Prediction for Knicks: A lottery pick in the future
Season prediction for Knicks
While Tom Thibodeau has been a hard-driving, win-now coach, this team seems a long way from contending in a deep Eastern Conference. Anything better than last place in the Atlantic would be a huge upset and the team seems bound for the top of the ping-pong ball chase in next summer’s draft. As long as COVID-19 doesn’t stop the season, the Knicks will be in for a long one. Projected record: 24-48.
