In this 2017 NBA Mock Draft, Daily Knicks provides upside comparisons for every Round 1 prospect. Who do the New York Knicks select?

The month the New York Knicks have been anxiously anticipating has finally arrived. The 2017 NBA Draft is mere weeks away, and thus, mock drafts will be constructed in an even more precise and methodical manner than before.

While team-centric mock drafts have been produced on Daily Knicks on a consistent basis, June’s arrival has sparked a need for a broader evaluation.

All eyes may be on the Knicks, but what happens before and after New York picks is of undeniable significance. Whether or not the player whom Phil Jackson selects at No. 8 overall becomes a franchise cornerstone, those selected elsewhere may justify the hype.

New York shouldn’t spend too much time worrying about what’s happening around them, but knowing and understanding trends is an important part of being ahead of the curve.

In this 2017 NBA Mock Draft, the reality is acknowledged that fit and talent may not always line up. Some teams are in a position to select the best player available, but others will need to be far more methodical moving forward.

The question is: who are the New York Knicks picking at No. 8 and what’s transpiring around them in the latest 2017 NBA Mock Draft?
