NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — It’s a big night for the future of the Knicks.
Duke’s Zion Williamson is already being billed as the franchise’s savior.
First they have to hope the pingpong balls come out in their favor during Tuesday night’s NBA draft lottery in Chicago.
But how much of slam dunk is Williamson for the Knicks?
Back in 1985, New York won the lottery and used the top overall pick on Georgetown’s Patrick Ewing. The selection of the future Hall of Fame center helped position the Knicks as an championship contender for the next decade.
