New York Knicks: What happened to the young core of the 1990s?

The New York Knicks of the 1990s were perennial playoff contenders. Veteran players led the Knicks to two NBA Finals runs in the decade, a stark contrast from recent times when the Knicks have often packed their belongings by Tax Day.

While many people remember Patrick Ewing, John Starks, and Charles Oakley, the nineties Knicks teams had some young players on their roster, too.

From 1991-1995, the Knicks drafted four first round picks – Greg Anthony, Hubert Davis, Charlie Ward, and Monty Williams. New York also acquired Doug Christie in a trade in 1994.
