2021 NBA Draft Profile: Evan Mobley
An extremely talented big man who, in a non-Cade Cunningham-headlined year, might be in consideration for the top pick in the draft.
2021 NBA Draft Profile: Cade Cunningham
A potentially generational talent who’s basically 100% out of reach for the Knicks this draft.
Draft Profile: Desmond Bane
Prez breaks down the game of Desmond Bane, a silky shooter from TCU who’s built like a tank, but with a small wingspan. Will the shooting translate enough to turn him into a plus-shooting role player in the NBA?
Draft Profile: Cole Anthony
Prez digs into the game of point guard Cole Anthony, a New York kid whose high school numbers labeled him an elite prospect, but lost a ton of ground in the draft after a lackluster freshman year at North Carolina.
Draft Profile: Tyrese Haliburton
Prez gets into the game of Tyrese Haliburton, a nominal point guard whose skills more closely resemble that of a shooting guard. Could he be in play for the Knicks?
Draft Profile: Tyrese Maxey
Prez examines Tyrese Maxey, an undersized shooting guard who’s a dogged defender, but who possesses a jump shot that, as of now, is purely theoretical. Could he be the latest in a long line of Kentucky players hiding his true powers?
Draft Profile: Kira Lewis Jr.
Prez examines the game of Kira Lewis Jr., a lightning-quick young sophomore out of Alabama whose slight frame and fear of contact could hold him back in the NBA.
Draft Profile: Deni Avdija
Prez breaks down the game of Deni Avdija, a do-it-all wing from Israel who could provide the Knicks a needed high-floor talent. But will his shot translate to the NBA?
Draft Profile: Aleksej Pokusevski
Prez analyzes the game of Aleksej Pokusevski, the youngest player in the 2020 draft. A stretch 4 with a game like a 2 guard, will Poku’s body and mind catch up to his abilities?
Draft Profile: Obi Toppin
Prez breaks down the game of Obi Toppin, an offensive force in college whose status as a defensive liability could limit him in the NBA.
Draft Profile: Grant Riller
Prez breaks down Grant Riller, a guard who’s old (even for a senior), but a complete scorer with the ability to score at all three levels and break down a defense.
Draft Profile: Patrick Williams
Prez takes a look at the game of Patrick Williams, a fast-rising, classic Florida State wing with defensive range that needs to work on his offensive game.
Draft Profile: Isaac Okoro
Prez examines the game of Isaac Okoro, a physical specimen and defensive standout whose offensive game needs to develop at the NBA level.
Draft Profile: Devin Vassell
Prez takes a look at Devin Vassell, a wing prospect with two qualities the Knicks always crave: defense and 3-point shooting
Draft Profile: Onyeka Okongwu
Prez breaks down the game of Onyeka Okongwu, a skilled center who could present the Knicks with an interesting “best player vs. fit” conundrum if he makes it to No. 8.
Draft Profile: Anthony Edwards
Prez takes a look at Anthony Edwards, a guard with all the tools in the world that just needs to master how to use them.
Draft Profile: LaMelo Ball
Prez breaks down LaMelo Ball’s game: a big point guard with supernatural passing skills and a jumper that needs some work. Could he be the long-awaited answer for the Knicks at point guard if they move up in the lotto?
Draft Profile: Killian Hayes
Prez breaks down the game of The Strickland’s co-No. 1 prospect, point guard Killian Hayes
