If your freezer isn’t already filled with envelopes, the time to stock it would be now, as the Knicks revealed on Saturday that former number one overall pick Patrick Ewing will represent the team during the draft lottery on May 14.
The announcement, which Ewing himself hinted at a few days ago, is a breath of fresh air for the Knicks, which can finally turn to the offseason after finishing the 2018-19 campaign at 17-65, good for worst in the NBA this year and tied for worst in franchise history.
“Patrick is a huge part of our team’s history and we’re thrilled to have number 33 represent the franchise at this year’s draft lottery,” Steve Mills, president of the Knicks, said in a statement.
