The New York Knicks can’t catch a break. After several years of struggles, the New Yorkers were hoping to get a good draft pick in the lottery, but that wasn’t the case. They got the 8th overall pick in the draft, but that’s not good knowing that this draft won’t be full of talent.
Perhaps the first five picks are going to be really good in the league, but it’s hard to think the Knickerbockers are going to land a star with that pick.
Sacramento Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox, just like the rest of the NBA, had something to say about the draft lottery, mocking the Knicks, whose fan base thinks they deserve a top 3 pick every single year until they improve their level. He took to Twitter to send a message and the Knicks fans weren’t pleased by that.

They didn’t take it so well and let Fox know. He later would react to these comments, taking more shots at the Knicks and their fans.

Even though he plays for the Kings, it looks like everybody in the league has something to say about the New Yorkers and their bad luck and bad management decisions. The Knicks have been wandering around for some time now and that doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon.
