On Friday, July 5, the New York Knicks will start their portion of the 2019 NBA Summer League. Four games are ahead, with a matchup against Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans leading off.
The main attraction for the Knicks is RJ Barrett, the team’s No. 3 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. He might dazzle through these four games and make basketball fans excited, but there are other storylines to New York’s summer team.
With a roster of youth and inexperience trying to make an impression, there are players to follow through this week-plus of games.
