2022 NBA Draft Profile: MarJon Beauchamp
A do-it-all wing who’s had a circuitous route to the NBA Draft, is there more to MarJon Beauchamp’s game than meets the eye from his one G League Ignite season?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Nikola Jovic
A tantalizing but raw big man with a developing jump shot, could Nikola Jovic present the rare opportunity for a high-upside draft-and-stash for the Knicks at pick 11?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Jalen Williams
What if the Knicks could draft a wing who’s good at pretty much everything on offense and has an otherworldly wingspan at pick 11? Why would he even be available there?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Jaden Hardy
A great shooter, but undersized and not profiling as a great defender, Jaden Hardy has a good foundation if he can unlock other aspects of offense. But can he get there?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Malaki Branham
Recently linked to the Knicks, a sweet-shooting rising freshman who’s a sneakily great pick-and-roll ball handler could be a very real option with the 11th pick.
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Jeremy Sochan
A do-it-all player at Baylor who didn’t quite show elite ability at any one skill, could Jeremy Sochan provide the Knicks with one of the most intriguing balls of clay in the draft?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Johnny Davis
Tasked with doing everything at Wisconsin on both ends, Johnny Davis was hampered by injuries down the stretch of this past season. In a better context, could he be a steal for the Knicks at 11?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Jalen Duren
With Mitchell Robinson’s future in flux, could spending the 11th pick on one of the best centers in the class be a prudent move for the Knicks, or a wasted opportunity in a wing-driven league?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Tari Eason
A versatile big wing who did himself a lot of favors at the NBA Draft Combine, could Tari Eason give the Knicks a solid two-way player at the 11th pick?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Keegan Murray
Maybe out of the Knicks’ range, maybe a trade-up candidate, one thing is for certain about Keegan Murray: he was one of the most productive players in college basketball last season.
Good things come in twos
In Knicks history, some of the best eras have been started via a single draft where two awesome talents were taken at once. Could Obi Toppin and Immanuel Quickley be the latest dynamic duo in Knicks history?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Bennedict Mathurin
A tailor-made 3-and-D player, does Bennedict Mathurin have more to offer as a playmaker to unlock his game in the NBA?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Shaedon Sharpe
A “mystery man” only to those that aren’t familiar with his rise in high school, could Shaedon Sharpe present the most intriguing star bet in the 2022 draft class?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Jabari Smith Jr.
Jabari Smith Jr. leapt up draft boards this year with his elite shooting as a big man, but could his lack of inside game hold him back in the NBA?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Jaden Ivey
Perhaps the most electric player in the 2022 NBA Draft, could Jaden Ivey give the Knicks the explosive guard they’ve sorely missed for decades?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: AJ Griffin
Equipped with a Day 1 NBA body and a wet jumper, can AJ Griffin overcome a robust injury history and subpar interior game on the Knicks?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Dyson Daniels
Perhaps the best defender in the draft, could the lengthy Dyson Daniels give the Knicks the solution they’ve needed at point guard for years, or is he simply going to be a lockdown NBA defender?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Chet Holmgren
Generally considered the consensus top pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, could the mold-breaking big Chet Holmgren give the Knicks a game-changer if they move up in the draft lottery?
2022 NBA Draft Profile: Paolo Banchero
A big wing with top pick pedigree, could Paolo Banchero be the prize waiting for the Knicks if they move up in the lottery?
