The New York Knicks may not be winning games in the short-term, but the future is as bright as it’s been in quite some time. Phil Jackson has built through the draft and acquired a number of crucial young pieces who were generally overlooked by the masses.
If any two players offer reason for sustainable optimism, it’s big men Kristaps Porzingis and Willy Hernangomez.
Porzingis and Hernangomez were both acquired by the Knicks on the night of the 2015 NBA Draft. It was a heartwarming turn of events for two players who had become close friends while playing for Baloncesto Sevilla of Spain’s Liga ACB.
