What if the Knicks could get a very expensive NBA archetype (a sweet-shooting two-way threat) late in the first round? Kessler Edwards might be that guy.

How do we evaluate the skills of draft prospects? How should we? Prez details how the 2020 NBA Draft provided some valuable insight on prospect evaluation for 2021 and beyond.

Once the top point guard prospect in the 2021 class, Nix saw his stock fall after showing up to the G League Ignite on the heavy side and not exactly blowing the league out of the water. Could he be a low risk, high reward reclamation project for the Knicks around the first-to-second-round turn?

A dynamic guard who ran one of the best teams in basketball this past season, Suggs is likely to be a top-4 pick in the NBA Draft.

A springy wing with one of the most impressive athletic profiles in draft history, Johnson will likely be gone before the Knicks pick… but with the right slip, could be a trade up candidate.

A dynamic scoring guard from just up north at UConn, could Bouknight be an option for a creation-starved Knicks backcourt?

A national champion at Baylor, could Butler present a tantalizing trade-up option for the Knicks to solve their age-old conundrum at the point guard spot?

A physical specimen with consistency issues who may not be a Day 1 contributor for whatever team takes him in the lottery.

The headliner of the G League Ignite team’s inaugural squad, Green has the potential to be a primary scoring option for whatever team drafts him early in the NBA Draft.

An extremely talented big man who, in a non-Cade Cunningham-headlined year, might be in consideration for the top pick in the draft.

A potentially generational talent who’s basically 100% out of reach for the Knicks this draft.

The 2020-21 NBA season is almost here, and even if the Knicks win as many games as they can, they’re probably staring at a lottery pick next June. Prez and new contributor Knicks Draft Guy take a look at the point guards, the 5s, and the skilled players that don’t quite fit in a box in the 2021 NBA Draft.

Now that the 2020 NBA Draft is behind us and Obi Toppin is a Knick, who are some of the best prospects that will be available in the 2021 class? Prez dives into Cade Cunningham, BJ Boston, and more in today’s wing-centric Part 1 of The Strickland’s 2021 NBA Draft preview.
