The NBA Draft Lottery on Tuesday will determine where the New York Knicks pick, and no matter where they land, Phil Jackson must nail this pick.
In the 2014 NBA Draft, Jackson drafted Cleanthony Early and Thanasis Antetokounmpo. Early, a standout in two March Madness appearances with Wichita State failed to match the expectations of Knick fans. The former Shocker struggled to hit the three ball and battled injuries.
Ultimately, Early only managed to play in only 56 games over two seasons for the Knicks. Antetokounmpo, the younger brother of Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, also left Knick fans underwhelmed with his play and failed to make the jump from the D-League to the NBA.
