Bleacher Report speculates a realistic option for the Knicks.

Instead of throwing a lot of money on Fred VanVleet, Montrezl Harrell or DeMar DeRozan, what if the Knicks go the other way and focus on bringing young talent to develop?

Jones has improved in each of his four professional seasons and could be a high-flying addition to the Knicks starting lineup alongside RJ Barrett.

Getting Jones on a reasonable deal would also keep room for the future roof open in 2021 and help provide an even stronger core of young players who could appeal to free agents.
