As the New York Knicks face an uncertain future in their frontcourt with Precious Achiuwa and Isaiah Hartenstein approaching free agency, the 2024 NBA Draft presents an opportunity to address some of their needs. One player who has caught their attention is G League Ignite forward Tyler Smith.

“After a solid season that ended in Game 7 of the conference semifinals, the Knicks know their path could be tougher next year. Will they use both of their consecutive first-rounders or trade them to bolster their roster with veterans? If they make this pick, the teenaged Smith is raw but eventually could develop down the road into a stretch big with a useful 7-1 wingspan,” reports The New York Post.

Smith is certainly a developmental prospect, but his potential makes him an appealing addition to the Knicks’ roster. With a massive 7-1 wingspan, he possesses the physical tools that could allow him to evolve into a significant contributor over time.

The Knicks hold the 24th and 25th picks in the first round, and while there’s a possibility they may not use both selections, Smith could be a valuable pick if available. His presence would allow him to develop at his own pace without immediate pressure to perform, making him a strategic choice for the team’s future.
