Detroit Pistons Mock Draft 3.0: Pick No. 20
27. Scouting Report. Oregon / New York Knicks. 20. Pick Analysis. Shooting guard. Chris Duarte. player
Don’t look now but the New York Knicks might be….gasp….. good. They are the 4th seed in the East, have won nine of ten and Julius Randle is playing like a legit MVP candidate.
Good times in the Big Apple.
Now the Knicks just need to fine-tune their roster and all teams could use more shooting, so they will grab one of the best shooters in the draft in Duarte, the senior from Oregon.
The Knicks will try to get someone who is ready to play now, so they could trade this pick or use it on an upperclassman like Duarte, who doesn’t have the highest ceiling but will come into the league ready to play.
Duarte shot over 42 percent on fairly high volume from long-range and that should translate to the NBA right away.
