The New York Knicks have been the subject of a lot of speculation about what they’ll do at No. 4 overall, and Emmanuel Mudiay might be the pick.

Everyone is wondering what the New York Knicks are going to be doing tonight at the NBA Draft, as whatever they do is going to be analyzed, over-analyzed and re-analyzed again and again. Phil Jackson is doing himself no favors in the way he’s approached the preparation for this draft and with hours left before things go down, the chatter and mockery continues.

Of course, the main reason the Knicks are getting trolled has everything to do with the fact they are clueless about how to handle the No. 4 overall pick. From Jahlil Okafor rumors to reaching for Frank Kaminsky or Willie Cauley-Stein, the rumors have been all over the map for the Knicks.

According to Chris Broussard, the New York Knicks are leaning towards drafting Emmanuel Mudiay with the No. 4 pick if they don’t end up trading it for Frank Kaminsky.

The Knicks are getting played hard over their interest in Kaminsky, as teams with picks six through nine are showing interest that may be laced with a smokescreen. If the Knicks take Kaminsky at No. 4 overall it would be utterly hilarious in every way, as would trading down for him.

Then again, people will troll the Knicks for taking the unproven Mudiay as well, which goes to show no matter what happens, the Knicks are screwed regardless.
