Of all of the Knicks' summer plans to bring stars to Madison Square Garden, the only sure thing — and maybe the only one that has a chance — is Thursday night’s NBA Draft when they will have the third pick in what most around the league believe is a three-star draft.
Free agents can spurn them — and have done so in the past. Trades can evaporate. But with the No. 3 pick the Knicks can find a star, and with RJ Barrett the target this time they have a potential star who actually wants to be here.
