The New York Knicks are currently in the process of evaluating the top point guard prospects in the 2017 NBA Draft. Those evaluations have taken Phil Jackson across the country as he determines which floor generals would best fit the long-term vision.
As Jackson evaluates his options in the first round of the annual selection process, he’s maintaining an interest in players further down the board.
Jackson recently had dinner with 2017 NBA Draft prospect Dennis Smith Jr. of the North Carolina State Wolfpack. It was a significant turning point in the evaluation process, as New York has been tied to Smith as an option at No.
