#24: New York Knicks take Kevin McCullar

The Knicks have built a playoff team rim protection and perimeter defense around one elite scorer, which is a playoff blueprint the Pistons could follow around Cade Cunningham.

McCullar is another player in that mold, as he is a very good defender who can knock down shots, so he might actually step on the floor for Tom Thibodeau in his first season, which isn’t true of a lot of rookies.

He gets compared to Josh Hart, so why not let him learn behind the real thing?
