NBA Mock Draft: Pick #11

27. Guard. Pick Analysis. Wisconsin / New York Knicks. Johnny Davis. 11. player. Scouting Report

The Knicks are a hot mess again and need help just about everywhere. They are a team that would probably love to swing some trades this offseason, but good luck with that, as I can’t see too many teams lined up to take on the contracts of Julius Randle or Evan Fournier.

The Knicks will gladly grab shooting guard Johnny Davis here, who would love playing in Madison Square Garden and would immediately be a fan favorite.

He is a quality mid-range scorer and a good defender who could be part of their backcourt of the future with Immanuel Quickley, though it seems the Knicks like QO more off the bench.

The Knicks could also go for a center here to replace Mitchell Robinson if he walks, but will go for Davis, who has a slightly higher ceiling than any of the centers in this draft.
