A number of 2017 NBA Draft prospects stepped up with stellar performances in the Sweet 16. Which players would look best with the New York Knicks?

The New York Knicks have finally held onto their draft picks. Though there are areas in which team president Phil Jackson has faltered, it’s hard not to appreciate him for avoiding the same mistakes that previous regimes managed to commit.

The question is: what are the Knicks planning to do with the first-round selection and the two second-round picks at the 2017 NBA Draft?

The 2017 NCAA Tournament has lived up to every ounce of the hype. A No. 11 seed is in the Elite Eight, a No. 4 seed advanced on a buzzer-beater, and four games ended with a deficit of just one possession in one of the wildest rounds in recent memory.

The Knicks have been one of many teams keeping their eyes on the Madness, as the future of the organization could be decided in 2017.

In some instances, the players appearing on this list have been strong throughout the 2017 NCAA Tournament. In others, it’s a long-awaited arrival for players who could be on NBA rosters during the 2017-18 season.

The question is: who stepped up during the latest round of the 2017 NBA Draft? Who stepped up during the Sweet 16?
