Knicks Rumors: Vernon Carey Jr. Option For The Center

Many believe that Mitchell Robinson will be the pivot of the Knicks of the future. Just around Robinson, a team that will hopefully return to being competitive will be built. The Knicks must find greater depth. It is in the center that New York must absolutely strengthen itself.

For this reason, the former Duke Blue Devils center Vernon Carey Jr. could be a player who deserves serious consideration in Round 2 or at the end of Round 1. In the 2019-2020 period, Carey posted an average of 28.6 points, 14.1 rebounds, 2.5 blocks and 1.1 points stolen every 40 minutes, for a Duke team that scored 25-6.

If the Knicks believe that Carey can balance the central position, it is a long-term project worth investing in.
