After dropping two spots in the draft lottery, they now hold the seventh pick, despite finishing dead last in the West. Even more painful? Former coach Mike Brown just led the Knicks to a championship. ESPN slotted them dead last in their power rankings. With a veteran core of Sabonis, DeRozan, and LaVine—and flashes from young talent—they’re likely to trade at least two stars to rebuild. The real test? Their top-7 draft pick in June, expected to be a point guard like Darius Acuff Jr., to replace DeAaron Fox and lead the next era.
