The Knicks and Draft Picks: A Love Story (or Lack Thereof) in 2023
Ah, the New York Knicks and the NBA Draft. A relationship that's been, well, let's just say uneventful as of late. Like that weird uncle at Thanksgiving who only talks about the good ol' days.
This year, things were particularly quiet on draft night for Knicks fans. Their war chest of picks? Depleted. Their chance of landing a future superstar? Zero. But fear not, Knicks faithful, because this ain't the end of the story!

| How Many Draft Picks Do The New York Knicks Have In 2023 |
Where'd all the picks go?
Let's just say the Knicks have been playing a game of pick-and-swap more strategic than their actual on-court defense. They've been dealing picks like a kid trading Pokemon cards, hoping to build a championship team the old-fashioned way: through trades.
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
Maybe they sent their picks to a farm upstate? Maybe they're being held hostage by a disgruntled mascot from another team? The truth is, those picks are now scattered across the NBA landscape, waiting for the right moment to return to New York.
So, what now?
Here's the good news: The Knicks might not have had any picks in 2023, but the future is lookin' bright (or orange and blue, depending on your preference). They have a treasure trove of picks coming their way in the next few years, including some from trades with the Mavericks, Wizards, and Pistons.
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
Translation: Get ready for a Knick-a-palooza in upcoming drafts!
But wait, there's more! (Because this is the Knicks, after all)
Of course, with the Knicks, there's always a twist. Some of those picks come with protections, meaning they'll only convey to New York if the trading team finishes below a certain record. So, Knicks fans, you might have to hold your breath and hope the Mavericks forget how to play basketball for a bit.
Tip: Stop when you find something useful.

The moral of the story? The Knicks might not have had any picks in 2023, but their draft future is full of intrigue, suspense, and maybe a little bit of head-scratching. Just another day at the office for Knicks fans, right?
