Knicks draft Kristaps Porzingis
Team president Phil Jackson rolled the dice and selected the 19-year-old Latvian. Porzingis wowed NBA personnel with his size (7-foot-2) and ability to shoot from the perimeter. His shooting should fit in nicely with the Knicks' triangle offense. Porzingis is slender (230 pounds) so there are questions about his ability to defend post players in the NBA. -- ESPN NY
