Pre-Draft Outlook
The Knicks had some ups and downs in the regular season, but were dominant through the playoffs, going 16-3 through all four rounds to win the team’s first NBA title in 53 years. Their starting lineup remains under contract and they’re built to win now.
The Way to Go
While the starters are all under contract, the Knicks’ reserves are mostly free agents. With this being a win-now situation, they should be looking for players that can contribute right away with the 24th and 31st picks, when upperclassmen Joshua Jefferson, Alex Karaban, Bennett Stirtz, Dailyn Swain and Henri Veesaar could be available.
