The New York Knicks once again missed out on the No. 1 overall selection in the NBA Draft. New York ultimately landed in the Top 3, but its position in the third slot resulted in both Zion Williamson and Ja Morant falling out of reach.
The Knicks ultimately selected former Duke Blue Devils shooting guard RJ Barrett, who has managed to piece together a much stronger rookie season than he’s been given credit for.
Before Barrett had even played a game in orange and blue, an incomparable burden had been placed upon him.
