Take a deep breath New York Knicks fans. I’m going to say this a few times over the next month, but please hear me out: This isn’t the end of the world.
Zion Williamson is the ultimate prize in this year’s draft, but he’s not the only potential superstar. Ja Morant looks like he can become an absolute stud and once upon a time, R.J. Barrett was projected to go first overall in the draft—yes, ahead of Zion.
Should the Knicks keep this pick, they’ll likely take Morant or Barrett—whoever the Memphis Grizzlies pass on.
