The New York Knicks will own a top-five pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. Owning the League’s worst record guaranteed this, after a 17-65 season. They have a 14 percent chance at selecting Zion Williamson, pending the lottery ends in their favor. If not, Ja Morant, RJ Barrett, De’Andre Hunter and Jarrett Culver are among the players afterward.
New York also owns a second-round pick, but it sits 55th overall and not their own. That is due to a 2014 trade that lowered the luxury tax by trading this pick, a 2018 second-round pick and Travis Outlaw to the Philadelphia 76ers for Arnett Moultrie, who was waived.
