The New York Knicks had a great draft in 2018, on paper. The team had a lottery pick and selected Kentucky’s Kevin Knox with the ninth pick. In the second round, the Knicks chose Mitchell Robinson with the 36th pick out of Chalmette High School in Louisiana.
At the beginning of the season, it appeared that Knox was the better pick. Robinson was battling an ankle injury, but Knox just seemed more fluid. Robinson did not play competitive basketball in a year while training for the draft.
However, the roles have been reversed. Robinson appears to be the better pick as Knox struggled mightily in the second half of the season.
