Would the Knicks draft for need if they don’t win next week’s lottery and instead wind up with the second or third pick?
The Knicks view power forward as their greatest need following the Kristaps Porzingis trade. It just so happens that is the NBA position of Duke’s Zion Williamson, the consensus No. 1 pick. It also happens to be Kevin Durant’s position, too.
However, if the Knicks are choosing second or third with Murray State point guard Ja Morant and shooting guard RJ Barrett on the board, Knicks GM Scott Perry faces an interesting conundrum.
