Once every little while until the draft, I'll take a survey of as many respectable NBA mock drafts as I can find, see what they're projecting for the Knicks, and report the results in this space. The whole exercise is sort of silly, but don't forget that some of mocks were on the right track at this time last year, and almost all of them had Donnie Walsh figured out by draft night. So, without further ado, let's mongle:
Ridiculous Upside: Ty Lawson
Draft Express: Demar Derozan
NBADraft.net: Stephen Curry
CollegeHoops.net: Ty Lawson
The Baseline: Demar Derozan
Hoops Hype: Demar Derozan
Inside Hoops: Stephen Curry
Alan Hahn: Stephen Curry
Ian Thomsen: Demar Derozan
Chad Ford: Stephen Curry
Skeets: Stephen Curry
Ziller: Jordan Hill
Just like last year, nearly all the mocks have narrowed it down to three guys right after the lottery. The consensus is that the Knicks will go for a guard, though whether they're looking for more of a facilitator or a scorer remains to be seen. Meanwhile, Tom Ziller just has to muddy everything by picking Jordan Hill. We'll chalk it up to post-lottery delirium and move on. Nothing to see here.
Draft season, y'all!
