The post-lottery mock draft of sadness

That sucked but it was the most likely outcome based on the lol, percentages. Their history in the eighth slot is storied, if I may say so myself to you, and you and you. Most recently it begat everyone’s favorite polarizing guard, Frank Ntilikina. Prior to that they snagged a duo of Arizona Wildcats, Jordan Hill and Channing Frye. A festival of vegetables remember the great Tom Riker debacle of ‘72. The center from Rockville Centre, akin to no other, wadded up most of his career for the Allentown Jets. Then there’s some capitán called Willis Reed back in ‘64. That’s of course- as we all recall- the year the stupid Knicks didn’t, I repeat didn’t, take Doug Moon with the 94th pick in the draft. Yea, your favorite poverty franchise whiffed on that one. Just like how they always do.
