NBA Mock Draft: Ranking top 10 realistic picks for New York Knicks

9. Kris Murray, F, Iowa

If the New York Knicks are looking for more of a scoring option in the 2023 NBA Draft, there is one experienced prospect that would make a lot of sense for a team that may be looking for a more NBA-ready contributor. Iowa’s Kris Murray has the look of a player that could come in and embrace a scoring role for a team off the bench.

Murray may not be the prospect that his young brother, Keegan, was but he’s developed into a really good prospect in his own right. During his junior season, Murray is coming off a season in which he averaged 20 points and eight rebounds on 48% shooting from the field and 34% shooting from three-point range. At 6-foot-8, he’s a player that could play the small forward or power forward position at the next level and could offer some versatility in an ever-changing NBA.

Murray may not have the high ceiling that some of the other prospects on this list have but he’s certainly a player that comes in with a more developed offensive game. And if that’s something New York would be looking for, Murray may be their prospect.
