Many believe that the New York Knicks need to draft a point guard, but selecting a small forward could be the key to the future.

The New York Knicks are on their way to having one of the most disappointing seasons in history. The Knicks traded for the 2011 NBA MVP, signed the 2013 Defensive Player of the Year, and signed quality guards in Brandon Jennings and Courtney Lee.

Even with those significant transactions, Knicks are missing the playoffs for a fourth consecutive season. The Knicks’ record is 30-51, which is the sixth-worst record in the NBA.

If the season were to end today, the Knicks would have the sixth-best lottery odds.

The NBA season is winding down, and there’s one game left until the playoffs begin. As the better teams in the NBA battle it out for the championship, the rebuilding teams are searching for the perfect player in the draft.

The NBA Draft will transpire on June 23.

This is by far the most talented class of prospects since the 2003 NBA Draft. If you don’t know, the 2003 NBA Draft had LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, and Dwyane Wade.

This draft is most noticeably brimming with outstanding talent at the point guard position.
