12. New York Knicks (trade back with LA Clippers) – Lonnie Walker, G, Miami

After trading back with the Los Angeles Clippers, the New York Knicks still move back at take a player they really like in Lonnie Walker. He is reportedly in the mix at No. 9 and if they can draft him while adding a second lottery pick, they’d be ecstatic.

Walker showed flashes of stardom during his lone season with the Miami Hurricanes, but because of his inconsistent small sample size, he’s not projected to be a top 10 pick. The talent is there, however, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him drafted at No. 12.
