NY Knicks: 5 players NY can target with pick #32 in 2021 NBA Draft

Finally, we’ve reached the last installment of X players the NY Knicks can target with each of their first three picks in 2021.

(Frankly, who gives a damn about pick #58…the Knicks are sure as hell not using it themselves and if they do, the player in all likelihood will never make a professional roster…this may come back to bite me in the butt so sorry in advance haha.)

As fans, we’re all patiently waiting to see how this draft in particular unfolds.

Last year, Leon Rose and Coach Tom Thibodeau were essentially playing with house money and no one anticipated the Knicks to make the playoffs, let alone host a series in Madison Square Garden.

So even though we were all pleasantly surprised with the 2020-21 season’s outcome, the pressure is on and the clock to begin building a championship-caliber roster starts now.

Who should the NY Knicks draft with the 32nd pick of the 2021 NBA Draft?

The Knicks finally stopped trading away all of their first-round picks a few years ago, so it’s been nice to have the ability to look forward to the draft for a few years now.

But this year, unlike many other in the past, the chances the front office does trade at least some of their picks are higher than usual and makes more sense this time around.

I’ve explored some prospects the team could explore if they trade up, who they could potentially target at pick #19, and who they could target with pick #21.

Realistically, they’re far more likely to package those picks in a big trade for a star player such as Damian Lillard if he were to become available.

This is what makes pick #32 so interesting…

This year’s draft is DEEP, like…40 players who can potentially have 10-15+ long careers in this league ‘deep’.

I believe pick #32 is the most likely pick to actually be made by the Knicks and not be traded.

So here are 5 players I could see the Knicks targeting with the 32nd pick of the 2021 NBA Draft.
