Why The New York Knicks Do The Deal
As always, it’s hard to say with any certainty.
Onkongwu doesn’t look like a featured offensive weapon. That’s not his game. He’s a versatile defensive big who’s effective at finishing pick-and-rolls.

That would be Terry Rozier. Adding him to a core already featuring Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson ought to make the Knicks potent on the offensive end.
