The 2020 NBA draft is Wednesday evening. Here’s the New York Post with a Knicks note:
Isaac Okoro, the Auburn small-forward defensive specialist, would seem just what Dr. Thibodeau ordered.
Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau is trying to change the franchise’s culture to one that emphasizes winning and defense. And Okoro says that’s all he knows.
Okoro, who has interviewed with Knicks brass ahead of Wednesday’s draft, says he’s tried to tell teams he will “bring in a winning culture.’’ By all accounts, Okoro shapes up as the draft’s best perimeter defender…
The Knicks will select at No. 8 and Okoro remains on the radar with the club potentially passing on a point guard.
The draft will be held virtually this year, over the Internet, based out of ESPN studies in Bristol, Connecticut.
