The Knicks have a 14% chance of getting the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. They were one of three teams who had the best opportunity of securing that top pick. Neither the Suns, Cavs, or Knicks would be happy on this night.
The franchise failing once against to secure a #1 pick after enduring an 18-game losing streak and winning just 17 games was just brutal on many fronts for a franchise that just can’t seem to get anything go their way.
The New York Daily News front and back page of their paper pretty much summed up how the entire city is feeling about Tuesday night and one of the biggest draft lottery failures in recent memory:
Instead, the franchise will have to figure out who they take at #3 and hope once again that they can bring in a big free agent or two this offseason.
