New York Knicks
It does not take a genius to know that the New York Knicks need a point guard. They have not had a reliable option for years now and it has severely impacted the team.
The point guard has turned into the most critical position on the court, so it impacts the Knicks not having a solid option. As good as Immanuel Quickley looked over the season’s final weeks, it is hard to imagine he will magically become a franchise guard.
The New York Knicks are on the brink of becoming a win-now team. Quickley is better coming off the bench, which means the Knicks should still be looking for a starter. Enter Wall.
It looked like all of the pieces were in place last season, but New York took significant steps back this year. The positive is that some young pieces, such as Quickley and Obi Toppin, look like future contributors.

RJ Barrett is continuing to improve and the Knicks have to hope that Julius Randle can repeat his production from last season. This is what ultimately earned him a contract that might have been a mistake.
Regardless, Randle and Barrett would improve with a point guard like Wall. He would give the offense a reliable ball-handler and scorer at the top of the offense.
