The New York Knicks are lottery bound after another disappointing season in the Big Apple.

There are a lot of things we don’t know about next year’s version of the Knicks. There will be a ton of holes to fill in free agency. We don’t know if they’re going to trade Carmelo Anthony.

We do know that they're probably not going to keep Derrick Rose around (based on the fact they shopped him at the break, per Marc Stein of ESPN), but we don't know if they're planning on recruiting someone else to take his place or get their point guard of the future through the draft.

We do know two things, though:

Kristaps Porzingis is a part of the Knicks’ future. They need help pretty much everywhere else.

With apologies to Willy Hernangomez, who has exceeded expectations and could very well work himself into a fixture in the rotation, he’s probably not going to blossom into an untouchable All-Star. The Knicks need help everywhere.

In exploring the Knicks’ draft options for this year, I will first address where the biggest needs are, then look at which players are likely to be available to them in the draft who can help New York the most.
