As the Knicks entered what could be a pivotal offseason for the immediate future of the franchise, there’s been one big thought on the minds of many. Could Joel Embiid leave Philly and land at Madison Square Garden? It doesn’t seem likely, but maybe we were focusing on the wrong noteworthy player. Maybe we should be talking about Zion Williamson of the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Pelicans are reportedly focused on trying to get Scoot Henderson in this month’s NBA Draft. New Orleans currently holds the 14th overall pick. If they want a legitimate chance of landing Henderson, then they’ll need to move up on the draft board.
