With the Knicks currently picking at 24 and 25, most expect New York’s front office to bolster their frontcourt given the uncertainty of the center rotation come next season. If he’s still there, Kel’el Ware could be the exact piece the Knicks are looking for.
Ware is ranked as the 24th draft prospect by ESPN, putting him firmly within range for the Knicks to consider taking him. He’s 7’0”, 230 pounds, and only 20 years old, and is still making dramatic strides in improving his game.
After a solid freshman year for the Oregon Ducks, Ware found a new home with the Indiana Hoosiers, where he blossomed into one of the best players in the Big Ten.
