The New York Knicks completed what was a far more beneficial NBA Draft than some have given the front office credit for. There were risks taken, but French phenom Frank Ntilikina fills the longstanding need for a defensive-minded point guard.
Selected after Ntilikina was a player whose selection isn’t receiving nearly enough attention: former Houston Cougars shooting guard Damyean Dotson.
New York selected Dotson at No. 44 overall in the 2017 NBA Draft. The 23-year-old is coming off of a sensational senior season, during which he averaged 17.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 3.4 three-point field goals made per game.
