If the Knicks keep both picks I could 100% see them planning on taking Duarte and swinging for the fences on the other one. Duarte should be pretty safe. Shoots it well, has an NBA ready physique and does the boring stuff on defense. Basically Thibs's dream in a wing
Something like a Duarte and a Ziaire Williams draft would make some sense. Or maybe the rumors about Isaiah Jackson are true and NYK view him as a raw big man who they could mold into their version of Bam given some time. And if we're keeping it Kentucky BJ Boston will certainly be available as well.
I just have a hard time believing they are actually going to keep both picks.
