NBA Mock Draft 3.0: Rockets take a risk at No. 1; Wolves find missing piece
22. New York Knicks (via Dallas) – Ziaire Williams, F, Stanford
As one of the biggest surprise teams in the NBA this season, one thing that the New York Knicks have done well over the last few seasons, for the most part, is drafting players, even though not every one of their picks has blossomed as they’d hope, enough of them have shown promise that you have to credit where credit is due.
Another prospect that the team could look to take advantage of at this point in the draft is Zaire Williams, a 6-foot-9 forward out of Standford. Williams will need time to develop in the NBA but has the potential to be a really solid player.
You can make a case that Williams should probably be selected higher than No. 22, but an inconsistent season at Stanford kept him from that.
