The New York Knicks hold the No. 4 pick in the draft, but they're hoping one of the top three prospects - Karl-Anthony Towns, Jahlil Okafor, and D'Angelo Russell - will fall to them.
However, according to Marc Berman of the New York Post, the Philadelphia 76ers are set on making sure the Knicks don't land one of those three.
According to a league source, the Sixers, who pick third, still have a firm Big 3 of Karl-Anthony Towns, Russell and Okafor and won't let any of the trio slip to Phil Jackson. Despite their young, marquee depth up front, the Sixers would take Okafor even if it's to collect an asset to trade later.
