It’s been a rough season for the New York Knicks. Not only do they own the worst record in the NBA, but they don’t have any personnel in their current rotation with an <em>actually </em>guaranteed spot in 2015-16. A number of players are under contract, but they’re performing at a level that suggests their role has yet to be determined. All in all, it’s been a very rough season for the Knicks. The good news for New York is that the future is shaping up to be bright. There will be mountains of cap space and an all but guaranteed selection in the Top 4 of the 2015 NBA Draft. Most importantly, New York would have the highest odds of any team in the NBA to secure the No. 1 overall selection via the draft lottery.
