The 2016 NBA Draft is becoming far more of a viable option for the New York Knicks than most believed it would be. Despite entering the annual selection process without a first or second-round selection, New York attended the 2016 NBA Draft Combine to scout prospects.

With meetings being set with a number of intriguing players, the attention turns to the final position we’ve yet to acknowledge: center.

For those who missed it, Daily Knicks has already outlined the top attainable prospects at point guard, shooting guard, small forward, and power forward. One can access those articles by merely clicking on the position.

Center may not be much of a need, but in the spirit of being thorough, we must acknowledge it as a possibility.

The second round of the 2016 NBA Draft could play home to some of the better big men prospects in this draft class. From athletic defenders to skilled scorers, there are a number of intriguing options.

If only five can be had, these would be the centers to pursue.
