Jahlil Okafor. 4. player. 27. <p>The dream scenario for the Knicks would be to have D’Angelo Russell fall to them at No. 4 overall, but landing Jahlil Okafor will elicit no complaints in the front office. New York is already high on Okafor and need frontcourt help to assist Carmelo Anthony defensively. That’s what Okafor can provide, as well as an offensive upside that could make him into one of the best big men in the NBA in a few years.</p>
<p>Of course, everything with the Knicks seems to be damaged goods, even new blood like Okafor. It’s not going to be an immediate turnaround, but Okafor could make the Knicks into what the Timberwolves were this year where they still couldn’t win but showed insane promise for the future.</p>.
