At 10-17 the NY Knicks are only one game out of the 8th spot in the east. Not sure how the hell that is possible, but it is true. That would be hilarious if they ended up well below .500 and made the playoffs. Well not too hilarious to Jazz fans who are banking on that lottery pick. Go Knicks!
Knicks have been playing well as of late, but I don't see a franchise changing type player outside of Wall, Favors, Turner, & Wesley Johnson. There are some pretty good role players, but there aren't much more than role players after those 4, so this pick has been blown out of proportion. Knicks have been playing a pretty favorable schedule as of late though, so there's still hope for it to re-emerge into the high lotto.
I think once they trade away their first round pick, the coaches are going to stop thinking about tanking to get a higher pick.
god with OKC, Nuggets, and utah getting atop 5-8 pick.... are division is scary... while our center barley plays cause hes always hurt. Talk about changing of the guard in the NW.
