Knicks could trade for Jazz ‘dream target’ center at deadline

The New York Knicks have just over two weeks to make a move for Utah Jazz star center Walker Kessler. The Knicks have been linked to Kessler for months. The three-year veteran is one of the NBA’s most promising young talents and has taken his game to another level this season.

Kessler has established himself as a commanding force inside the game. He’s averaging 10.8 points, ranks sixth in the Association with 11.3 rebounds, ranks second with a staggering 2.5 blocks per game and leads the NBA in field goal percentage.

The 7-footer is exactly what New York needs to make a real run at a championship this spring. He’s a young, hulking center who can protect the rim and clean the glass at an elite level.
