The 2015 NBA Draft is just a few hours away and it’s looking like we could be in store for a wild flurry of trade activity up until the Minnesota Timberwolves select Karl-Anthony Towns with the No. 1 pick.
The New York Knicks are one team that has been rumored to do just about anything and everything. According to the latest rumor, tweeted out by ESPN’s Chris Broussard, the Knicks are leaning towards selecting Emmanuel Mudiay if they do hold on to their No. 4 pick.

Mudiay has been rumored to fall anywhere between picks No. 2 and No. 6. The Knicks have a huge need for a point guard, along with just about every other position, and Mudiay is without a doubt one of the two best players at the position in the draft.

Mudiay has elite size at 6-foot-5-inches and is an absolute athletic freak. He just turned 19 in March and has all the potential in the world to become a superstar in the NBA.
CHECK IT OUT: Frank Kaminsky Could Move All The Way To No. 4
Earlier today, reports were that team president Phil Jackson had “fallen in love” with former Wisconsin big man Frank Kaminsky. The unanimous men’s National College Player of the Year in 2015 is expected to be drafted anywhere from pick No.9 to the early-teens, so No. 4 certainly seems a little early. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jackson is debating between taking Mudiay at No. 4 or trading back a few spots and selecting Kaminsky.
