The Knicks enter the 2026 NBA Draft with a luxury few championship teams enjoy: patience. The draft will be held June 23-24, and New York, fresh off a title run that ended a 53-year drought, is scheduled to make the 24th, 31st, and 55th selections.
The champsionship core is in place. The challenge now is finding affordable contributors who can strengthen the bench, fit the culture, and grow alongside the vets. Over the next week, Posting and Toasting will profile prospects who could hear their names
called by the Knicks, breaking down the strengths, weaknesses, backgrounds, and potential fits. Bookmark this page to track who we profile, and if there’s someone you’d like us to spotlight, drop the name in the comments below.
Players Profiled
Isaiah Evans
Evans, a 6’6” sophomore, emerged as one of college basketball’s top shooters last season, averaging 15 points per game while shooting 38% from three-point range and nearly 19 points per game during Duke’s NCAA Tournament run. His deep-range shooting, off-ball movement, and positional size makes him an intriguing fit for a championship roster that could benefit from offense off the bench.
Chris Cenac, Jr.
Houston freshman Cenac is an intriguing big man who could be available at the 24th or 31st spots. Standing nearly 6’11” with a 7’5” wingspan, he combines elite physical tools, strong rebounding instincts, and emerging perimeter skills. He averaged 9.5 PPG and 7.9 RPG while leading Houston in rebounding as a freshman, showing the ability to finish at the rim, stretch the floor, and defend multiple actions. His offensive skills are raw and his playmaking and rim protection need development, but he profiles as a long-term frontcourt project behind Mitchell Robinson and Karl-Anthony Towns.
Stay Tuned. Go Knicks!
