Why the New York Knicks Can’t Afford to Screw Up the 2017 NBA Draft

The New York Knicks have not used the draft as a way to build their roster. In fact, Kristaps Porzingis is the only player on the team the Knicks drafted.

This is a great draft for all of that to change and get the Knicks moving in the right direction with good young talent.

Also, Phil Jackson has shown a high interest in this draft class. That is evident with him trying to acquire another first round pick.

If Jackson can pull off a trade for another first rounder, then it would a be a rare victory for him during his tenure with the Knicks.
