NBA Draft 2020: 5 prospects the New York Knicks must look to target this year

#3 Deni Avdija

Among all the amazing prospects in this list, Deni Avdija could just be the most attractive one for the New York Knicks.

The player has amazing court vision and could easily take up the role of a point forward in due course. Moreover, his abilities as a scorer are incredible. While he isn't a consistent pull-up shooter just yet, his shooting from behind the arc looks incredibly encouraging already.

Considering his abilities and sky-high ceiling, other franchises are starting to notice the prospect, and the New York Knicks may have to trade up during NBA Draft 2020 in order to pick Deni Avdija.

#2 Anthony Edwards

A contender to be the 1st-overall-pick in NBA Draft 2020, almost everyone in the league now has heard the name of Anthony Edwards.

While Edwards' court vision isn't as advanced as the others in this list, his floor general prowess and scoring ability may well be the strongest of the lot. The 19-year-old oozes confidence and swagger and could develop into a very good leader in the NBA in the future.

The New York Knicks may have to sacrifice a lot to get him, but it could all be worth it for Anthony Edwards.

#1 Lamelo Ball

Topping all the awe-inspiring and frankly ridiculous passing talent in the upcoming NBA draft is Lamelo Ball.

When the ball is in his hands, Ball is like a magician, pulling one trick after another, misdirecting the attention of the on-ball defender before he passes it into the best possible spot. Lamelo Ball's game awareness in different situations is astounding, and he is light years ahead of his competition in that regard.

With the New York Knicks struggling to find relevance in the modern era, it could need a deeply unique prospect such as Lamelo Ball to lead the franchise to a better and brighter future.
