Having spent roughly a week in reflection, a question beckons for the New York Knicks: What transpired at the 2018 NBA Draft Combine?

The New York Knicks have entered the 2018 NBA Draft process with a rare opportunity to solidify the future with just one selection. The health of one Kristaps Porzingis will determine the trajectory of the organization, but there’s a solid foundation in place.

Thankfully for the Knicks, the 2018 NBA Draft Combine provided the front office with an opportunity to evaluate the prospects in an entirely new way.

Game film and skill set will be valued to a greater degree, but the Combine provides vital information. That includes the measurements for a player’s height, weight, and wingspan, as well as their athletic metrics.

It also enables a franchise to meet directly with a prospect and determine whether or not they’re the type of person whom they’re confident in investing in.

For the Knicks, the 2018 NBA Draft Combine was an opportunity to confirm or disprove preconceived notions. It indicated what certain prospects can or can’t be, and brought new eyes to prospects who may have been overlooked.

The question is: What are the key revelations that the New York Knicks can work with following the 2018 NBA Draft Combine?
