With the eighth overall selection in the 2017 NBA Draft, the New York Knicks will be searching for the next big thing.
The Knickerbockers have been linked to multiple prospects from a variety of schools, and even countries. These candidates are equipped with traits that compare to some of the NBA’s most talented players.
The three prospects who seem to surface the most in rumors are Malik Monk, Frank Ntilikina, and Dennis Smith Jr.
Phil Jackson could use another player like Kristaps Porzingis to help save his subpar legacy as team president of the New York Knicks.
