New York Knicks: Three Players To Draft And One To Avoid
By Eric Snyder
The 2017 NBA Draft will dictate the future of the New York Knicks. Just like in every draft, there are “can’t miss” prospects and a few “don’t draft” potential busts.
For various reasons, the Knicks find themselves at a crossroads this offseason. Carmelo Anthony is longing for greener pastures, while Phil Jackson sprinkles zen voodoo all over Madison Square Garden.
Since it appears the Knicks are likely to draft in the last half of the lottery, some individual prospects can be identified.
If an Anthony trade transpires, more draft picks may enter the mix. Truth be told, the Knicks need multiple first-round picks for sake of their future. For now, Jackson has one shot to make the right pick.
