Georgia Tech shooting guard Michael Devoe knows how much his former Florida classmate RJ Barrett would love to play with his Duke buddy Zion Williamson in the NBA. Devoe also knows how much the Knicks need a player of Barrett’s ilk.
Devoe, who led the nation in 3-point shooting percentage at Montverde (Fla.) Academy in 2017-18 during its perfect 35-0 season, said it will be hard for the Knicks to pass on his former high-school wingman, who grew up in Canada.
The Knicks won the third pick in the NBA draft at last week’s lottery and have not ruled out packaging the pick in an Anthony Davis blockbuster to New Orleans, where Williamson will soon call home.
