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

5. Brice Sensabaugh, G, Ohio State

Heading into the start of the college basketball season, I’m not sure there were many scouts that were projecting Brice Sensabaugh to be a high draft pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. In fact, coming out of high school, he was just the 45th-ranked high school player by ESPN. Nevertheless, he’s coming off a potentially life-changing freshman season at Ohio State. Now, there’s a chance he could be taken just outside the lottery in this year’s NBA Draft.

Sensabaugh is coming off a season in which he led the Buckeyes in scoring with 16 points per game. He added five rebounds per contest and was extremely efficient, hitting at a 48% clip overall and a 41% clip from three-point range. The next couple of months will be interesting for Sensabaugh. Despite the fact that he somewhat outperformed his pre-season expectations, I believe he still has some work to do during his pre-draft process.

But if the Knicks are looking for a potential offensive sparkplug off the bench, Sensabaugh may be a great selection at this point in the NBA Draft. And with the way that he blossomed during his freshman season, there’s a case to be made that he clearly still has some untapped potential.
