If the New York Knicks get their way, they’ll get the Wooden Award winner and Naismith College Player of the Year during the 2020 NBA draft.
“I think eight is definitely the lowest that goes,” said ESPN’s Jonathan Givony of Obi Toppin of Dayton on Lowe Post’s podcast with Zach Lowe (h / t RealGM). “The guy who recruited him all year and signed him, you know, heads the team that has pick number eight. I think from all understanding, he’s dying to get Obi Toppin. There’s nobody there. you trust most in this draft. We’re talking about Leon Rose and the Knicks. “
Unfortunately for the Knicks, Toppin may not be available at number 8.
