down the line. However, the Knicks will likely want an immediate impact player so it can begin to sway marquee names to the Garden.
