1. New York Knicks – Zion Williamson, F, Duke
Even after suffering an injury that cost him nearly a month of action, I don’t think anyone would argue with the fact that Zion Williamson is in a tier of his owns as the 2019 NCAA Tournament gets underway this week.
Short of some unforeseen event taking place between now and the 2019 NBA Draft, Zion will be the No. 1 overall pick. And, for the sake of his exercise, that happens to be the New York Knicks on this occasion. And for the Knicks, this would be a no-brain decision. They need all the talent they can acquire, and adding a star like Zion would be a home run for this franchise.
This pick would make even more sense considering that they just traded away Kristaps Porzingis and is in dire need of a new face of the franchise – barring what may or may not happen during free agency.
