If the Knicks win the lottery, whomever they choose to take will make his Big Apple debut in Brooklyn.
League sources told The Post the NBA draft will return to Barclays Center for a third straight season next month. It will mark the fifth straight year the draft will be held at an arena that houses the Nets. It took place at Prudential Center in Newark in 2011 and 2012.
While the June 25 draft will be held at the home of the Nets, the focus locally will almost exclusively be on the Knicks, who have the second-best chance to claim the top spot in the NBA draft lottery, which will be held at the ABC Studios in Times Square May 19.
