3. Romeo Langford

Romeo Langford is another top prospect the Knicks should see themselves getting in next year’s draft.

Langford is a relentless scoring machine who can score in almost every way possible, wreaking havoc on every opponent that attempts to guard him. His unselfishness and court vision are all attributes that have helped the process of him becoming a great all-around player.

Romeo Langford was born in Indiana, where he learned to play basketball by idolizing –who else?– LeBron James. Sticking to his hometown, Langford is now a member of the Indiana Hoosiers basketball team, and is their undeniable leader.

Standing 6’6”, his 6’11” wingspan allows him to score with ease over guards that share his size. It seems like Langford doesn’t have any major holes in his game. A fairly low free throw percentage (he shot 5-for-11 in his debut) is not something that should scare away potential selectors, especially when you weigh in his tremendous upside.

Now we are finally going to be able to see what this top-five prospect can do at a collegiate level. If his game transitions smoothly over from high school, Indiana fans should be in for a treat.
