The injury issue surrounding Zion Williamson should not deter the Suns, Knicks or any other team of picking him first overall this June in the NBA Draft. What could get interesting is where Murray State point guard Ja Morant will go. The Knicks have point guards in Dennis Smith and Frank Ntilikina already on the roster and will obviously push hard to ink Kyrie Irving in free agency. So if New York winds up with the No. 2 pick, expect them to look elsewhere.
A few other interesting picks we have here in our latest mock include the Wizards taking Duke shooting guard Cameron Reddish, the Lakers landing Nickeil Alexander-Walker and the Celtics picking up DeAndre Hunter.
