The New York Knicks’ case for trading down in the 2020 NBA Draft

Long-suffering New York Knicks fans are usually excited about the NBA Draft. But in the wild and wacky year that is 2020, this is simply not the case.

Frustration with the front office isn’t the reason why though. Rather, the 2020 NBA Draft class is so weak that it’s hard to become intrigued. The two top prospects are Georgia 2-guard Anthony Edwards and athletic 19-year-old point man LaMelo Ball. Talent aside, both are considered project players.

Meanwhile, the Knicks will take their turn at No. 8 despite finishing with the sixth-worst record in the league.
