New York Knicks fans love the NBA Draft. It’s like our version of the NBA Finals, something of a Loser’s Ball. On one night, just for a few minutes, fans get to enjoy either the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat. The draft offers no in-between.
And the Knicks hold the coveted No. 3 pick for a draft class which, save for its projected Top 3, is largely a gamble. Assuming GM Scott Perry goes by most experts’ big boards, Duke wing RJ Barrett will be wearing a Knicks uniform next season.
