The New York Knicks will have plenty of influential players during the 2019-20 season. They signed multiple veteran free agents to come in and help the Knicks succeed moving forward, but their youth players are the focal point and will ultimately be the priority moving forward. Building around them and utilizing their talents will be head coach David Fizdale’s primary task.
Drafting RJ Barrett with a third overall pick in the NBA draft this off-season gives the Knicks a true scoring option and a potential star in the league. While they missed out on Zion Williamson in the lottery, Barrett has plenty of potentials and can develop into a productive and efficient force.
