New York Knicks: Don’t sleep on the other guard prospects

The New York Knicks have scheduled a private workout with Oklahoma Sooners point guard Trae Young. Reports indicate that the team is legitimately interested in selecting him with the ninth overall selection in the 2018 NBA Draft.

However, there are other highly touted guards who should be receiving a closer look from the coaching staff and scouting department.

Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer wrote last week that the Knicks have, “The hots,” for Trae Young, who led the nation last season in both points (27.4) and assists (8.7) per game.

Young’s father, Ray, has also indicated to the media that his son would love the opportunity to play in New York City, alongside Kristaps Porzingis.
