NBA Eastern Conference: Most important need for each Atlantic Division team heading into the NBA Draft

New York Knicks (Picks 3, 55)

NCAA Basketball Tournament - East Regional - Washington DC

Needs: Guards

The New York Knicks are set to be among the busiest teams this offseason. They have the room to sign two star free agents and also possess the third overall pick in the NBA Draft which puts them in a great position.

The Knicks have been known to make some boneheaded decisions in the past, but it's unlikely even they will be able to mess this one up.

New York were easily the worst team in the NBA last season. They struggled in almost all aspects of the game, ranking dead last in shooting efficiency and assists. They were also among the cellar-dwellers in terms of rebounding.

Their most pressing concern though is shooting. With the third overall pick, they will in all likelihood choose RJ Barrett which should solve some of their issues.

Despite playing alongside Zion Williamson in Duke, Barrett more than held his own, averaging 22 points, seven rebounds and four assists per game - the first freshman in NCAA history to do so.
