Unfortunately, the Knicks seem to REALLY need a center, and they have two PF-able players in Al and Lee. I'm going to go with an SG, specifically DeRozan. They have Duhon and Nate, so they don't need a PG.

Who should they take? Tough call. Yeah, they need a center, and I have a hunch that they're going to let Lee walk this off-season to preserve their future cap room, meaning Jordan Hill could have a shot here.

Who do I think they'll take? Curry. Too much smoke there and what a history with his dad.

Who did I pick for them? Demar Derozan. They haven't had an ACTUAL SG since Allan Houston. They've been running all kinds of PG/SG combo guys, and they need an actual SG badly. Derozan is that guy that can get to the basket, while actually guard opposing SG's.

How were the 5 options determined?

As a Knick fan Hill all the way.

I pick the best 5 or 6 depending on what I've see in mock drafts, big boards, best player available, etc. It's no exact science.
