With the NBA Draft 2020 around the corner, the league's front offices will be tasked with finding the right talent. There are rumors of teams planning to trade up or down in the NBA Draft 2020, depending on the gaps they need to plug in their respective rosters. On that note, let's check out the latest buzz surrounding the Golden State Warriors and New York Knicks.
NBA Draft 2020: New York Knicks monitoring Isaiah Stewart to strengthen the frontcourt
According to the latest reports, the New York Knicks are planning to acquire the University of Washington prospect, Isaiah Stewart, with their 27th pick in the NBA Draft 2020. Stewart is a throwback to traditional centers and will provide the New York Knicks with grit and resilience to shore up their shaky defense.
Stewart's coach at the University of Washington, Mike Hopkins, thinks the young talent has a bright future in the league. He was all praise for Stewart in a recent interview, saying:
"He reminds me of a bigger version of Montrezl and a little Bam Adebayo. Probably not as skilled as Bam because he could handle it, but the same motor. It’s a relentlessness you can’t teach. It’s a mindset.’’
If the New York Knicks pick Hopkins in the NBA Draft 2020, they will be able to partner him with Mitchell Robinson, who has been an integral part of the Knicks setup.
