New York Knicks
What They’re Thankful For: Phil Jackson taking Kristaps Porzingis
Kudos to the Knicks, or Phil Jackson, for sticking to their guns – and guts. The Knicks made the right pick at the 2015 NBA Draft, by taking Kristaps Porzingis. He looks like one of the most NBA-ready rookies playing right now and has helped lead the Knicks to an 8-7 record.
New York looks like a legitimate threat to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. And Jackson sticking to his plan of taking Porzingis with the fourth overall pick is a big reason why.
