When the NBA’s draft order is announced, teams around the league cross their fingers. Everyone with a chance is hoping to land the first overall pick.
In some years, the prize is bigger than others. This year was no exception. Victor Wembanyama was the apple of the eyes of several general managers around the league.
The San Antonio Spurs drew the right to select him. They won. A few years ago, the New York Knicks had their eyes on a similar prize.
They ultimately would miss out on Zion Williamson. With that said the Knicks have managed to put a competitive team together anyway.
After a second-round exit, don’t be surprised if they make a major upgrade this summer.
Could they acquire Keldon Johnson of the Spurs?
